How To Make An Ecosphere That Stays Alive

We're showing you how to make a successful ecosphere. Making a closed ecosystem can be so much fun to watch grow and develop. If you make one, we would love to see it. You can reach out to us on instagram @Jar_Planet.

It’s so cool seeing all of the jars you’ve made so far!

[@jarplanet]

I agree! It’s been lots of fun!

[@kyawmin5079]

It so cool to see living thing in a jar

[@jarplanet]

I definitely agree!!

[@drapoorv]

Loved your ecospheres ,nice alternative environments separate from real environments, I have some ecospheres but few of them have gone opaque

[@jarplanet]

Thank you! They are really cool to watch develop over time. What do you think made your opaque?

[@pouleetco7988]

😍😍😍

[@TJBADGER19]

im trying to create my own eco jar and I have a question. do I have to use led lights or can I just use natural sunlight by my window. if I do use sunlight does that impact the plant growth?

[@Yunalyptus]

This is cool!

[@astrovation3281]

Awesome, i'm thinking of starting a ecosphere, do you think I'll be successful with a sea/salt water one?

[@jarplanet]

Definitely! I made a salt water ecosphere about a month ago and it is still going strong. Try and find some kind of live sea weed.

@@jarplanet Awesome, thanks for that info 👍

[@RanDak93]

Do you cycle the light for a number of hours to replicate a day night cycle? Also the led is good enough for the plant life? Thank you!

[@jarplanet]

Yes and yes. How ever long the sun shines at the place you made it, replicate that. I use an aquarium led light. Anything full spectrum will do great.

[@thejeewee1910]

how much air should you leave in the jar?

[@jarplanet]

A few inches should be enough. During the day, plants produce oxygen but at night, they consume it. You want enough space for air so the plants won’t consume all the oxygen and suffocate the rest of the ecosystem.
