Anyone ever thought to blow into the drain holes??

It seemed kind of silly but also a totally water free way to freshen the root zone.

Thoughts?

Dude! Put that pipe down!

Referring to the other question...springtails, really? In a terrarium full of decomposing organic matter, maybe. An orchid in S/H? Nope.

Changing their air in the pot? I'm pretty sure that happens spontaneously with air movement and evaporation.

Don't do the blow hole and the springtails at the same time. You might accidentally inhale. Or maybe you have inhaled already? Like Ray said.
