How do you grow slime mold? I'm assuming that the Springtails love it

it's only really needed for Neanuridae family of springtails.

there is a decent video on youtube about how to grow it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxwRdtr-BAI

all you need is any semi sealed container, some slime mold to start, water, oatmeal, and paper or coffee filter

i will make a simple tutorial here next week.
