Making an Orchid Terrarium in a Jar!

[@kadri7732]

There are over 580 species of moss where I live - I could go outside right now and pick as much as I'd like. But seeing you so happy about your little moss collection always make me so happy as well. Like YAY MOSS!

[@Deloura]

Lucky! I wish I could do that but I live in a desert with extreme heat.

[@peggymcclard7519]

This is the first of your videos I've watched that I want to thank you for the clarity in your presentation. I learned something new today. Thanks!

[@danieladeutsch1708]

Great video! Dear Danny, how often do you ventilate an orchid terrarium? Thank you. XX

[@kerrymcallistee3418]

Your tips are very helpful in planting the terrariums. They are so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

[@Andrea-pd1bg]

Hi Danny, this series of videos about terrarium-like growing conditions is really useful. I have experimented with them for the last year and it is very interesting to see how you go about it! thanks! :-)

[@AkiraChan24]

I love how magical terrariums look, so I definitely want to try one of these. Anything to make my space look like a forest ^^

[@aayesha2527]

Best videos ever! My orchids are growing beautifully because of you

[@kimberlyd317]

Wow I love that you are doing the terrariums!

[@MissyR2538]

Your lil terrariums turned out really cute. I pray the lil guys bounce back quickly for you. Have a good night, Danny!😇

[@alisav8394]

Love it! I really enjoyed each terrarium you made. I hope those orchids bounce back.

[@lucun_]

Really love how you arranged the jar! I have a hybrid that unexpectedly needs a lot more humidity than I can provide, so definitely going to give this a try to hopefully turn things north with it!

[@valariecarey2716]

Hello Danny, your videos has inspired me in returning to my love of orchids and plants.. I am setting up this terrarium with a Masdevallias orchid as the center piece. Will share some pictures, success and failures (hopefully not). I'm in the US in Georgia and the climate is every changing in a day here, so we'll see. Thank You again!!

[@baltschoolofdance]

Love this one! I have several diy jar terrariums and my jewel orchids love them. I have other orchid in tall jar terrariums where I keep the lids off to give them some ventilation but protect them from drafts caused by air conditioning and so far so good!

[@shirleyholt898]

I really enjoyed this video. I will try this because I have several orchids that love high humidity. Thanks for sharing.🤗🥀

[@lisaboston2465]

Hello Danni 🙂 I wish I knew just half of the things you do about orchids and other plants. It seems that I struggle just to keep my 2 phals living. I’ve definitely learned a lot from you so thank you. Your videos are my go to’s when I have orchid questions. I just adore this orchid terrarium!

[@chemenginecat3940]

[@jessicadanielson4543]

Lepenthes orchids should do quite well in there, they grow great with dart frogs,lots of humidity, you do a beautiful job with all of your plants and you're totally right about trial and error, hopefully we catch the error in time😉 lol,thank you for sharing

[@hojabotanica]

Hi Danny, I did 2 close terrariums 3 and 1 month ago. One with only jewel orchids (the 3 month old one) and it's doing great (I open it every couple of weeks just for a couple of minutes to check it and so far so good although 1 orchid is getting a little bit of brown spots and i think it's due to its direct contact with the condensed water on the glass). The other one I did it with also jewel orchids and a Erycina pusilla and well that one died in 2 days :(... Although the jewel but the jewel orchids are still ok. I would like to see a month update for your terrarium and how often you ventilate it, I think the first month is the trickiest one.... I wish you the best with your project, I love it and that moss looks amazing! Keep us updated please

[@billymacaraeg7761]

I'll definitely try this method on jewel orchids😍 thanks for the tips. By the way, if I where you, I would remove the top part of the bio orb and put a cap on to conserve more water and put limit ventilation so that water could circulate around the orb. Just like a huge fish bowl 😂 that's my opinion atleast, just saying hahaha, but definitely a great idea, will try it in the future

[@BorisGen]

Great video!

[@josephrapp7211]

Gives me the urge to do one.Thank you for teaching. BTW..do you think a Paph. Hermanii would work?

[@christineflygirl]

love this!

[@Rockdoc2174]

I have three Restrepias is an old aquarium, sealed with clingfilm. I haven't tried to landscape it, just putting aquarium gravel on the bottom that I cover with water. The plants are in pots on saucers - to isolate them from the wet gravel - and have done very well for me. They've all flowered, one has produced a keiki and the other two have produced new growths. Although they are classed as cool growing I'm sure the internal temperature can be higher than is usually recommended but they're thriving. The tank is on a windowsill and the maximum room temperature is around 24C. It would seem that a high humidity is much more important than temperature.

