Nano Paludarium Tutorial - EASY Beginner Friendly Guide

[@rosesawyer4864]

I love paludariums! I'm excited about the possibility of starting Small.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Yes the small ones are super fun to make & a great way to get started😃

[@geenskeen]

I'd love to see an update on how this system is doing and how you care for it!

[@jannatal-naim4455]

I just about to learn making my very first terrarium and have been having this kind of idea of a water feature in it for several weeks without even being aware that it is called paludarrum, and today I accidentally came across your video! I'm so excited to start on my lil project now that I can learn directly here 😍😍😍

I love this one... I can't wait to try it. Thank you for putting all the information underneath the "more" section, this was totally helpful... Ur a Dream 💝.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Glad you found it helpful & thank you for watching:)

[@Sammy12346]

The water won’t get stagnant dirty and smelly?

[@morneschaap2944]

What a lovely build! Thanks for sharing.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Glad you like it!

[@morneschaap2944]

Your channel and book has been a huge inspiration! 😊

[@akirahappy8008]

So cute!! I really enjoyed watching you make this, I am excited to make my own and this made it seem much easier. I feel much more confident now!

[@ellem7258]

This is beautiful makes me think about to start one. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@TerrariumDesigns]

No problem! Thank you for watching:)

[@randomvielleuse527]

Wow! So beautiful and so clearly explained! Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it😃

[@randomvielleuse527]

@@TerrariumDesigns I really did. So many “how to” videos are full of endless drivel that I end up just not watching them. This was straight forward and to the point with great details. ☺️

[@sharan-cu5tc]

liked subbed with all notifications on very excited to make this tommorrow😁

[@LiliannaMartin-r9p]

Awesome video! I have never made a paludarium but I want to. I was just wondering if I could make one and leave the lid off to help prevent mold. Or do I need to leave the lid on for it to work?

[@BradyChuong-mr2ri]

Mine looks AMAZING

[@leosaraiv]

I have stumbled upon this video and I'm blown away. I have kept aquariums before but now I live in a tiny apartment with cats that like to hunt a lot! This video is giving me some ideas that are perfect to scratch that itch. Do I have to water it or is it self sustained? I am to build a small squared version (10x10x15cm) do I have to have a lid? Thx in advance

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Yes a lid is recommended to trap the humidity for the moss & plants. It will need very infrequent watering & I do water changes every week or so, but other then that it’s relatively maintenance free. You should definitely have a gig at making one!😃

[@Minegamer5793]

Thanks so much my centipedes are a lot happier now because of you

[@arthurinjapan]

Can you share the size of the glass jar you recommend? I would like to start small scale for my first paludarium. Thanks!

[@anjobugayongiii6250]

Your videos are very helpful sir. Keep it up!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! & thank you for watching😃

[@nathanholy]

Does the water get dirty after a week? Because I saw on another comment that you change it once a week? Or do the springtails take care of that too?

[@kristadietz6632]

How often does it need to be cleaned to prevent mold?

[@minebeeen3928]

Not at all if I have a clean up crew like springtails and woodlouse

[@minebeeen3928]

*isopods

[@antoniovarelavazquez4494]

you dont need to because the springtais will eat the mold

[@G-67r]

Very great video I have one question. How comes fresh air in the paludarium?

[@izHobo]

photosynthesis

[@MdMehediHassan-hq9gc]

Very unique project.....!

[@oniongarlic1516]

Nice ! How often do u have to change the water ?

[@andrewclark293]

Are water changes required for this set up and how often should they be done?

[@lukepizza]

we definitely need an update

[@anabanananaa]

Are the springtails essential for the survival or is it optional because I don’t have any and im not allowed to get any🤔

[@goldenfreiza1035]

Yes they are. Mold and other stuff will grow without them killing the palladarium

[@GeckoTech_Engineer]

I have spare coffee jar and want to make a terrarium so I might try this

[@minagica]

I was wondering if a paludarium like this could be a thing!!!!

