The Carnivorous Sundew Terrarium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- It's finally time for another terrarium build! In this one I'm making the highly requested sundew terrarium. This one is similar to the venus flytrap in ways and different in others. Regardless the end result is a simple and elegant terrarium that showcases the sundew (Drosera tokaiensis).
As I explained in the video, sundew will thrive in inert substrate free of minerals with bright light and humidity. Also use water that doesn't' have any minerals. If you can provide these and a dormancy period for applicable species, then you should have success. If you want to make a terrarium for them, I'd recommend building it around the plant and think of everything else as a visual enhancement.
Again as I say with most things, if these and other carnivorous plants are something that interest you, do some research! There is a lot of information out there that I just can't touch on in a video like this.
Material List:
Black Lava Rock
Distilled Water
Geotextile Fabric
Glass Container
Substrate (Coco Fiber/Peat, Quarts Sand, Sphagnum Moss)
Plant List:
Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus'
Drosera tokaiensis
Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia'
Marchantia polymorpha (Liverwort)
Saxifraga stolonifera (Strawberry Begonia)
Selaginella kraussiana 'Gold Tips'
Sphagnum Moss
Taxiphyllum 'Flame' (Flame Moss)

I really hope you enjoy this one! It was a highly requested project. I personally think it turned out great. Also I added proper CC subtitles to this video for those of you who need them. Let me know if they help and I'll think about adding them to the rest of my videos. Have a good weekend!
This really looks cool! I'm a bit concerned about the growth rate of the other plants because tokaiensis can easily be outgrown even by sphagnum moss. Give us an update in a few months!
Subtitles are handy. Sometimes I watch in the middle of the night when I can't sleep and don't want to disturb my husband.
Great result. Looking forward to the update.
Good to know! Thanks for the feedback.
Why no spring tails or isopods in this one?
Me: knows nothing about keeping terrariums
Also me: Oh my god ficus pumila quercifolia is my favorite!
Haha same here
Luckily, they are much easier to find now - has always been a favorite of mine also

The diversity of life on this planet never ceases to amaze me.
But we humans are just destroying it.
@@anushthanvishwakarma4837 We sure are, and that's why I think artists like Tanner are doing such necessary work showcasing the beauty that's still around us.
@@anushthanvishwakarma4837 Watch George Carlin's comedy routine "Saving the Planet." It will give you a different perspective.
Anne Brunner I hope the earth will live long and so will the inhabitants.
@@anushthanvishwakarma4837 Well to be optimistic we're attempting to do some de-extinction of certain animals through cloning or backbreeding (breeding a close relative to display the extinct animal features) however endangered species are kinda getting screwed more over due to covid not really enforcing conversation laws due to no one being outside during the pandemic so its a mixed bag
May the one person who disliked this be eaten by a giant sundew
🙌😂😅😅
🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
LOL
That would actually be the worst possible death
Do it!
You’re an artist painting with the never ending pallet of nature, and you do it so well.
You expressed this so well 🥰
I'm interested in the longevity of this project. Typically you don't want types of grasses with your carnivorous plants because the roots compete with the delicate ones of sundews. The lava rock is a nice choice, you can actually grow carnivorous plants into lava rocks and make gardens with those- a future project perhaps? :) Tokaiensis love to bunch and multiple their growth points so you might need to remove some plants in the future once they fill out!
neat project! I look forward to seeing how the partner plants do long term!
Thanks Rachel! I think they should be good based on what I've seen in the past, but time will tell.
@@SerpaDesign cant wait to see the updates.its really beautiful!
Can we get a crossover video with you and @serpadesign? Please?!
I found a big glass bowl at Goodwill for 5 bucks. It's a big one, big enough I can fit it on my head! it wiil make a great terrarium... I am going to put mexican butterworts mounted on lava rock in it!
can u survive in space wearing it?
Could we see some more vivarium projects. We haven’t seen one in a while
Hilton Aquatics or an update video
Out of curiosity how will the non-carnivorous plants do in this nutrient lacking growing medium?
That’s what I was thinking! I hope he replies.
