Mini Flowing Moss Waterfalls in a Jungle Cloche Terrarium

[@SerpaDesign]

I've been working on this one for a few weeks now, but it's been in concept for much longer than that. I'm always trying to find new ways to do stuff like this and I personally think this is one of my best ones yet. What do you think? I just love the combination of the Pagoda Stone with moss an flowing water. Anyway, I had so much fun making this one and I hope you all enjoy the video. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

[@mrpickles2170]

\m/ X_x \m/ Nailed it!

[@dshobe720]

I use polyester yarn to make areas on branches wet. Just stick one end in the upper reservoir and it will wick the water through capillary action. Use polyester felt cut into strips for more flow. It never clogs you can use whatever color you want to hide it better the mosses rhizoids attatch to it and it doesn't rot.

[@italiansunrunner]

Beautiful work!

[@beverlyjensen443]

I love it. I used to love making little habitats for fish, turtles and lizzards. Of course, nothing like you do, but far more than many did 60y ago!

[@mollymason46]

What kind of cutting knives do you use to cut through the expanded pvc. Also what is the thickness of the pvc sheet? 1/8” or 1/4”. I like the packaging knife because it looks sturdy and I don’t want to cut myself. 💛✌🏻

[@SamanthaPuchlerz]

I'm going to be honest- I've been avoiding your videos for awhile now. It's nothing you did; I have pretty severe chronic depression and I was really getting into building my own terrariums, but then finances and life took a toll and I had to put my hobby down. It's been really tough, and watching your videos made me want to do so much that I couldn't do. With that said, today is dark and dreary and I needed something verdant and beautiful to enjoy, and I decided to watch this video. You never disappoint, Tanner. This is brilliant, beautiful work, and I'm glad I'm coming back to the channel now. :)

[@thijmenachten9231]

Hope ur doing better now

[@ceciliafaust4894]

Hang in there I feel you man 🫡

[@Willywmp3]

I hope you’re doing better! I just made a terrarium for very cheap. It was 4 dollars (USD) for the container, 3 dollars for the substrate, and 7 dollars for the sphagnum moss. Unfortunately I can’t afford to put any other plants in it, but I think it goes to show that you can definitely achieve something special with very little.

[@qWenzou]

Oh, I hope your feeling better now. I can relate to not having motivation to do your hobbies..

[@O0000-i5q]

You’re not alone in this, remember that ❤️

[@opengreen6022]

I love how he makes every terrarium look alive like a slice straight out of nature

[@person893]

Hi Tanner! I've been watching for years, and I even got my son into your videos. He told me to fill your comments with hearts for this one! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mahhkz]

You are an artist who paints with creations directly from God, on canvases so complex most artists wouldn’t even know how to unfold the easel.

[@ryanchoong4714]

This is so beautiful, I loved the cascading effect of the waterfall over the stones.

[@jasonpatel9969]

Ever since I first learned about aquascaping, one of my dreams has been to mimic the fjaðrárgljúfur canyon, the Fimmvörðuháls trail, and the mossy lava fields of Iceland. I still haven’t done it, but I’m always trying to find someone on the wide web who has. I think you absolutely nailed it in this Jungle Cloche and the Mossy Book Nook, even if you didn’t realize it.

[@chiquitacyborg]

Don’t forget the trolls hiding in the lava fields😉 I hope that you use lava rock to match the landscape

[@november8039]

Those are the most Icelandic sounding places I've ever heard of!

[@calnative4904]

Very nice, I would find myself stopping and staring at it every time I walked by.

[@parmerapps69]

The hardscape on this steup has got to be one of my favorites! When paired with the moss, this cloche becomes three-dimensional. The new space must be powering your creative juices, Tanner. . . 😅

[@TheSeptemberRose]

You Sir, are the Master of Moss!

[@sal-1337]

you never disappoint, bob moss

[@isaacfortner]

This turned out great! For these more intricate terrariums, have you considered 3D printing the waterfall/drip frame? You could print the overflow and drip plumbing integral to the structure itself, and even parts like the pump area mesh could be printed in place. It doesn’t make sense for your large builds, but might be worth a try for these small jar builds.

[@LuckAqua]

Good idea but 3D printing could be actually hard when we have to design the model before printing.

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

Definitely a favourite!

[@chrisreilly1290]

I liked how you actually went through the trouble of showing us any the outer perimeter container would be bad with the condensation, instead of just saying it's bad

[@glassyGREEN_]

This is once again an amazing terrarium. You can see that there is always an incredible amount of thought behind your builds. I also like your new background in your new animal room 😊

[@LuckAqua]

Yeah. He thought about everything. What a perfect setup for a mini-terraium.

