You can also try local floral supply stores. 2) An optional clear lid - go to Amazon and search for “clear acrylic disc”. I recommend a minimum 1/8” thick, especially if you are going above 6” diameter. If it’s the disc is big and thin, it will sag. I leave my lid off most of the time to prevent mold from growing. So if you can keep up with watering, a lid is really not necessary. 3) Terrabase itself - use a terracotta planter, upside side down, and glue it to a saucer. You can use a terracotta saucer, but a porcelain saucer may actually work better - porcelain is impervious, and will prevent excessive water loss through the bottom. You can use silicone glue (Amazon, Michaels, etc) to bond them together. You may want to flip the saucer upside down as well, depending on the size and shape of the material. 4) Moss can be easily harvested from backyard, parks, etc. One tip, wash them thoroughly, try to get rid as much soil as possible, before attaching to terrabase. Soil can harbor pests and mold spores. 5) Epiphytes: local nursery. I’ve found rainbow moss and oak leaf ficus grow very well on terrabase. 6) Grow lights: optional. Plenty of options on Amazon. My favorite brand is Sansi. 7) Attaching plants to terrabase: mostly use green cotton string, found at local craft stores (Michaels) or aquarium glue (back up option).
Thinking of making my own terra cotta pot and glass terrarium. Can normal orchids (gift varieties) be grown on this system? Is expensive moss required, or can any outdoor or cheap purchased moss be used? Does mold have to cleaned out from inside eventually?
Iv been looking at these really closely for the past few months! They are so hard to find in Australia. Thanks for explaining how the concept of them work. I didn't realise that the water slowly wicks from the centre to the outside. I have a vision of 3 of these on a small shelf in my room with 3 different colour schemes :) Will be interesting too see your follow up videos on this topic. Thanks man! your awesome!
Wetduckling Personal Channel Personal Channel it’s just up to your preference really, there’s so many to choose from I just happened to find a nice amount of peacock moss which I prefer over Christmas and Java
Great video! What size of the Neo Glass Air did you use here?
Very nice video. Beautiful wabikusa. I wish you good luck, my friend.
Looking good!
I made one myself using material easily found from hardware stores or on Amazon. Just as gorgeous. :)

Super cool! Please release updates as this grows out. Very interested! :-)
