Terrarium Tips - FIVE Mistakes Beginners Make

Have you made any of these mistakes? I certainly have, especially in the early days!

Can you grow wheat grass in a terrarium

I am a plant lady and do well with most plants. We grow hydroponically things we eat often in our home as well. They are everywhere in our home and I wouldn't have it differently. I am sincerely pondering creating terrariums. I think these would be fantastic gifts for friends and family. I really like your style as well. Thank you kindly!

Yep its the guilt of killing certain species that can influence you to research more.. especially when your like myself and wish to never convict yourself to failure. Its what makes us learn.. to understand and then to put it into practice.
Love your work... your an inspirational young man with an old soul.

I got into terrariums a few years ago and decided, with little experience, to make everyone in my family a terrarium for Christmas. They were absolutely beautiful and everyone loved them. Unfortunately, I thought it wise to water them all very well before giving them away! Of course, houseplants+winter+overwatering equaled certain death, and they were gone in a couple months :(

Thank you for these amazing tips. Have aquestion for you: I am planing to build a closed terrarium and I want to use a small fog pump to make a small waterfall. It wont be running all the time but I am still worried about the condensation level/balance in the terrarium. Would it make any problem?

Is it necessary to include springtails and such insects in the terrariums

ok found your Patreon and joined. Your videos have relaxed me beyond words, and rekindled my interest in tiny gardens - and bugs! I feel ike a kid again

How about springtails it is all the time needed?

Bro, can we put earthworm in a closed terrarium? Thanks.

Hello i am from a place which is really hot and humid .. but my terrarium is in my room which has AC running almost 24/7.. AC is known to reduce humidity.. will it affect my terrarium?

Great Video and Channel Mate. Thanks for Sharing and the Work you Put Into the Content.

Will the springtails not escape if the lid is left off?

How do you come with how much to charge for a terrarium if you plant to sell them?

what wood should we put in

My windows are translucent, will sunlight still be as strong through that?

the substrate i am using is the same substrate as what the moss was originally found on

Why is nobody talking about how he looks exactly like Brad Pitt

I've tried a few very simple attempts at mossariams over the last few years. This is my first time with "proper" terrarium jars and I'm so excited to hopefully get it right.

I'm trying Irish moss with a few small chunks of wild moss. I do plan to orders other mosses in to increase my chances of success. If im lucky I'll get my isopods to live in one of them!

I made some sealed and one open terrarium. I ended up sealing them all because fungus gnats infested the open one. I collected springtails from my garden, but I don't think they are suited for a terrarium environment. Here where I live, we have very dry, hot summers and I think perhaps the humidity might not suit them, I have problems with keeping local springtails alive in general, but we have strict import and quarantine laws, so I can't buy any of a different species.

What are care to b taken for boston fern inside terrarium, as it has started showing some dying symptoms?

I had already overwaterd my terrarium, is there any way to fix it now?

The fact that "your experience" of sealed terrariums has been negative may have more to do with your experience than with sealed terrariums.

My substrate feels damp but not wet and I only sprayed 5 squirts with a mist bottle but the glass has been foggy for three straight days. Is that still too wet?

Does the no direct sunlight rule apply for terrariums that are just dirt from the forest stuck in a jar?

could pincushion and java moss be kept in same closed jar terrarium ? they will be distant apart from each other but is it possible ?

I’m trying to make a terrarium with a plant of the apes theme does the last figurines affect the eco system ?

What I like about Terrariums is no mistake is ultimately unsolvable, even IF it requires pulling all the plants and doing the thing from scratch. The only real problem is if you drop it and it shatters!

I've got a south facing front door with two narrow frosted glass side panels the light is good and the sunlight never really penetrates. would this be a good place for a largeish terrarium please?

Bro u have such a relaxing voice. I watch ur videos as i go to sleep i love them so much

why is the moss is dying in my moist terrarium?

Can sphagma moss be too wet?

Your point about the UK moss isn't accurate. All UK moss can be grown in terrariums. They are sensitive to water acidity and soil type which are far more likely to cause moss death than air or temp.

not made a single mistake as yet....

.....also haven't built a terrarium yet so that might be the reason why

Just getting into making a terrarium.. Is it possible to use weeds/moss that grow on the street?

Hello, I've made a few of these mistakes such as store bought substrate and moss from my garden, however my plants are not dying (touch wood) and the moss is still green. Basically I'm asking what are other ways to tell the health of my terrarium?

Thank you for this video. I'm just doing some research for a creative writing project . . . question: what is the largest terrarium you've ever worked on? The largest you've ever seen? Do the problems get more complex the larger the terrarium?

Omg dude I'm from malvern haha 😄 thats crazy u are so close 🌱

Where should I get the soil

Very helpful. Tks

This is the way

If ther are animals in terrarium than also we can close

What's your advice for a succulent/cacti terrarium in a 20 gal glass tank (no lid and a really good grow light)

which is better between open terrarium and closed terrarium?
thanks for the answer

"Making mistakes is the best way to learn". Not true. The best way is to watch this guy's videos.

Hi from Australia! Thanks for your wonderful videos which have helped me so much. I do have one request though - would it be possible to stop the music playing whilst you're talking? It just seems unnecessary and a bit distracting. Anyway, thanks again, keep it up :)

İf the walls of closed terrarium are collecting droplets of water constantly it means there is too much water. The droplets are ok to be in the morning and evening but should not be there during the day. if they are there it's time to open the terrarium and let it dry. And if it is a bottle terrarium the water exist it very slowly.

Thank you! I’ve had several terrariums for several years, and they seem to do well. I have only one plant in each, as they grow to fill the glass container, eventually. I have different epecias (sp?) in each, with different colored leaves. They do occasionally bloom. I have found that, I do occasionally need to wipe the algae off the bottom sides of the glass, with a paper towel. I did not know to take the glass lids off occasionally for air. How long would you recommend I leave the lid off? All day? Half a day? An hour? Thanks so much!

Your channel has been very helpful. I'd like to move my Boston ferns to a 20 gal tank, not quite as closed as a terrarium, but similar. They really need more moisture than my condo can provide. I had 4, killed 1. Wish me luck! Two are going in the tank and the last one will stay in it's pot as a control, or something I can propagate from if it all goes wrong lol