[@cloverhighfive]

The new space is already serving you well. There's joy coming through, but a joy that feels like it's finally home, if that makes any sense. Beautiful terrarium, it's both vibrant and cozy.

[@Lastman737]

Definitely gotta trust the process. It didn't look like it was going to be eloquent and beautiful at one point but it ended up that way

[@bludeetu321]

Really lovely. I love the way it looks like a miniature world. In your close ups you can just imagine a deer emerging around the rock face for a drink. 🦌

[@LitKAW303]

Can’t wait too see in a few months.

[@Trevorfoggia]

Yet another Tanner classic piece of living art. Brilliant. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K. Stay safe and well everyone.

[@heyyimaura1966]

the moss is perfect :)

[@mntryjoseph1961]

Wow! I think this is my absolute favorite!

[@mntryjoseph1961]

How do I send a direct message?

[@BadlydrawnBen]

Just amazing

[@CheeseBon]

I would love to see this in 6 months time please :) Great vids, keep it up

[@willclark491]

This is Fantastic! It's nothing I couldn't (eventually) manage technically, but your design sense is what I don't have. It's beautiful.

[@michaelmelo8075]

Great Job Tanner !!! Can't wait to see it grow in.

[@KentAJDK]

It is as allways awesome. ❤

[@LongsGreenhouse]

That one is amazing and just inspired me

[@alpoh]

NGL you had me there in the beginning. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, and that's saying something because I've watched you for years and you always pull it off. But like always, you turned it around and made a work of art. Beautiful work, you're so smart sometimes it hurts my head!

[@BREAKERisDEAD]

This is one of my favorite things you've ever made. Its so subtle yet satisfying and pleasing to look at.

[@karenlee3198]

I love the creative problem solving process behind each challenge and how engineering meets design.

[@woodfield9584]

This is very beautiful

[@coco805]

Ooho wow I really love this!! You make it look so effortless and easy. Can you show us a bit more of the fitting process that you do in these builds, I can guess that you must have tested that dome top a million times to get everything to fit without touching the sides. It's like magic how you pulled it off.

[@MsLeenite]

Moss and water, stone and wood and gleaming glass ... plus ingenuity and a touch of Serpa Magic. Beautiful!

[@BlueJayTGaming]

I must say, I really love your channel and everything you've been doing! I've been looking for more inspiration for my own plant setups, and I haven't found any other channel that's quite like yours. They're very informative, but most importantly, they're so focused on the piece as an artistic project which is by far the best part! It's less like a tutorial, and more like you sharing with us a glimpse into your artistic project and I really appreciate that. Really looking forward to see what you do with your new place, awesome stuff!

[@LuckAqua]

Hello. Could you love my channel too?

[@ghomerhust]

this one might just be my favorite small tank that youve done. the flow is entertaining but it's not so active as to detract from the calming effect of moss-based tanks. very balanced, as all things should be

[@fishypetkeeping]

This is probably one of my favourite works by you. You never fail to amaze me with your living artworks!

[@Jake_landis]

I love it it looks so natural. Some day I want to be like you and build terrariums.

[@andrewwang8903]

once again making me love nature

[@RobScuremusic]

I love this. It actually brought meback to the early days of your channel when you did quite a lot of these type of smaller projects.

[@randihardy6642]

Its so pretty!

[@laughinglighting4343]

super fun video!

[@vettethewarlock5448]

Moss is the new flex tape, it solves any problem

[@londoeblack]

Two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!

[@smokeandkippers]

Brilliant.

[@aquamoment]

Thnx! Many ideas are flowing through my mind right now 😍😍

[@WimVeen]

This one is really beautiful. You always explain everything so nicely. Thanks for sharing.

[@rustysmommy50]

Very nice sir!! Thank You!

[@KamiInValhalla]

Great video. Thanks

[@moldy13]

love it. you go mad skillz, man.

[@nancycornett9949]

Gorgeous!

[@R3cheens]

Sangat bagus dan seperti alami, ide yang indah

[@tomastomas11]

Best mini water fall yet. I like that you only did one branch with the airline tubing becuase it splits up the textures. If you put it on all of the branches then they would all have to be covered in java moss. I think the variety in textures is a good natural balance.

[@SerpaDesign]

Valid point, I can rock with that!

[@reefstaskiewicz1225]

i think you should do a full tutorial explainig how to make it. with all the little details too. it sometimes ges confusing! although love the peice

[@naegwut]

Really cool

[@kiernanscanlon8965]

I love these mini waterfall builds you've done. Of all your builds, they're the ones that I always think "wow, I wouldn't mind purchasing that." knowing full well it would be costly with all that labor! They're just such perfect lil slices of nature.

