Kit is late and need temporary inclusive advice

Hi! I'm new to keeping isopods and have a question. My clown isopods just came in and the kit I bought isn't in yet (it should have been). Can I put then in the container I have with just coco fiber, Forest moss, and cardboard on top for now? Their stuff should get here in the next two days hopefully and the container I have has two large holes up top with stainless steel mesh over it. I also have springtails. Will they be fine in that for now. I have left over fluval stratum from a planted tank set up. Can that suffice as soil for now?

 
I don't know how I missed this post. So sorry, the main thing is getting the moisture right, not too dry or too wet. The cage decorations don't matter much.

 
I am thinking of trying heavy moist at one end, less moist in the middle, and dryish at the other end so the isopods I'm waiting for will have a choice.  It's was mentioned somewhere when I was doing research about them.