I also wonder how the carnivorous plants will eat insects inside the jar
yes i think @SerpaDesign need to answer this
@@Jellykrop sundrews catch prey when they land on their leaves, they curl them up like a octopus tentacle and the leaf dissolves the animal
@@wessidejoshh4091 he asked about non- carnivorous not the insect eater plant
awesome, I want to do this to my sundew! Can you do an episode explaining your shelf lighting setup?
Nothing to discuss really. It's a 6500K shop light. Outputs at 3000 lumens using only 27 watts I believe.
bruh I read Coronavirus
😂😂😂
Lmao the PTSD kicked in.
Your videos are the perfect mix of educational and entertaining! Thanks so much for these videos, they really make collecting plants and making terrariums seem so easy!
I love this! To me, it really gives off a prehistoric feel with the use of volcanic rock, and the choice of plants.
Should have a hidden spot behind the rocks for a piece of fruit to attract fruit flys.
That's not a bad idea
Ha, great minds think alike
I decided to make the Isle of Arran biotope in my jar so I will use granite for the drainage layer, then on top of the terrarium mesh I will add lava rock (thin layer), then peat moss with perlite and springtails into the soil and Scottish sphagnum moss on top.
The carnivorous plant native to the island is Drosera rotundifolia but there wont be enough room for the other carnivorous plant native that lives there (butterwort) so I might just leave it as is , then I'll seal up the jar with a cork.
update: its thriving plus while making it I added another native drosera species seeds to grow with the Drosera rotundifolia , thats called Drosera anglica (found the seeds online), and due to me living actually close to their habitat they feel right at home.
I had the pleasure of seeing some wild sundews in one of my courses this semester. Drosera rotundifolia can be found in certain types of wetlands here in Canada, but ours were all pretty tiny!
i guess i need to wonder how hard/easy/interesting it would be to make a cave terrarium for mosses and fungi. that is something i'd love to learn about.
How much do you water this? They say in the plant store it needs to be in a “bog” so I’m curious how damp your soil is
Awwwww *yeast* another carnivarium. I've made a Nepenthes carnivarium but they seem to overgrow it quickly so I've to trim it every now and then
I also finished my own terrarium rn before watching this, I was inspired by your creations
Ansel Belle DC I just did my first one last week it took months of planning to get everything but once I finally put it together everyone says it’s beautiful I never knew anything about terrariums until I came across tanners page and now I’m obsessed.
I’ve been watching your channel a lot lately and it has really inspired me to make my own creations and connect back with nature. Thank you! Your work is amazing!
Hey Tanner! My kids and I went throughout our property and made your free terrarium design... It was our first one ever, didn't use a bottle but used an old 3 gallon fish tank we had... They loved it.. but where on earth do you get those tweezers!? I've looked everywhere and can't find them or anything like it
I think you should revisit this terrarium. I think the reason it didn’t last very long is the fact that sundews and most of all the other carnivorous plants require really soggy soil. You could also get some maxsea liquid fertilizer and sprits the sundews of the tops to give them some nutrients to help boost there growth. Also you may want to do it as a riparian style that is more open to the rest of the room to help allow more insects to make there way to the traps. Maybe you could get some drosera palacea or drosera spatulata
Did he give an update somewhere saying this terrarium didn’t last long?
@@sarahfangsrud7584 I was wondering the same thing. Also, since the sundews need to be in a substrate free of minerals, as he said, I'm wondering how the other plants did as they WOULD need minerals, I would think...
Awesome! I’ve lately really been into pitchers. I think that you could make something awesome with pitchers. By the way, the terrarium is beautiful
Simply eye catching!!! I love how the bright green contrasts with the smokey grey rocks
Simple and Beautiful! Maybe it's just me, but my eye kept wanting to see a third sundew in the terrarium. 💓🌿👍 Thanks for the enjoyable vid.
I wish I had a third one as well!
Agreed. It is harder to make two look as natural as three, but the saxifrage kind of balances it all out - very nice job
Did anyone else read CoronaVirus instead
nobody: nothing
Danner: DRAMATIC FAN BRUSH MUSIC!!!
