@@Neromace Unless you use really puffy soil, or its a tiny jar/tank, the substrate will fall into the drainage layer rendering it useless and they will too much water around the soil. So you should always use a mesh to keep things alive.

[@leproassula3029]

I love your channel. You inspired me to make my very first terrarium! I learned what plants to use, that you need a drainage layer, what moss to use and that springtails clean and help the terrarium. I really like how you explain every step in your videos. Good day when you upload.👍🏻

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Comments like this make my day! Glad I could help & hope your terrarium is growing well😃

[@pkers1967]

This is what i was searching for. I'm planning to make my own from an unused aquarium.

[@classi.]

simply wow! This is by far my favorite Terrarium! Absolutely love the sense of depth on this one, I will definitely use it on my first terrarium.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it😃

[@swapnasaimurali7267]

I just love your work..I started making terrariums only by watching your videos..Truly amazing..love the way you explain each step..very creative..Keep up the good work!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@Wrroom]

Another beautiful terrarium, my personal favorite from your channel! 😁

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@bimples4654]

These videos are so fun to watch it go from a box to a smol jungle.

[@semgonki9808]

How do you make it so foggy

[@riverbrown7602]

I really enjoy watching your videos while doing chores, it makes everything go much quicker, love your videos and hoping for more soon! :D

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Love to hear this! Glad you’re enjoying the content & thank you for watching😃

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Hope you enjoy the video!:)

[@hanmashuji8361]

I love your videos...very interesting

[@Isaac-z1s]

I already made two terrariums because of you!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s great to hear!

[@martinkudari8627]

Can I use aqua soil instead of the mix you use or outdoor plant soil fertilizer?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Yes aqua soil is a great alternative:)

[@stathistsakas2086]

I have made some very simple terrariums but the moss dies sooner or later. I believe the problem is that im not using led lights but indirect sunlight which maybe is not enough. Can you make a video about the lights please? Is it necessary to use LED lights or will a common bulb so the job? Also, how many lumens do you need for the moss to grow?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

LEDs do work great but you can even use something like a low wattage desk lamp. I’ll be sure to make a video on the topic:)

[@silasfoulon]

Hey, that mysterie plant is a kind of fern I think I have a terrarium were I just placed moss in and I used normal potting soil, after a year of making it a plant that looks simelar to yours sprouted out of nowhere and now it has got more leaves and I can confirm it's a fern spiecies👍

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s great to know, thank you!!😃

[@adamnagy4544]

I guess it is a small fern :D Amazing!

[@GreenChords]

What caused the fog? Just the high humidity? Looks so sick!

[@ianm139]

Top work as allways. I have the ferns you used. N they do look cool

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! Yes they are beautiful😃

[@martinkudari8627]

Can you make one mega build like 2ft or 3ft terrarium? It would be great

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Definitely something I’d love to do in the future!

[@chelleye]

Beautiful! Where do you get the springtails?

[@thatexperience7081]

Good day when terrarium designs uploads

[@leproassula3029]

Agreed

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!!😃

[@dawnt6791]

The Boston and Asparagus ferns I've seen are HUGE. Does putting them in a terrarium prevent them from growing so massive? Or do you have to trim them to keep them small?

[@bowLoqR]

You trim sigma

[@Tinnerito]

I don't know the exact species, but i think the plant that sprouted in the tank is a type of climbing fern. Some climbing ferns can grow low and bushy, while others can be long, and climb on hardscapes!

[@logusathya7249]

Super design bro 😮

[@bluey4ever]

I'm Very sorry for the first terrarium, But this one will avenge it with it's variety of plants and overall Beauty. I'd love to see you make a Cave Terrarium, where you make a cave with lavarock, and plant plants all around and the much lush ones in the back. it would make a great hope for Springtails and isopods! Maybe in the next video..?😁😁

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s a cool idea! Thank you for watching:)

[@tylambert8562]

How did you get the fog?

[@yesnobutyes]

May i ask what you use to film it? So close and steady but it doesnt look that close

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I filmed this one with my IPhone😃

[@vildhallon4709]

Beautiful!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@mrkitcatt2119]

Where did you get the lid

[@rebel1980warrior]

is the charcoal used activated or just normal charcoal?

[@ianm139]

Hi. Does the lid come with the cube tank plz ?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

It doesn’t but I just used some glass from a picture frame so it was very cost effective:)

[@ianm139]

@@TerrariumDesigns Good idea, Thanku

[@burnmyscars]

@@TerrariumDesigns awesome! Love your videos! The lid is sealed or simply placed on top of the terrarium? Thanks

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! It’s just placed onto😃

[@kiribandagejayawardena726]

Thank you somuch .

[@jennym_edits]

how do you catch spring tails

[@TerrariumDesigns]

They are often sold in reptile/amphibian shops but you can also get them online:)

[@Cbeale4891]

I think this terrarium look better than your old one

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! Glad you like it😃

[@jackstone4291]

What can you use in the UK instead of “door screen mesh”? ……

[@ireshudayanga2254]

How u add the mist for that?😮

[@Slixix04]

I love thissss

[@Vp-pc6hj]

hi sir, can you give me the link to buy the top lid for this tank?

[@sabidbirb9391]

could you make a new paludarium build?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Made one that’s drops next weekend:)

[@cameronturner4639]

i have the same tank but i made it into a nano reef

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Nice! I’d love to do that one day:)

[@warren4838]

is it ok if the terrarium is not covered?

[@RedElves]

What is the size of the aquarium?

[@ThePretao123]

I fucking love all of your terrarium building ! Yo sir, In Brazil spider wood is extremely expensive, could you please indicate another one that can replace it?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Drift wood is sometimes cheaper & still looks great!

[@EmpressOfExile206]

I like how you say "this is spider wood and think it would be a great choice for _this_ scape" as if it's not the same thing you use in literally *every* scape 😂

[@sabidbirb9391]

yay second comment! whats ur favorite terrarium plant?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s a tough question! One of my all time favourites has got to be ficus quercifolia(oak leaf creeping fig). How about you!?

[@sabidbirb9391]

@@TerrariumDesigns same here lol mabye string of turtles

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Great choices😃

[@QC_Terrarium]

that's great , can you show me how to make the tree live so long ? thank you 1

Nice channel. But the fern is not a Boston, it's a Nephrolepis Fluffy Ruffles 👍

[@4valhalla898]

( vivarium idea ) make a big and when i say big i mean a BIG tank thats idk say like 75 - 125 gallons big and make it have rain storms apex predators prey and more but have all of them be no bigger or the same size as a bearded dragon this could mean you can make a desert tank a jungle tank an island tank just make it have disasters to be a small ecosystem ( and also for terrariums does plastic containers work )