[@monsteramoon1]

Hi Danny, can I ask - why do you add springtails to your terrariums? Love your videos 💚

[@easyteh4getperson]

springtails eat all the dead matter so it keeps your terrarium happy

[@monsteramoon1]

@@ROMANS.12.2-USA I'd prefer if you didn't post criticising stuff under my comment please, I don't mind if she doesn't answer 😊

[@arie_rogers87]

I love your set up terrarium also I love your videos. I have a rehab phal. Would having that one in an enclosure help it grow better? Half of its roots are dead and I just want it to get better lol

[@maureensoumokil1856]

Do you feed your springtails in the little terrarium?

[@shellb3301]

How are these orchids doing in this jar? I don't have any spring tails and just put a macodes petola in a jar and stressing in case it gets mouldy and rots😬 soooo hoping it will be ok!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

So far so good actually, only been a few weeks 😁

[@user-dk5we2pw5l]

So does a phaelenopsis work living in water and not dirt/soil/orchid soil I love watching roots grow

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, if by work we mean survive then yes, it could survive. If we mean thrive then no, it is my opinion that it struggles and it shows compared to my orchids :)

[@p4ul1010]

Your always apologizing for the noises in the background and we literally don’t care 😂😂 we don’t mind at all the noises and most of then we almost don’t hear them

[@suechan6596]

Hi Danny. Could you please make a care video on Dendrobium Cuthbertsonii? I got mine a week ago and is not doing well. Should I put it in a jar? Thanks

[@user-op9mv5lq1u]

I read that orchids need airflow, is there enough in a large jar?

[@carlailagan5974]

Do you put the jar near a sunny window? Or away from sun?

[@ariellioness9384]

How do you sterilize the plants and bark?

[@ruthdennisKnits]

I have an old terrarium jar that I’ve been saving and it will be perfect for one of my orchids. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@stacymahon4654]

how do the plants get the airflow they need not to rot exactly?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Well exactly and precisely, airflow is not a requirment for preventing rot. It's the pathogen buildup more exactly that causes potential rot, but if you precisely get lucky with tolerant and strong plants, you don't exactly need air flow to deal with drying out that water and kill the pathogens, you can create a sort of ballance of microbes in high moisture environments. What can I say it's not an exact science 🤣

[@rikta2004]

I just bought this "Guarcyclia kyoguchi" orchid... couldn't find any information on it. Please help on how to take care it. Please

Please HELP! I bought 5 beautiful phalenopsis orchids end of April, which 4 of 5 are still blooming but there is an outbreak of tiny fruit flies....what can I use to kill the pests but not harm the orchids? Since the soil is moist its the perfect breeding ground???

I have a small one I use for my baby orchids

[@oishd6077]

That's such a cute display ✨ wish i had the creative skills to do that 🤦‍♂️ maybe someday! PS- i wanted advice on starting cymbidiums from backbulbs... I am currently starting one and it's starting to sprout 3 growths at once😳 (yeah it's a big fat bulb from some noID green one) but the thing is idk how to go about it after this... I've tried earlier and after sprouting they just wither off .. so can you say what medium will work?? Will cocopeat +perlite+ vermicompost work? 😅 And can i try a tolumnia in your jar terrarium sort of setup? Thanks again!

[@xuanthanhnguyen7949]

can you make a terrarium with paphiopedilum

[@Night_Sky_1]

Helloo. I have a question which is not related to the video, but I've just bought an orchid a few days ago and I repotted it and cut all the parts of the roots that were rotten / dry, leaving only the healthy tissue. Even though I did that, I've noticed that the healthy roots have that white rot "fluffy" look and they also got some white dots all over their surface, but they still have substance, the tissue is not soft, it just has that white rot on it and the medium was also a bit rotten. I'm planning to repot it again into a new medium, but what should I do with the roots? As I said, they still have substance. Thank you!!

[@squrrelitololito1365]

Spray with a diluted hydrogen peroxide, then replant. If you will also soak them once dried out a little, prior to reporting, in eggshell water it will help ward of shock. It is not uncommon to lose several roots in a transplant .
