I'm really enjoying this terarrium and I like how the update turned out as well! I personally don't care for the updates, but I'm curious about what you think. Should I continue doing the updates?
@djpseudoname20235 жыл бұрын
SerpaDesign curious how the live bugs🐜 are able to survive in the terrarium once you seal it with the airtight lid. Is the jar with lid you've chosen to encapsulate your terrarium the best choice for this type of project? And for those who may not have viewed your previous videos, it would've been nice to learn more about trapping oxygen in the jar along with spraying the plants 🌱 in combination with the live bugs and how they all work together to sustain the terrarium. Also locations where one may find the bugs used in your terrarium and why the bugs you've chosen are the best for this type of project. Perhaps the seven (7) thumbs down would've be seven (7) thumbs up. By the way, I was not one of the seven. I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. You would make a great instructional teacher. I certainly would've taken your course over gym, 😂.

I’ve actually got a completely sealed native terrarium that’s been going 3 years strong with absolutely no maintenance whatsoever. The crazy thing is it actually sits outside, exposed to the elements. It only started with an inch of soil, but the decomposing matter has actually created a 2-inch layer of soil. Maybe ill show it in a video!

Please do, I made a closed terrarium that only lasted a few months, which I suspect is due to inconsistent sun light as I'm very inexperienced with which side of the house to put it on and location in the room (indirect/direct sunlight).

Hi Tanner, first of all, thank you so much for all the educative videos you have made so far, my girlfriend and I have learn a lot. We have done around 10 closed terrariums about 3 weeks ago, and we are currently noticing that mold is building mainly on dry wood pieces. We are ventilating them regularly and we have replaced contaminated wood pieces but the mold is still coming back. For the composition of our terrariums, we have followed your instructions, and from that point we tried different kinds of false bottoms with mesh, always with activated charcoal. The substrate is made of coco fivers, sheet moss, potting mix. Finally, we have different kinds of plants and local mosses. Some are only mossariums, composed of false bottoms and activated charcoal only. We have also boiled decorative wood pieces and rocks for sterilisation and using spring water only. We didn't find springtails for now but there is life in the terrariums coming from the local mosses (which look like springtails). We are assuming that the origin of the problem would be either: - over watering, - the potting mix that we added to the substrate (we have seen afterwards your video where you advised against using this), - or the local mosses might have brought some spores of mold...? What would be the problem according to you? Would you have some advice? Again, thank you a lot for the videos and the tremendous time you're spending on these, there are really inspiring. R+V

The comment about the redworms doing most of the damage confused me. I thought redworms only ate decomposing plant matter so I don't understand how they were killing anything other than maybe making it too hot and moist in an enclosed terrarium for the plants to survive. I know my vermiculture bins get really hot and moist with all the red worms in it and the bin has to have holes poked everywhere in the sides. If i put fresh apples from my yard into the bins they won't touch them until they start to rot and any seeds that get in there from produce grow until i pull them out and the worms never seem to bother them either. I really love the vids and i'm not correcting him since he didn't say how the red worms did most of the damage i was just genuinely curious so i could be fully informed moving forward with building a terrarium in case anyone knows.

A big problem is fishermen dumping their bait worms in the forest thinking they're not doing any harm, but apparently they are. So by removing the worms, you saved your terrarium.

Ok, important question: if the water filters down into the gravel at the bottom how does it evaporate back up? The only way would be through the soil which would make it more damp. In the real world water flowed out into the open in rivers and oceans and is evaporated from there to the sky and back down. So, if I were to get a bigger jar, would it be beneficial to allow the gravel to extend longer than the soil where the water could pool up and be evaporated straight into the air?

Worm is a confuse word. Oligoquet anelids (earth worms) only eat dead organic matter, making nutrients accesible for plants. Also they move the soil making easier for the roots to grow. They would be harmful maybe if they are too many and harm the roots by moving or if they are not oligoquetes. Insect larvae, also caled worms, usually eat roots. But is more probable that the soil had harmful fungus or nematodes (also caled worms). Those two are the main plant killers. Please, dont blame the earth worms! They are pretty good farmers!
