I turned a light bulb into a terrarium...

[@BillieRC]

Not a bad gift at all, it’s cute!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you!

[@zoo04031970]

This is one of the videos ever, truly a of a video. EDIT: I really like the moss shots, Whenever I look at moss I think of a tiny rainforest full of springtails, microbes, Rotifera and tardigrades. Really gives me childhood memories of taking moss and putting them inside small jars, hoping insects were inside.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you so much! And finally someone who likes moss as much as me 😅

@@HomemadeEcosystems MOSS IS AWSOME!!! That's what I said

[@denehardy949]

I must admit I like moss too, but I’ve never been able to grow it. But now I know it’s probably the tap water. That’s why it dies or just won’t grow.

[@darkcrystal4498]

Omg this just absolutely made my day. So freaking funny dude!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Glad you like it !

[@marinavieira6344]

You are super funny and pretty good at terrariums! I ve done this several times and opted for a bigger one ( lightbulb😅) and it worked much better. That's what she said!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

🤣lol, thanks! And yes a bigger one is probably easier to get stuff in

[@minagica]

I have a vague feeling I had such a lightbulb bottle once upon a time (though it of course didn't come with lights, LED strings weren't out yet). I've been keeping our non-frosted incandescent lightbulbs as they burned out and we replaced them with now affordable LEDs in order to one day use them for an upcycling art project of some sort. I now think I'll turn them into terrariums in which I'll have a light string bent to look like Edison filaments. It would ideally be a solar panel light string for the symbolism of the light from the string to be "sunlight". It might then become a wacky art project if I set it up such that the solar panel was blocking the bulbs from the sun but the setup was set to be lit when the panel was receiving sun instead of at night, as a reminder that, without some serious storage (if we ignore heavy metals and rumoured child slave labour), solar panels will never solve our energy need question 😢 Yeah, I think I'll just use a battery or USB string instead 😂

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Sounds like a cool project ! But I indeed think just using a battery powerd ledstring will be easier 😅

[@BakeBakePi]

The final result is so cool! Great video!

[@ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid]

I have a light bulb like this! Thank you for the idea about how to transform it!

[@kristinabaker3271]

I’d love that as a gift

[@pizza654]

I’m thinking of building an ecosystem and this helped me somehow 👍

[@TheNightshadePrince]

If I get ditch electricity in my future home, this would be a perfect use of light bulbs cause I will miss those weird orbs of glass. Btw that plant you pulled out reminds me of rag weed. :)

[@MelonIsMelon]

Love it! Moss is good. This idea is very creative

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you!

[@SakuraBlizzardHime]

Just found you while at work so I hopped on my phone to make sure I subscribed. I had a few questions. Is there a reason why you are using mostly glass containers? And do you think the smaller ecosystems will do okay in a office? Take care.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

It is just because I find more nice glass containers. I have 1 or 2 in harder plastic too. As long as it gets enough natural light it should do fine in an office:)

[@heavenlydi12]

If you ever think about selling a terrarium, Ill buy it!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I sometimes think about starting a website to sell them but I think I need to get better at building them first 😂

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@HelloHSR]

Lol this video is great! I've randomly decided that I want to watch videos about terrariums and here we are. Also at 1:50 you accidentally showed your face in the reflection of the lightbulb, you look great! And yes I'm the kind of person who would notice that and proceed to comment about it.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you! And yes, sometimes it is not easy to film these things without getting a reflection 😅

[@charlesheinle9908]

I regret I have but one updoot to give. Also, NICE!

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you !

[@Churchgrimm]

After watching this video my wife and I have taken to calling anything that's fairly nice "a pretty shitty gift"

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

🤣

[@luissotelo1604]

Dude your so funny keep up the good work

I'll try !

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Thank you!!

[@BillieRC]

How long does it usually take for moss to stick or root back into the soil?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Moss doesn't have roots, they get their water out of the air 😁

[@glassyGREEN_]

I love your commentary :D

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Glad you like it!

[@heavenlydi12]

Ill take the hay lol

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

🤣 It was some kind of dry flower. I think my terrarium looks better than that

[@heavenlydi12]

Lol

Thank you !

[@Youraverageanimalfriend]

CREATIVEEEEE

[@Sayef_Li]

How long before the moss died?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

It is still alive

[@Sayef_Li]

For me the moss does not survive in a terrarium. It will grow on walls perfectly but turn black and die within 2 weeks in a terrarium.

[@PaigeDWinter]

"Just some footage of me, shoving moss through a tiny opening..." Everybody has their kinks.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

🤣

[@Andrew_Sword]

lol great video. hows the light bulb doing 2 months later?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Better than I expected! Going to have to trim the moss soon to keep it "pretty" 😅

[@Andrew_Sword]

@@HomemadeEcosystems thats good. ive been watching all your videos now im going to do the just dirt jar with my kids to see what pops up in a couple weeks

I'm sorry you had to see that

[@Comm3nter0]

I FOUND HIS CACE AT 1:53

[@Liu-Kang-Xi]

This one time I drank some Irish Moss that my Jamaican friend gave me. I think there might be an ecosystem growing inside of me now. Is that normal?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Yep totaly normal

[@lornacy]

There are several comments about face reflections ... Am I the only one who saw what looked like a human face in the moss that was destroyed around three minutes in? (I don't know how to do the time stamp and can't be bothered to learn.) It was really disturbing - I know this is true because I looked at it over and over again.

[@oZink-]

can i have the hay pls

[@Jay_Perrotta]

Such dry humor. 😂

[@zooble_games]

4:10 you accidentally did a face reveal lol in the reflection
