Building a Terrarium From The Forest Floor - Native Terrarium Tutorial

In this video I’ll be using materials I found in the forest to create a beautiful native terrarium ecosystem! Collecting your own materials is a great budget & beginner friendly way of getting into terrarium making. This relaxing tutorial will take you through the step by step process of creating your own mini ecosystem!
When collecting materials from nature make sure you have the landowner permission & more importantly be responsible. Remember, we are trying to re-create nature, not destroy it:)

As the substrate was straight from the forest floor it’ll be full with microfauna such as springtails & other small bugs! They will help keep the terrarium healthy & almost maintenance free! Hope you enjoy this more relaxing video:)

UR SO TALENTED

[@marlitarios4270]

Also thanks to you i know more types of moss

[@user-xl2ir1nv9t]

Cheers Mate Which or what types of leaves or natural materials for substrate would be toxic to micro fauna. I know wormwood is and pine to some. Just wondering if you know or list a bit of advice. It would be great to see so info on this 👍

[@kavindudilshan7108]

Plz build a paludarium

[@jrbm670]

Ur amazing

[@sparklelikeaghost]

can you make a video about the maintenance required for a typical beginner terrarium? or just text works :D

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Sounds like a good video idea😃

[@bobphillips5617]

Agreed. I feel like this will get moldy if not properly taken care of. I would like to know how to prevent that

[@Tizer25911]

There's literally NO maintenance but feel free to do more research. @sparklelikeaghost

[@adonscadlock1704]

So far my maintenance is ignoring the maintenance and it's doing fine lol

[@claydillard6811]

Spring tails prevent mold

[@ThatWatermelonDino]

I rarely have the patience to watch longish videos but this just mesmerised me and I love making tarreriams myself and this channel helps a lot 😊

[@johnr.7374]

This video is 6 minutes!! What do you mean long?! lol

[@Flt.Hawkeye]

Amazing build. Even if i really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere i certainly would like to her you comment some of your steps just to get what you thought while doing it.

[@Woodendeodorant]

Dude this inspired me to want to do this. Nice!

[@agirlwithabrother858]

[@user-ds3tc7sf6e]

[@virusgem6281]

Lovely little build!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

[@macnosmutano4849]

Just bought your ebook. It's a really good guide. Thanks.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you’ve found it useful:)

[@duckilama832]

I truly envy you living somewhere you can go walkies and find moss and ferns just growing all around. My live oaks and pecans have some lichens, but I’ve never seen moss in the wild 😂

[@HUN_BSDani]

[@Flt.Hawkeye]

Wow, much english great grammar. Please learn to write buddy.

[@OweeennnnLG]

Hey, I really like your content and I think i'm ready to build my first terrarium. It Will certainly keep me busy as I can't have a snake yet.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad to hear it😃

[@SirChecken]

So cool :O

[@user-ds3tc7sf6e]

I appreciate your wonderful work every day. It is the best work. I want to buy your e-book, but I wonder if it can be translated into Korean. Thank you for your reply. thank you

[@flaxgamer9346]

If I use substrate from the forest like you did, will it help to also put springtails in my terrarium or is it unnecessary? Great video! It got me into terrariums and I am about to create my first one 😀

[@richardsmith718]

How do you treat your driftwood spider wood before putting it in a terrarium to avoid green mold growing I had spring tails and isopods but my spider wood still got green mold

[@Condor3000]

Could I use like say aquarium castles and stuff like that to add decor to the terrarium?

[@pogpogqwerty9950]

Wow im glad i stumble with your channel. I love terrariums. But can't make a successful one 😂😂. I tried and tried but still fails.😂😂😂

[@elcrepers]

Hello there! I'm looking to buy your ebook about terrariums, but I need to know if it contains information about paludariums. Does it?

[@vedantcarx]

Hey dude 👋, did you have any aquarium??? Btw... I love your videos 😍

[@ronaldmartin2686]

Hi im considering to building my very own 1st terrarium with a jesus statue but im currently out of ideas it will be very helpful if you could create a terrarium with a statue in it hoping for a video from you....❤ From Malaysia

[@tommasomontuori]

how many times a week do you water the terrariums?

[@Roman_Terrariums]

can you make a video on a salamander paludarium?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That would be cool!

[@carltonbirds]

Really nice 👍, btw where did you get the glass jar from?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! I got it from IKEA:)

[@carltonbirds]

@@TerrariumDesigns ok thanks.

[@MrKrakengaming]

I got the same jar on Amazon

[@carltonbirds]

@@MrKrakengaming thanks, even better 👍

[@poweez700]

Where do you buy your glass tank for your terrarium ? Btw love the vids ❤🎉

[@Punki80]

I´ve got pretty much the same glass vessel on my table right in front of me right now, that was from IKEA years ago, actually to store sweets or something in it.

[@Chencho7613]

Idk if you've done it before, but I think it'd be a good challenge for you to build an "ecosystem" inside of a glass bottle!

[@mousamgurung1994]

How often do you spray water in that terrarium?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I won’t be spraying it too often at all, twice a year should do the trick:)

[@marlitarios4270]

SECOND!

[@HappyPlants123]

Make a bioactive ecosystem inside of a Petsmart spray bottle❤

[@leihaodabendemeerss9115]

Hi

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Hi!

[@MrKrakengaming]

Can you make a terrarium with a polkadot plant

[@user-wz5ti7sq9j]

I tried to make a similar one, but I immediately got mold on the leaves and wood(

[@qiaomuzheng5800]

Molding phase is normal, and adding more microfauna like springtails will solve this problem :)

[@lanzvielko6572]

I am challenging you! Please recreate Shrek's swamp and house 🙏🤙