[@jillbeans1573]

This is perhaps my favorite build. Love it.

[@altra6889]

Amazing design. Just looking at it made me feel calm and relaxed.

[@codylyon5639]

Absolutely love this one ,the flow of the water is beautiful 👍🏻

[@moetthepoet]

this is my favourite build you have made in a few years.

[@Paul-li9hq]

Exceptional work. Every time I think you've hit a top level of excellence... You then produce something even better.

[@orztirr1417]

After all night in the hospital with family I'm going to enjoy relaxing to this.

[@jmarshal]

Love it. I love the look of a cloche and a terrarium inside is already gorgeous, but adding an actual running water feature? Incredible.

[@hexdiagonal6450]

I just love your videos, do a "grow moss in the winter" video

[@SeptFaucons]

This is Museum level work, sir. I expect future generations will read about you in their design classes.

[@costasrodopoulos8788]

Really cool one and the small size is challenging. I am after doing something similiar but still havent found the proper glass container

[@horsense2]

It’s beautiful. I could spend a long time just watching it. Actually, that’s a thought. Maybe you could have a playlist of just video of waterscapes you’ve done to be played for asthetics.

[@Time-travel-1880]

only found your channel yesterday and must thank you for the inspiration to get back into doing this, I'm going the whole hog in 2024 giving up my current employment and getting Creative with Terrariums as a living

[@corylcreates]

I love your mini/tabletop waterfall builds. They're the builds I gravitate to and want to try making on my own.

[@heathergarrison8189]

I really need to thank you for these videos! You inspired me to work on my first build, and I chose a bunch of really bad choices for what I wanted. But I’m still determined that it’s what I want. Coming back to these videos has given me a ton of confidence and more inspiration for how to get around my issues. It’s very rare that I become so excited about a project. I can’t wait to use some of these techniques to get it finished!!!

[@Life_Republic]

Peace from 🇰🇪😉. Good work

[@Azooscott]

I've had good success bending rigid tubing by filling it with salt. It helps keep the tubing fron collapsing, and you can make pretty much any shape you want. Just rinse the salt out when you're done!

[@SerpaDesign]

I usually use sand as you do salt, but didn't feel like digging it up out of the garage 😅

[@ryanbachmann4844]

It's gonna be a good day

[@mikejurnak0324]

Hope you have a great day 👍🏻

[@ryanbachmann4844]

And you kind sir !

[@iridius7696]

Awesome as always!

[@nobodytrz103]

great stuff

[@billymacaraeg7761]

the build is awesome 😎😎, I love the bell shaped container and the structure of the rocks and branches just complements with the movement of the waterfall really well, and in the end, it's a pretty sight to see everytime 😊😊

[@dennisfeldmann7399]

Another Awesome video Tanner. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@20mancave08]

Your builds are awesome. I really love the waterfalls.

[@SeraphinusFox]

I absolutely love the music in between your voice overs. It reminds me of the catchy “How It’s Made” music soundtrack

[@dayddestroyer]

this is so cool

[@joshuaherrick2667]

He just explains everything he does so well it seems simple I love that

[@anabanananaa]

You know what interest’s me is that life in a closed terrarium can evolve like how the earth evolved with the atmosphere as the glass

[@Лилияхан-п5б]

very good!

[@moonbasket]

This is so cool. I hope you keep this one around, so we can see how it develops. I'd be interested to see how the cloche holds up over time, since it's such a different enclosure than your usual terrarium.

[@maureenk-farmhousecharms903]

What a beautiful piece that anyone could enjoy! Love it!

[@OfficialBloodrunner]

This is def my favorite waterfall you have made.

[@sqlx7]

So good

[@a-aron1550]

very cool

[@marielevine5624]

I haven’t disliked anything I’ve seen you create. Keep teaching us more!!

[@kimwynn8218]

Just beautiful. I love the waterfall.

[@tabathatammaro9187]

Your tips and tricks are as always invaluable. Thank you for always sharing your great work. P. S. I Love the spiral staircase in your new home.

[@eriathwen1320]

Beautiful! Loving the new recording space as well 😄

[@judymckerrow6720]

Excellent ! 🎄🎄💚🙃

[@nittygritty7034]

Beautiful as always. I loved the little like, pillow of moss in the bottom. It looks soft.

[@TrackMasta99]

Looks great

[@sarahwatts7152]

This is a top tier cascade, love it

[@MoxOwl]

Great video.....thats for the information

[@luciekleen3240]

Absolutely stunning.

[@ryanbachmann4844]

Whoaaaaa so sick !!!

[@starrwilson6818]

It’s beautiful.💜🙏🏽
