How to Plant a Terrarium - Ep 125

[@donnamari4259]

I love that you get straight to the point and you don't do the KZbinr intro babble 💚 such a informative Chanel

[@samoi1616]

I like how this is just soil nothing fancy

[@Wilysfoliage]

thank you for showing the updated after 2 months

[@summerrayneoakes]

My pleasure! Much more inspirational fully grown out haha.

[@cupcakekitten1888]

I love terriums. The growth on it after 2 months is incredibly.

[@twistysunshine]

That pilea was looking extravagant!

[@lindanehls8115]

I always put a sub layer in of gravel. Fill that with water, put a tight screen over it and add soil and plants. Cover.

[@summerrayneoakes]

I like the screen idea too. I did that for another terrarium ... I think if this were a bit taller, I may have added some faux drainage layer. But as we saw in the 2 months later, the roots really utilized all that potting medium space.

[@ruthp4277]

That was very useful and so well produced. Yes, I have a terrarium that I just planted about six months ago and I wish I had seen this first. I added a bit too much sub-strate so it looks a bit like a geology diarama with all the layers. The plants are growing great and feature a "baby" from my 40 year old (yes, 40) spider plant. Plants for LIFE!!

[@jamtea388]

I really appreciate the exact scientific names included on the screen. I'm just learning about house plants and terrariums and it's nice to get a handle of the names.

[@alohaleslie9407]

Aloha Summer Rayne! LOL When I first saw all your terrarium tools, it looked like a surgical site! You are always so organized and well-prepared. :)

[@theoroosen3403]

I watched this video purely to make my own terrarium and i got a free asmr-session included😁

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

I love a good terrarium, and this has so many good ideas, good information on the kinds of plants and then the update on the terrarium's growth. Now I just need to find the perfect size and shape container and get started on my own unique terrarium. Thank you once again Summer, so much valuable information, and good care tips once it's planted up.

[@MatthewsLivingAdventures]

I just barely created my first Terrrarium with the most exotic plants i have ever seen or planted before. Im using an air plant on one side sitting on a clump of pebbles, and another small plant that will grow lots and fill up the other side. its a small terrarium, and it looks very beautiful!

[@barbll000]

I haven't done a terrarium yet. My mother made one back in the 1970s when they were popular. She had a monstera too.

[@PlantHoardersAnonymousPH]

Thank you for this! I was just obsessing on how to make one cos i received a hand-me-down glass aquarium yesterday that I plan to turn into a terrarium 😁 love the growth update towards the end, very encouraging haha

[@summerrayneoakes]

It was very encouraging. But those NE windows of mine have that magic light! Good luck on planting your aquarium into something beautiful!

[@cooperolm9687]

Check out serpadesign, he is a real expert at it and will show you how to make beautiful ones that can last long term.

[@PlantHoardersAnonymousPH]

Cooper Olm hah! i’ve been binging on his vids the past couple of days so much goooaaalzzz! Thanks Cooper! 💚

[@Eneri-neme]

Is lovely. I must say that I knew, from de moment you were planting, that the pilea would take over! It is a very enthusiastic grower, after all. But it looks pretty cute, I'll see how mine turns out.

[@petercardona1559]

Thanks for the absolutely lovely update at the end! The pilea you planted is pilea micropyhlla aka artillery plant or as I call it "the most fussy invasive plant ever"😂 They're really cool because of the way the plant shoots out pollen like a cannon hence the name "artillery". They can be hit or miss on taking sometimes. I needed to know how it all played out! 😁👍

[@summerrayneoakes]

Glad this one was a hit! And thanks for sharing further ID.

[@jerryb.2611]

A while back I went to a local park and made a "native tarrarium" with all of the materials coming from that park such as pebbles, moss, grass, and a small fern on tree bark. Only thing is it all ended up dying but it was super cute while I had it because there were so many cute little bugs in there. I am now going to redo it, like in the video with some real plants that will stay alive. Thank you for this vid it was very helpful. :)

[@stephanierobbins8769]

Lovely vid that helps people make turrium

[@Alypinkflower]

I love terrarium..my fav is ficus oak. My purple wandering Jew which I had shared many cuttings with my friends and family had exploded out of the vase 3x.

[@harleylou7886]

In awe at how many plants she has in her kitchen. Beautiful

[@jcmendezify]

Crazy how it grew in just two months!

[@judithlenzin7444]

Amazing! I will definitely try this with a glass globe I bought a long time ago. Of course, the watering is mysterious, but you give us a pretty good idea about how to do it in this video. Summer, again, a great lesson!!!

[@OmnivorousReader]

Very helpful video; I watched this as I just got given a glass globe. My first terrarium attempt is about to begin.

[@groundfleur8774]

Drinking game: drink everytime Summer says "quite nice" 🤣 love you Summer!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Or "particular" haha

[@shiningstar1869]

That is a cute little tool set😊I've been purchasing a lot of Espoma products from watching you. And my plants are growing so beautiful! Some are turning into trees😁😁😁🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿

[@zetagundamzz]

I just made my first terrarium last week! It's a tall narrow one with a round opening in the front. I've got a pink fittonia, a little fern, and a mystery plant spilling out of the opening. I also covered the soil with some moss so it reminds me of a forest floor.

[@elsaortiz7589]

What a wonderful things. Going hunting for o glass container like that. Looks bautiful. Thanks. I love the top you are wearing

[@ashleylatheef]

Thank u for sharing this .Two months growth is marvellous. I will also do one terrarium. Bye..

[@juliavazquez5222]

This gave me ASMR!

