any updates for this terrarium after a few months?

Nice. I realized that a large part of your success is your boxes from which you take your cuttings i.e. having healthy plants to use in your terrarium. If you get time, I'm sure i'm not the only one who would benefit from a demonstration of how you create and maintain your grow out boxes. Thanks again for the lovely project.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. I will cover it in a future video.

[@lisap.1826]

I love that your terrarium was not oversaturated with too many plants. This shows that the hardscape is part of the environment, and is not just a base to be covered with tons of plants.

I love how you design your scapes, you always put so much effort into every detail. Fantastic work, my friend!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you

I've been getting those sized jars from the local asian supermarket where I live here in canada. They sell loose leaf tea in them (am big into loose leaf), so terrarium containers are just a bonus anytime I finish off a jar of tea :D

[@AAfzal-lk2nf]

This channel doesn't disappoints, very informative and beautiful build, since it's monsoon season here in India, I was wondering why don't you make a native terrarium build similar to this video, it will be very informative and helpful for beginners like me. Thank you😊

Thank you. These insects might eat the roots of plants is what I have read. Otherwise harmless I think. You can observe the terrarium for some more days and then take a decision.

Could you elaborate on which mosses struggle in closed spaces. I collected many spp recently but don’t want to plant one that are doomed to fail. Thanks in advance. PS your vids are lovely, my wife cannot wait for me to make her one.

Thanks. Temperate mosses struggle mostly. Tropical terrestrial and aquatic species do well.

[@gemmaquinn1048]

@TheUrbanNemophilist I did! No dice

[@lizharris421]

When I purchased moss to incorporate into my first terrarium, the seller warned that mosses typically like a slightly acidic soil. Peat moss is wonderful for reducing the pH of growing medium, but coco peat has a neutral pH. Do you add anything other than dried sphagnum moss to slightly reduce the pH?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Coco peat is actually slightly acidic. Together with moss, pine bark and soft water makes it ideal for moss growth. Not all species of moss however can grow in enclosed spaces due to some other factors.