[@Authent1Kx]

Where do you recommend buying plants and animals at?

[@Bebo-pf1mp]

This looks amazing-

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!!

[@santauxia]

Pretty cool

[@hintergamer4409]

I wanna do one like this as will if I wanna keep it long term how often would you recommend changing the water or is it even necessary??

[@Non123_]

Great work! May I know what kind of animals can paludariums of this size can hold, if any? (Aside from spring tails)

[@flyingdutchman_NL]

Snails

[@Non123_]

@@flyingdutchman_NL thanks!

[@flyingdutchman_NL]

@@Non123_ you're welcome :)

[@leonardterlevic4765]

I have tried making terrariums and paludariums like theese but the majority of the plants would die off because of overwatering. How do I know when the tank has enough water?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

The key is to keep the substrate damp but not wet. Using something like a fine mist spray bottle really helps

[@ninjakirby96]

Love it

[@blakehoward2804]

I like this channel 😊

[@astridvb]

Hello, got a question. I have many house plant and working on a terrarium, it has a opening that can't be close. will the springtail's hurt my other plants?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

No springtails won’t hurt the plants at all:) you can always cover the opening with something like a clear acrylic disc or Saran wrap if you’re still worried

[@isa758]

Hello, how can I prevent the substrate from becoming soaked with water? I have a drainage layer but it releases the water to the substrate.

[@andersuddevalla989]

can you take moss from the nature outside or will it not grow?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

You can but it’s a case of trial & error:)

[@-Masculine]

bro i live in a dry area, the plant species I can find are also limited. How can I make a paludarium cheaply and profitably? Can you make a video about it? Goodtimes.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Hey! I like that idea! A native paludarium build🤔 thanks😃

[@rad1oo]

Wtf do you mean profitably

[@PauloMontoyaTlacuilo]

amazing

[@sierr4_alcika]

Did you do water changes??

[@lucasgosz5789]

Where do you get your plants?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Often from reptile shops, they usually stock a good range of tropical plants

[@aydinuuu7141]

awesome

[@giovanni3898]

can you use plain water or it has to be distilled?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

You can use tap water, but it’s best if it’s; dechlorinated tap water, rain water, distilled water or RO water :)

[@chaelsonnenjindabad]

im making this in a slightly larger scale replica should i add taddpoles or small fish?

[@anabanananaa]

If it’s a bit bigger than this I think you can add tiny aquatic snails to clean up algae, but if it’s way bigger than you might be able to add shrimp and other small fish

[@ngothienterrarium]

❤❤❤

[@n19kolas63]

What is the smallest paludarium size that can include small fish and small frogs?

[@conegamingofficial]

paper towel

[@GildedToast]

how often did you water it?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

As it’s closed I very rarely need to water it:)

[@gabrielsstopmotion1959]

I have a question I have a large jar and I am trying to make my first paludarium but the jar opening is a little tight but enough to fit stuff in and my hand but I am missing super for large rocks I have and what i want to ask is it ok to use large rocks and for the wall and is it fine if the water are is a little small

[@elijahching]

This is all of your preference - that's the beauty of it! If the jar opening is too small, try to use tweezers, he has a great toolset for like $10 in the description. As long as your water isn't touching the soil you're fine!

[@gabrielsstopmotion1959]

ok ill try that

[@KALKAN_36]

wait.... some springtails appeared in my terrarium and I was thinking that was a bad thing. I kill them all ;(

[@Munz_is_at_your_house]

Some aren’t springtails, if they don’t jump and don’t have antennas then they aren’t sprintaols and are pests

[@Kero_editz]

First

[@lingnarzihary2492]

Damn your thumb nails are small.

[@BrianLeposki]

How long will the water last before evaporating?

[@minebeeen3928]

It wont

[@minebeeen3928]

Well at least if it's a closed terrarium (with a lid) because It will just have its own atmosphere which is pretty cool because u don't have to water it at all
