I'm not sure what your problem is. I have had several terrariums that have
been kept for many years without any smell or visible deterioration. The
oldest is about 11 years old. - But then again, maybe I just have a poor sense
of smell!
Anyway FWIW, a few basics you have probably already considered: 1) get
rid of any peat or native soils that may be on the plants, 2) make sure
the terrariums have enought light for plant growth without cooking them
in direct sunlight, 3) make sure the terrariums are not contaminated
with fertilizers such as may occur if they were previously used for
fish, 4) dont't fertilize.