You have mastered your ratios dude! From the thumbnail I thought this was a HUGE bulbous container. I was quite shocked to see how small it actually is. Amazing!
Can't help but read 'dew' like Zefrank in my head. "Deujw"
😂😂😂💧💧💧
Sometimes, I wonder how people read things like that.
Another Masterpiece! I've always had an interest in carnivorous plants. Thanks for showing your unique ways to present them.✌
Carnivorous or Coronavirus? lol
Ethan Meade I had to read it 3 times before I realized it wasn’t Coronavirus hahahaha
Without nutrients in the substrate will you be feeding the begonia and other flora?
Are you going to feed them insects?
Most likely not, but if I do I'll just get some flightless fruit flies. It should happen on it's own though.
try pinguiculas you can put them directly on a lava rock and they look reallypretty
Yeah those look nice
You need to open up a display gallery man, you have so many projects that require curating. Ut would be cool to be able to share that with your locals as a shop/ garden centre type situation.
ZEFRANK KEPT GOING THROUGH MY MIND WHILE WATCHING THIS ..
ZEFRANK .. " THEIR IN THE HIDEY HOLE"..
So, i was rewatching your update video on all of your terrariums and was wondering why you think these sundews didn't work out?
"now close the container and shake thoroughly for 3 minutes."
6:16 WHERE'S THE MONEY LEBROWSKI
Hah
Hahahaha 😂
Monica Lewinski too
The Coronavirus Sundew Terrarium
You never disappoint.
Will you need to feed the Sundew?
Shouldn't have to. I suspect they will attract prey items on their own.
Who like me read "coronavirus"
Didn't it get springtails? What can you feed them to keep them growing?
question the other additional plants that you place into the terrarium with the sundews would they actually sustain themselves in that type of soil or do they actually need to be in another form of media soil?
Just going from the thumbnail this one looks insane!
I've been binging your channel for a while now and its safe to say I am totally obsessed. Your videos are very inspiring and the way you explain the process makes it seem like a very accessible hobby for a beginner. This one is so far my favorite. I'm hoping I can get some Sundew in Australia because I'm going to give this a red hot go.
Awesome I never knew of a “sun dew” now I want one. You do great work me and my daughter watch a lot of your videos together
Favorite plant on the first video of this UA-cam I watched. Definitely staying on this channel.
if everything is inert in there, how are you going to fertilize the other plants that dont rely on insects for food?
I love this awesome plant but could we maybe get a pet update? I love seeing your frogs and lizards- they're so cool! pwp
I love Carnivorous plants.
Venus fly traps are my favorite but they are not native to my area.
I read articles that we do have picture plants but I've never seen them around.
Loved the video.
I hope someday I'll stumble upon a carnivorous plant :)
I would love to work with sundews. They are native to NC and I've even found some at the park next to me. I'd have to get them elsewhere though, since removing things from the park is not allowed.
"devoid" is okay for enclosed settings. In the wild, I've seen them in high nutrient areas (pond edges with muck and mud).
I'm finally going to try and set up my first terrarium in 5 days and I'm currently on a marathon of your videos 😂 I'm still thinking about the plants tho, it will be a small closed terrarium, placed in a spot with medium to bright light...anyone has suggestions for it? Possibly, an "easy-going" plant that won't grow too fast 😅 Thanks!
we are all living in the Coronavirous Sundew Terrarium now
How do you ensure enough insects? or do you feed them with something like fish flakes?
Put some Mosquito bait in there and maybe a camera to monitor it.
I don't know if you've done this, but if you haven't could you do a terrarium for a aloe plant? They are one of my favorite succulents!
Oooooo I've been waiting for this one!!!!!!
😁👍👍👍 Nnnniiice!!!!
Definitely thought the title said coronavirus
is there an update on this? how big are those sundews now?
At a quick glance, I thought it said coronavirus haha. Enjoyed the video by the way!
I've been looking for this comment
I hope someday we can see another carnivorous terrarium with multiple plants in a happy arrangement!
