I love how you talk about the substrate being alive! So few people know what micro-organisms live in the dirt around us and the important roles they play in their ecosystems. I truly love how educational you try to be with your channel, I think it's wonderful the way you care for your plants with the same amount of love as you do your animals.

[@SerpaDesign]

Thank you! I do the best I can without it being boring or too over bearing.

I literally went out to the bush behind my house and made a terrarium today because of this video haha. It has a pinecone in it, but not many different mosses because I live in a pretty arid part of Australia

Yeah, I really want some bigger insects in my terrarium though so I’m trying everything I can except touching them or trying to pick them up with tweezers

[@pershop4950]

I know micro-organisms exist but that should be the key word. I shouldn't be able to see them. Seeing springtails around a terrarium that I thought should be insect-free would worry me about if they might get into the house, etc.

[@ericpenrose3649]

Just made one of these with my 16 month old daughter. She wasn't much for designing the terrarium but as for gathering materials she was surprisingly good at picking stuff out once she saw what I was grabbing. I think this may be the first interest we've ever truly shared that she could play a constructive role in. Building terrariums and keeping animals was a strong hobby of mine when I was younger that I fell out due to a demanding career. I would never have guessed that this period of my life would be the one I could pick up an old hobby when my attention is stretched thin between a stressful job and toddler. Instead she was actively interested in figuring out what I was picking up and which jar I was putting things in, and contributed more resources than keeping her out of trouble demanded. It was an amazing afternoon which quite possibly shared a love for the hobby, and the outdoors in general, in a much deeper way than I though she could pick up at this age. While this is absolutely something which would have been some part of her life eventually, this video and your channel are 100% the reason we went out to do it yesterday and made it happen much sooner than it would have otherwise. I just wanted to take the chance that you would read this and that you could know that. You may not be curing cancer or digging wells in impoverished communities in Africa (that I know of), but you are absolutely doing real good in this world, and the passions you are cultivating and nurturing may even save this planet, or even help terraform another!

"Now that you know how to make a terrarium completely free, you have no excuses not to make one other than laziness." I feel so attacked! xDD But seriously I've been observing the plants and mosses in my local park for months, thinking about what I would like for a terrarium but I haven't done it because I don't have all of the supplies yet (fiberglass mesh, activated carbon, container, etc.) but now maybe I just need to go out and make one for cheap like this. I just have a couple of questions... 1. I live in the northwest Pacific temperate rainforest (Vancouver, Canada) and it's still only about 10 - 15° Celsius in the daytime, is there a problem with putting cold plants and materials in a closed terrarium? And, 2. Is it okay to use an open container for this, or is closed the ideal? Love your videos, I get so excited for every Saturday now! Please keep it up. :D

[@SerpaDesign]

Haha! I made it in response to people who have been telling me, "I'm making a terrarium soon" for the past 1.5 years... and still haven't! Also, I definitely think making a cheap one like this is a good starting place. Your climate is very similar to what's happening in the Eastern US right now, so you'll be fine. You're essentially just bringing the plants into summer, in a short amount of time. In most cases they won't mind. I would recommend keeping the container closed, so that it sustains itself.

[@rhiannanthomas1639]

Your natural terrariums inspired me to make my very first! Mine is super simple and I don't know how long it'll last - I just took a sealable jar with me to Central Park and filled it up with dirt, algea, and water from one of the ponds, leaving a little air room at the top. It's been a week and a half, and I've already seen lots of different critters - snails, multiple little swimmy things, and two different kinds of water worms. The snails laid eggs, too! I have no idea how long it'll live, but so far it's been really neat, and totally free if I don't count the jar. :0)

Loved your video, this is one of a no-excuse reason get out there, enjoy the nature at the same time being productive, build your beautiful 0$ terrarium. Very informative 👌👌😍😍

[@zarrir]

Me at 2:00 AM desperate to go outside and start mine right now

[@jco1568]

My dad is military and I think I’m going to make a terrarium for every place I go

[@evanlewis3841]

Been watching most of your vid for a while now and they awesome keep em coming. You have the nak of making a natural look without the " forced" as you put it.

[@con0852]

Just made one with an old jar that was use for coffee and it turned out looking great, thanks man!

[@lexyjay5175]

I've never seen moss growing where I live before. It does in the mountains but that is a huge hassle to get up there.

[@devinjenkins9711]

Dude awesome video, thank you so much! My wife and I have been talking about making our first terrarium but were afraid of spending a bunch of money only to make something bad. This video showed us that we can try it out without the massive expenses, I even have a big Prego jar myself waiting to be finished in the fridge! Time to have some spaghetti and build an ecosystem!

[@InaSonnenmoser]

Greetings from Germany. I can’t wait for the snow to melt so that I can go out and collect. Love your videos. Thanks!!!

[@holliemattox6864]

Love this idea my back yard is a national forest. Going to go on a nice hike an make one this weekend!

[@Eddytor]

I did one ! Im so glad, thanks for giving me the idea and motivation !

[@highvibesonlyat432Hz]

Me too

[@danib6541]

This is really awesome! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to do this with my boys! I love terrariums but it can get expensive buying everything needed. This is wonderful information!