[@kimwyatt9932]

I'm glad I found this

[@k700i]

Omg omg 😍😍😍😍😍 I love it! That 2 months worth of growth I’m so inspired to do something similar 💖 thank you Summer

[@patc107]

Terrariums can be fun but also a challenge. Fungus gnats love them since the soil stay moist and the humidity its great. That's my challenge now.

[@alang13]

I just bought a 10 gal. and 20 gal. aquarium from Petco to use as terrariums. Now to fill them with my humidity-loving divas like Maidenhair ferns (just found an unusual variety called 'Silver Dollar'), Ficus pumila, and certain finicky Peperomias and Calatheas.

[@dn7096_]

I’d love to see your aquarium!

[@xo1387]

This video made me to make a terrarium 😁

[@lea856]

Lately I been thinking about a terrarium and watched a few videos on it. I do remember when I was in highschool one of my friend's grandparents had a terrarium in a big glass 5 gallon bottle like those used for office coolers. It was side ways and i remember tripping out on it and wondering how they put plants in it. It must of been custom to look like that or something. However, even back than I wanted it and I remember my friend saying I could take it lol. Never did, but gonna try n make my own now 😀

[@mysticshining]

So funny :) Inspired by you I just made my first terrarium last night! and now you just gave me inspiration for my next one :D I love the idea of some tall ones growing up and out of the terrarium ;) Thanks Summer.

[@billyhemingway73]

This is a good video for me ive been thinking about making a jewel orchid terrarium for awhile

[@summerrayneoakes]

They do well in terrariums!

[@aida087]

@@summerrayneoakes Oh great to know since I love jewel orchids!! Will Phalaenopsis Orchids do well in closed as well as open terrariums?💖

[@lashawnataylor9658]

This by far, is my favorite video and I love all your videos. I have that exact same jar and will be trying to make a terrarium ASAP.

[@petersalt]

going to try this today!

[@Oliver-ni8kr]

I have been wanting to make a terrarium for so long but I’m busy with school. Holidays perhaps hehe

[@lisamz]

I would love to learn about your jewel orchid tray and how that was put together. It’s a unique display and jewel orchids are such fascinating plants.

[@matthewcooper26]

Thanks for the video, I learn something new from every video you upload! Ps- I would love to see you collaborate with Tanner from Serpadesign, and bring all of your subscribers along for the ride!

[@terrariumlenhart5860]

Grand job, it is lovely.

[@sarahchoi2039]

Please do a care video on the cute pilea michrophylla! Just found a variegated one and it’s dropping leaves like crazy!

[@debracancelliere4081]

Love this but something I don’t understand. You made a very well draining soil but what does it matter if, ultimately, it’s in a glass container with no hole at the bottom and no place for water to drain? Or is the idea to help evaporation out the top if the medium isn’t holding on to the water? Sorry if this is a confusing question.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Not a confusing question at all. You wouldn't want the pores of the soil to be so non-aerated that when you watered, it would fill up all the spaces between aggregates where the oxygen would be. Also, because I'm using a peatier mix, I would want to add a bit more aeration. Peat, when it dries, it is hard to rewet and then water rushes right off, not getting to the roots. So there is always that balance in closed systems (or more closed systems like this), where you want to still have aerated soil so the pores aren't fill up and no oxygen in the soil. Hopefully I explained that adequately.

[@debracancelliere4081]

Summer Rayne Oakes Great explanation. Thank you.

[@hannahsweda3270]

I love your terrarium video as I love a lot of your other videos. But I am making terrarium of my own and would love to see more videos about making terrariums with houseplants. Thank you

[@taniarobson7628]

Pretty but I don't care for the look of the perlite in the soil. Is there something else you could use or leave it out?

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!🌿🍀🌱☘️

Super cute! 💜

[@bringlifeindoors2370]

Thank you Summer, that was awesome. I am gonna try do two terrariums for myself, one for fittonia and the other one for English ivy, and see how it goes using ❤

[@maricarxerez-burgos3732]

How do you make sure the roots don’t rot? I live in the Philippines . How often do we water? Do we need to add fertilizer?

[@gregoryrunningelk865]

Summer can you tell me were you got the jar from?

[@TheMerdog]

Hi Summer! Would you say terrariums are better off next to a north east facing window or a south west? Thanks!

[@ej_buendia]

So are you gonna keep them growing or repot them and start a new one? This is wonderful. I’m gonna try doing my own!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

What if you put a hole with in the vessel and use a wicking system?

[@fitnessandfoodwithavi]

Can we plant the plants directly into the ceramic pots? Please tell me

[@mikesbigtank6015]

I was looking forward to a terrarium video but was hoping for a sealed one, I have two 6 gallon glass water jugs with tiny openings I want to turn into long term sealed terrariums and would like to know what type of plants could go in them especially miniature plants. Love all the videos keep them coming.

Does it work in airconditioned room?

[@msfoliage]

Thank you for another inspiring video! 😍👍 Just wanna ask, can i use pumice instead of perlite?

[@summerrayneoakes]

Sure! I think some pumice bits may be too big for some plant roots, so I think it'll depend on your plant.

[@rachelbaker6904]

In the beginning you mentioned a monstera Cebu blue, I thought that was a pothos?

[@summerrayneoakes]

No, it was a Monstera...just one leaf. The Potted Elephant sent it to me.

[@ayleighkay]

I was confused when I heard Monstera cebu blue also! So there's both a Pothos and Monstera??

[@ayleighkay]

Okay, so I did some research and found this: "Monstera siltepecana is sometimes mistakenly confused with Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue', but can easily be correctly identified by the hard ridge that runs along the stem of the ‘Cebu Blue’. Monstera stems are smooth."
