Terrarium DIY India l Miniature garden in glass bowl l Indoor closed terrarium basics l Ask Iosis

Hi,
This is a fun DIY video in which we show you how to make a terrarium suitable to Indian climate in a fishbowl .
This is a "0" maintenance gift that you can give your loved ones.
#askiosis, #terrarium
Following are the important points to remember to create this miniature garden in glass bowl.
1) Rainy season is the best season top create this in India.
2) Collect moss and plants from the local park, compound wall or pavement area as they will not need a lot of time to adjust.
3) The gravel false floor is a must as it acts as a reservoir and avoid decay of plant material.
3)The earthworm is also a very important factor. Don't worry about the oxygen requirement of earthworms as the micro climate formed in this enclosed jar will ensure the worm gets oxygen from the plants and the CO2 and O2 equilibrium will be achieved in a few days.
4) Enclose the jar at the day time or in artificial light as the plants will be emitting oxygen and will help achieve the biological cycle faster.
5) Keep the terrarium facing the same side to the window in the interior of the house so that the plants get a fixed source of light for a fixed time in a day. This will also help it set and adapt faster.
6) Activated charcoal layer helps remove impurities from water while it percolates to the reservoir thus avoids foul smell.
7) In the initial week you might observe mold formation which normal and eventually it will subside.
8) As this is a closed type of terrarium, close it with a good non porous transparent lid and don't open it occasionally as it will disturb the set cycle.
9) If you see no condensation on the walls in the next few days, it means you need to sprinkle more water inside.
10) Condensation will be seen twice a day on the light source side. If you see condensation throughout the day then open the lid and wipe off excess.
11) Eventually it's a trial and error thing, this was my sixth attempt at a terrarium and i have observed the above written things which might help you in the process. Happy creating !!!

Hi Great Video! Explanation flow chart was really good. Just want to know how is this Terrarium doing now.

[@Dendrobug]

Sticking Moss is not a good idea as the basis for terrariums is that you design and induce a closed Ecosystem. You wouldn't want chemicals in it, no Ecosystem is designed to withstand that. You use organic soil for the fungus and bacteria in it, chemical kills most of these leaving you with an unhealthy Ecosystem. I saw a question here about the earthworms, about their survival. The key word here is: Ecosystem. It might survive. If it doesn't then it's nutrition to the soil. A great tutorial :) nicely explained. Kudos, for everything except 'sticking' the Moss.

[@abhishekshukla8226]

[@likeshkumar1975]

[@diptidholakia7852]

[@Designcalling]

Thanks for watching dipti Dholakia & for your valuable feedback ! We will definitely keep this in mind next time. We have inserted a picture of terrarium with layers and naming in the video, I think that might help.

[@Designcalling]

+dipti ji please PAUSE video at 6:12 the layering diagram is given. Thanks.

[@likeshkumar1975]

But I want moss, now from where can I get ?? Can we use colourful pebbles also? We don't have to change soil again.

[@Designcalling]

You can get dry sphagnum moss from any nursery and green moss from any nearby water body like lake/ waterfall .

[@jayesh6162]

How to clean this

[@zahirihaz731]

Is it necessary to put Earth worms?doesn’t it eat the plants?

[@Positivevibes-xn6uy]

Is it a closed terrarium or top open ?

[@jiyaabhatia4058]

Hey can you do a house tour of your house...would get a lot of creative ideas from it

[@Designcalling]

Thanks for watching Jiyaa Bhatia ! Suggestion noted ❤

[@yashwanthn9697]

Good idea..!! :p

[@jonnywick4402]

ASK IOSIS - INTERIOR DESIGN INDIA yea do it. Whats app #?

[@likeshkumar1975]

Instead of gravel can we use sand

[@soumyatunk3994]

What will happen to the worms in coming days or months?

[@raj102945]

I think the worms will die. How can they live in a totally sealed humid unit.

[@annjose3616]

raj102945 or may reproduce and and comeout of the jars

[@saketjawaji1557]

They will survive because the plants provide the oxygen and the moss provides food

[@sourabhadas129]

Love all your videos.... Very informative also any one can do by following your ideas.

[@Designcalling]

Thank you so much SOURABHA DAS ! This made me soo HAPPY ❤

[@poojawalve8592]

Didn't your tree bark catch fungus. I have created many terrariums and my wood materials usually get fungus. Pls clarify

[@Designcalling]

+Pooja Walve Please do read the description. Initially you may observe fungus inside the terrarium, which is very normal. Eventually it will subside. Once the ecosystem is set, you will see the difference. Thanks for watching !

[@shivam-nu3yd]

Maybe you put too much water in it

[@user-mf4cx7dl3x]

Make a video on turtle gallery pond

[@jagrutinaravani8685]

Hello Nihara, thanks for the video. Kindly let me know for how long does this plant stay alive for?

[@Designcalling]

+jagruti naravani hey its been 3 months and I can see a jungle in my terrarium. Spotted earthworms, snails, springtails inside. Its totally self sustainable. Soon I will be doing an update video on it.

[@MsApril1904]

I always wanted to make a terrarium but never tried it. The video is quite helpful. One quick question, are the earthworms really necessary?

[@Designcalling]

Hi Sangita, yes the earthworm is mandatory for the eco cycle to set.

[@SK-yy2lo]

👋 need some help creating this! Thanks!!

[@sanascorner6458]

How old ru ?

[@GG1783]

Are earthworms really necessary? I know they help work the soil but is it ok if we skip them? Great video 👌🏽

[@Designcalling]

Thank you so much G Quantum ! In closed terrarium earthworm is a must to set the Eco system. In this terrarium now i can see few baby earthworms..so i think its set properly.

[@radha_the_flute_girl]

Hey, when covered with lid did that earthworm survive?

[@Designcalling]

+Priyanka Pethkar yes I just saw it yesterday :)

[@kritiverma5081]

I can see ur balcony pond in the background

Thanks for watching monika jindal ! These gardens develop their own ecosystem about which we have explained in the video and description. About all the materials, i will add details in description. thanks for reminding ! 🙂

[@sujeetcoolvideos4496]

Make the video on plants

[@Designcalling]

Yes. Noted.

[@jg-js4xm]

Mam... Won't earthworm come out..Is it okk if we don't put earthworm Inside it

[@Designcalling]

+j g Earthworms won't come out, as the top will be sealed. You can't keep this open. It won't survive. Earthworms are really important in this as they help in moving the soil and complete the biological cycle.
