Think we need a counter for the amount of times I said ‘terrarium’😅
-
To make the cover disks, buy a cheap poster frame and cut circles in the plastic. It's less expensive than acrylic
-
I am very glad I found this channel. I used your video on how to make a terrarium guide and made one for Mother’s Day.
-
i'm glad that i have found your channel. I started doing terrariums and ecosystems thanks to you and your inspiring videos. Thank you! <3

Ive only gotten about 3 stable terrariums setup after my first big bioactive vivarium i made for some day geckos- but! Something i found is that a little cling wrap and a rubber band around the mouth of the terrarium vessel works just as well as the acrylic discs you mentioned:)
-
A beautiful work... ❤
-

In other of your videos you said that for a closed terrarium we would need springtails. Do we or not? I would be pleased to hear no, because I don’t want anything escaping and crawling through my home…
-
Hiii!!! My terrarium has been there for 6 months and some ficus and moss leaves are yellow. The substrate has worms casting, but I don't know if it is a lack of nutrients. ):
-
Seen you video clip saying not in direct sunlight. Had mine in kitchen window for 2 months and is looking really well is it because it has no lid that's it's doing ok
-
Please tell me how much wattage is suitable for growing plants in a terrarium? of LED stand lamp , dimmable led ?
-
knowing how much to water and knowing when you overwatered is tricky
-
Do I still need to water a close bioactive vivarium with a pond?
-
I've been trying to cultivate some mosses but I believe two of my biggest issues are lighting and substrate. Any help?
-
I’m about to make my first terrarium ever and I don’t want to screw up what are the must buys
