DIY Living Wall Moss Terrarium

  • I've had this one planned for quite awhile now and the time has finally come to make a living wall terrarium! There are a lot of ways that I could have done this, but I feel that transforming a baseball bat display case into a terrarium was a great idea. As I said I bought the case for $5.99 at a thrift store almost two years ago. I wasn't sure what to do with it until the other day.
    I think this one turned out really well and love the fact that it was an upcycled project. I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to a thrift store or flea market to find containers and other items for your builds. I always find the best things when I do.

      You should look into getting a couple more of these cases. A horizontal scape would look amazing as a long table center piece. Also I think it would be really cool if you did one of these but incorporated a broken, decaying baseball bat. Have moss growing on the bat while plants grow out of cracks in it.

What hubby doesn't know is that is going to be the focal point...and the Living walls will continue on through the room. This project is perfect! Thank you!!!

    Hey Tanner, just wanted to point out that technically what you are using to cut that spider wood are flush cutters, not wire cutters. If people are trying to get that type of tool it would be much harder to find it if they are searching for wire cutters which are substantially bulkier, and do not make a nice clean cut

Would the CFL overhead lights in the office be enough or would I need to supplement the lighting? I have a window, but there are a ton of trees outside so I don't get a lot of sunshine in it. In fact I run a blue grow light in the corner of my office a couple hours a day in the winter to help keep the circadian rhythms in sync. I know you grow your own moss, but are those available online? I don't see them often in the plant centers around me. Again, great job! LOVE this one.

    Hi all DIY terrarium builders. i recently was walking through a retail store that is going out of business
    and they were selling EVERYTHING!!! and realized that the small acrylic boxes that they use for
    holding small cheap items would make great terrariums. and they were dirt cheap too so if you ever
    find a store that is going out of business you can grab some dirt cheap acrylic boxes to use for terrariums/vivariums!

    I've just moved from the Hudson Valley of NY to the hills north of San Francisco, where I've been eyeing up the gorgeous mosses and greenery growing during this rainy season (winter). Before the spring comes, I intend to get a bit of a moss propagation setup going, so that I can pinch a bit from nature that will seed my future efforts to make some nice terrariums in your style. I'm playing the long-ish game with this, so I intend to start with cultivating some mosses and springtails, then some roly poly bugs (Isopods), so that I have a bunch of the elements of a bioactive terrarium at hand when I figure out what the best plants are to use in this climate.
    I appreciate everything you do, and have learned so much watching your videos.

    This turned out FANTASTIC! You’ve got a great eye for laying out your scapes, this one is my new favorite out of the ones I’ve watched you build...now I want one to hang in the back bar of my restaurant, it would be perfect there! Again, great job!

    Absolutely stunning. Your work has inspired so many - I’m building my first 18x18x24 vivarium now thanks to all your how to guides. Thanks for doing what you do!

      I just built one too! Are you on reddit? There is a vivarium subreddit that is helpful and they all love Serpa

    I really like this. The case made it look almost like a window into an lush atrium.