Very cool 💚 I never testet carnivorous plants with inert soil ingredients, always with tap water (no I don't have chlorine) awesome terrascape 👍😊
I have SOOOOO many of those Sundew plants growing in my yard. all mine are red though.
why would you make a coronavirus terrarium
I swear to god I read "The Coronavirus Sundew Terrarium".
me too
Same
look so beautiful!!! how is your venus fly trap terrarium doing?? :)
Who else thought it said corona virus?
Any chance of an update on this one? 🤩
Love this planting. Can't believe how slick and more confident your videos have become. Been watching for over two yrs now.
Dude this looks fun, challenging and very rewarding to do. I definitely want to try this with micro mini orchids.
Do we eventually get an update on this one?
I really wanted to understand everything, I'm Brazilian and passionate about these videos, I really want to do it.
How do you water this type of terrarium?
Do love your work so fun to watch you are very chilled and informative. It makes for a great watch
Its currently 4 am and i on a thursday 8 cant sleep so i just watch this haha.
Uggh y cant i fall asleep
If u got all the way down here whats ur favorit food
Can you put an ant colony in to feed the plants too?
‼️Fabrik is toxic for sundew‼️
Not true
Nice, a future update will be appreciated. Thanks for sharing 😃🙏🏻
I've really liked your hardscapes in your recent videos, seems like you've improve a lot from when I discovered your channel a few years ago. Keep it up! I always like seeing what you're making.
I really like it. Bonsai is looking good also 👍🏽
I had a sundew plant once
It fell on my carpet and even flowerd untill i went on holiday and it dried out and died I kept thinking it would regrow but no
Never a disappointment! I have been watching for about a year now and your content is incredible. You were one of my main inspirations to start making my own projects and videos! Thank you for inspiring so many people!
Pls do a utricularia terrarium :3
I read it as cOroNA ViRUs
What the hell, I literally just rewatched the Venus flytrap video literally just yesterday.
Beautiful!
Venus fly trap : ...
Fly : I think I'll rest here...
Venus Fly trap: Let me keep you warm.
Fly: Thanks
Venus Fly trap: You welcome
Fly: Wait, who said that? (Acid liquid kills starts turning the fly inside out).
Damn I'm a sicko
Could you cap it to prevent evaporation and add insects for it to eat?
i almost red ''the coronavirus terrarium''
Who else thought this said Corona Virus, then came to the comment section to see if anyone else was equally illiterate
Ahoj Water for sundews 1.)Can I water my sundews with tap water? 2.)Can I water that boiled and then cooled sundews with water? 3.)ed. Wysłano What water do you use for Drosera callistos ,Drosera anglica?
@SerpaDesign
I find your videos with your builds all very aesthetic and inspiring :)
Just one question: You also seem to be lacking light which you compensate with artificial light. Is this very energy-consuming and therefore very costly?
Best, thanks!
As far as my experience and knowledge goes; Coal EVEN ABSORBS NUTRIENS if it is an "empty" coal. almost like a reversed osmosis. if the coal is already charged with nutrients from water or others its something diffrent. its surface per gram is enormous. it's a super interesting topic!
3:03 trusty fan brush is to Tanner what tiny whisk is to Binging with Babish. *Trusty fan brush we love you!*
Looks good? Check.
Is a good environment for carnivorous plants? Not check. These environments cannot drain correctly and plants face a big issue with rot. Additionally, the lack of airflow encourages foreign growth.
Hello Serpasquad, as you can see from my ring, I am married. As I dont get out much, I built my wife using a vase I've had around for a long time. I mixed her up with 1 part sand, 1 part peat and 2 parts dried sphagnum. When I'm feeling frisky, I wet her with distilled water....
Very creative and nice. Can I ask you question please? I noticed you change the view angle many times. Do you use multiple cameras when shooting the project or just one and you keep moving it all the time? What type of camera you use? Lastly how long it took you to film the project and how long it took you to edit it? Sorry for the many questions. I just had my mind blown up by the film directing. You are not just a plant expert. You are also a movie expert. Nice work. Thanks.
I like it how this video title is called the carnivorous tank.🍖🍗🍣🍤. But a very unique tank.👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️😅