[@davescheer5038]

🌴So this is the video I came looking for before I found your complete history of your journey, dam brother you came a long way 🤣, I’ve got a plastic jar that cheese balls came in and said this would be cool as a terrarium, so I need the knowledge on how and what to use , got all the stuff just need to put it together and see if it grows , the one thing you didn’t tell about is how much sun should it get or how much it shouldn’t get , Moss grows in shaded moist areas 🤔 so I’d like to do some moss and ferns and wood 👊🏼👍🏼

[@Clintscollectiblez]

I'm gonna try this when snow melts cuz I live in perfect area for making one lots of moss and rich soil ect..so nice vid

[@AkPixie]

2:00 a.m. Husband comes downstairs “Why are you awake why is there a circle cut out of the window screen and why are you pouring out the spaghetti sauce” Me: “What?”

[@shreybajaj8516]

bro xD

[@belalabusultan5911]

you live in a different region ? well the thing is, you use water, so weeds will grow near your house and urban areas, pick weeds that are suitable size for the container. you can create dirt even from desert and beach sand, just put sand on strainer and add fresh water to the sand and you will have clay at the bottom, try to remove excess salt by repeating the process few times, then mix clay and sand to make dirt, you might need to add some organic matter to it, so pick some twigs, dry leaves, or even organic leftovers like potato peels, just dry what you add to prevent it from rotting. pebbles and rocks exist in all climates. finally most people have charcoal, adding a small layer of it above the barrier would filter the water, if you have no charcoal tho it can be skipped.

[@skepticGFX]

Thanks a lot man! A video randomly popped up in my recommended about a terrarium in a 600 gallon tank. It looked so cool so I got motivated to make one myself. After watching this video I now know what a terrarium needs.

[@weirdhousewivesclub]

This is surely going to send me down a rabbithole of terrarium care and foraging, but as someone with many jars I just can't part with, your video was well timed into my feed and incredibly in depth!

[@alexxcain11812]

No one can stop me from filling my house with tiny terrariums now muAhahah

[@emmagabe9115]

You can go to a recycle bin for a free jar! :) Thank you, Tanner, I'm learning a lot from your videos!

[@PompomYourkey]

people be like: BUT WE CANT PAY FOR THE SOAP!!! THIS ISNT A FREE TERRARUIM how are you even watching this video??

[@marcusHabs]

One of my fav channels in KZbin. This summer i will hike in country side and collect stuff for mini terrarium👍👍

[@Keeping_It_Real_Fam]

Thank you for the push, I needed it! 🙏 I have now created my first jar terrarium! Kind of hard to find moss in San Antonio but I did lol!

[@skitf_001]

you just got yourself another sub! this is such a underrated channel!!! -maybe working with fungi in your terrariums in the future?

[@gabriellls1145]

Fungi is something you can do in terrariums, and often does pop up in native ones! Unfortunately, it's hard to control though, as some fungi can take over the terrarium and/or introduce mould.

[@allenjones1947]

Very cool. Gotta love eating breakfeast Ang watching tanner the day before a reptile expo

[@SerpaDesign]

Haha thanks Allen! Enjoy the show!

[@andrewmcknight9306]

Let’s be real finance was only a scapegoat for the laziness. And now you’ve gone and taken it away. Great vid

[@SerpaDesign]

Exactly! No more excuses, just action! 😎

[@viviyenvu3620]

Wow...I love your creativity, originality and attention to details...you have a great attitude. 👍👍👍

[@anxmxlie]

Saw your Video yesterday. Made one for myself today. I went to the woods and I gathered the materials! Its so pleasent to have my own now. Its such a nice idea! Thank you! Really appreciated :) I follow you now for more inspiration and because your videos are really pleasent to watch!

[@smirave1204]

This is amazing..Inspired by your work I am gonna get into this..ofcz I'm also obsessed with green..

[@felixmakesart]

This is fantastic! I think I'm gonna go make one right now!

[@kan0shii]

Yay a new video! Get'em Tanner, you make those Terrariums

[@waveexistence3512]

I’m getting ready right now to go out and get some stuff for my first terrarium. I have several glass jars I just bought and I’m going to get some tweezers and a brush before heading out to the park I disc golf at to look for all of this. I’ve been wanting to build one of these for years and this channel just inspired me to the point of actually doing it. This channel is amazing 🔥

[@waveexistence3512]

Oh wow it’s been a year since I wrote this and I just now finished my first terrarium. I wish I could add a pic of it but it’s a lot less cool than this for sure. My wife threw out all of my bigger jars so I was limited on what I was able to use. I had some nice sticks but the jar was too small to use them. All in all it looks pretty decent considering it’s my first terrarium. I’m s 90% covered in moss with some nice long stones running along either side and a piece of bark with some moss on it as the backdrop. I could sit for hours doing this ❤

[@SalemRose503]

Just stumbled across this video. I wanted a betta tank with some neon tetras and maybe a snail but my husband doesn't want a fish tank in the house XD But this could be a great alternative for me! I appreciate this so much! I live in northern Idaho which is beautiful and has a wealth of materials for something like this. I love this area and to be able to bring some of it into my room will be so soothing
