- I haven't done a DIY in quite some time, so I figured I'd show you how I planted up this terrarium, which used to have an Episcia, or flame violet, in. Additionally, if you wait until the end of the video, you'll see how the terrarium filled out in about two months time! Special thanks to Espoma Organic www.espoma.com/ for lovingly sponsoring this video.

I love that you get straight to the point and you don't do the UA-camr intro babble 💚 such a informative Chanel
thank you for showing the updated after 2 months
My pleasure! Much more inspirational fully grown out haha.
I like how this is just soil nothing fancy
I always put a sub layer in of gravel. Fill that with water, put a tight screen over it and add soil and plants. Cover.
I like the screen idea too. I did that for another terrarium ... I think if this were a bit taller, I may have added some faux drainage layer. But as we saw in the 2 months later, the roots really utilized all that potting medium space.
That pilea was looking extravagant!
Aloha Summer Rayne! LOL When I first saw all your terrarium tools, it looked like a surgical site! You are always so organized and well-prepared. :)
I watched this video purely to make my own terrarium and i got a free asmr-session included😁
I haven't done a terrarium yet. My mother made one back in the 1970s when they were popular. She had a monstera too.
I love terriums. The growth on it after 2 months is incredibly.
That was very useful and so well produced. Yes, I have a terrarium that I just planted about six months ago and I wish I had seen this first. I added a bit too much sub-strate so it looks a bit like a geology diarama with all the layers. The plants are growing great and feature a "baby" from my 40 year old (yes, 40) spider plant. Plants for LIFE!!
Omg omg 😍😍😍😍😍 I love it! That 2 months worth of growth I’m so inspired to do something similar 💖 thank you Summer
Thank you for this! I was just obsessing on how to make one cos i received a hand-me-down glass aquarium yesterday that I plan to turn into a terrarium 😁 love the growth update towards the end, very encouraging haha
It was very encouraging. But those NE windows of mine have that magic light! Good luck on planting your aquarium into something beautiful!
Check out serpadesign, he is a real expert at it and will show you how to make beautiful ones that can last long term.
Cooper Olm hah! i’ve been binging on his vids the past couple of days so much goooaaalzzz! Thanks Cooper! 💚
Thanks for the absolutely lovely update at the end! The pilea you planted is pilea micropyhlla aka artillery plant or as I call it "the most fussy invasive plant ever"😂 They're really cool because of the way the plant shoots out pollen like a cannon hence the name "artillery". They can be hit or miss on taking sometimes. I needed to know how it all played out! 😁👍
Glad this one was a hit! And thanks for sharing further ID.
Amazing! I will definitely try this with a glass globe I bought a long time ago. Of course, the watering is mysterious, but you give us a pretty good idea about how to do it in this video. Summer, again, a great lesson!!!
Drinking game: drink everytime Summer says "quite nice" 🤣 love you Summer!
Or "particular" haha
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!🌿🍀🌱☘️
I love a good terrarium, and this has so many good ideas, good information on the kinds of plants and then the update on the terrarium's growth. Now I just need to find the perfect size and shape container and get started on my own unique terrarium. Thank you once again Summer, so much valuable information, and good care tips once it's planted up.
Lovely vid that helps people make turrium
This by far, is my favorite video and I love all your videos. I have that exact same jar and will be trying to make a terrarium ASAP.
Grand job, it is lovely.
That is a cute little tool set😊I've been purchasing a lot of Espoma products from watching you. And my plants are growing so beautiful! Some are turning into trees😁😁😁🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿
So funny :) Inspired by you I just made my first terrarium last night! and now you just gave me inspiration for my next one :D I love the idea of some tall ones growing up and out of the terrarium ;) Thanks Summer.
Beautiful!
I really appreciate the exact scientific names included on the screen. I'm just learning about house plants and terrariums and it's nice to get a handle of the names.
I'm glad I found this
Thank you Summer, that was awesome. I am gonna try do two terrariums for myself, one for fittonia and the other one for English ivy, and see how it goes using ❤
Your terrarium looks really good. Thanks a lot!
What a wonderful things. Going hunting for o glass container like that. Looks bautiful. Thanks. I love the top you are wearing
Super cute! 💜
Thank u for sharing this .Two months growth is marvellous. I will also do one terrarium. Bye..
I'm a big fan of you and your videos. I'm learning a lot in every one of them and they are fun and interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing your love for plants and spreading your knowledge with the world full of plant lovers! :)
My pleasure
going to try this today!
This video made me to make a terrarium 😁
I just made my first terrarium last week! It's a tall narrow one with a round opening in the front. I've got a pink fittonia, a little fern, and a mystery plant spilling out of the opening. I also covered the soil with some moss so it reminds me of a forest floor.
I just barely created my first Terrrarium with the most exotic plants i have ever seen or planted before. Im using an air plant on one side sitting on a clump of pebbles, and another small plant that will grow lots and fill up the other side. its a small terrarium, and it looks very beautiful!
WOW that looks so lush...I 💚it🙃
Crazy how it grew in just two months!
I love terrarium..my fav is ficus oak. My purple wandering Jew which I had shared many cuttings with my friends and family had exploded out of the vase 3x.
Thanks for the video, I learn something new from every video you upload! Ps- I would love to see you collaborate with Tanner from Serpadesign, and bring all of your subscribers along for the ride!
Is lovely. I must say that I knew, from de moment you were planting, that the pilea would take over! It is a very enthusiastic grower, after all. But it looks pretty cute, I'll see how mine turns out.
I would love to learn about your jewel orchid tray and how that was put together. It’s a unique display and jewel orchids are such fascinating plants.
I’d love to see your aquarium!
“I’ve succeeded in making a mess.” HA Yup, me every time.
This gave me ASMR!
Great work
I have been wanting to make a terrarium for so long but I’m busy with school. Holidays perhaps hehe
Very helpful video; I watched this as I just got given a glass globe. My first terrarium attempt is about to begin.
Lately I been thinking about a terrarium and watched a few videos on it. I do remember when I was in highschool one of my friend's grandparents had a terrarium in a big glass 5 gallon bottle like those used for office coolers. It was side ways and i remember tripping out on it and wondering how they put plants in it. It must of been custom to look like that or something. However, even back than I wanted it and I remember my friend saying I could take it lol. Never did, but gonna try n make my own now 😀
A while back I went to a local park and made a "native tarrarium" with all of the materials coming from that park such as pebbles, moss, grass, and a small fern on tree bark. Only thing is it all ended up dying but it was super cute while I had it because there were so many cute little bugs in there. I am now going to redo it, like in the video with some real plants that will stay alive. Thank you for this vid it was very helpful. :)
Thanks I have that same terrarium with nothing in it thanks for the ideas
This is a good video for me ive been thinking about making a jewel orchid terrarium for awhile
They do well in terrariums!
@@summerrayneoakes Oh great to know since I love jewel orchids!! Will Phalaenopsis Orchids do well in closed as well as open terrariums?💖
I usually follow Serpadesigns method of making them .
Great terrarium channel
He mostly makes closed self sustainable ones, which I like :)
Very nice video. I would start one.
Love all tour videos Summer. 🙂 can you do a video on closed Terrarium making also what plants suits for closed ones.
Please do a care video on the cute pilea michrophylla! Just found a variegated one and it’s dropping leaves like crazy!
I love your terrarium video as I love a lot of your other videos. But I am making terrarium of my own and would love to see more videos about making terrariums with houseplants. Thank you
Cool☺🌱
Dang my goal is to be as good at plant identification as you are!
91out, working in the garden, pool time! your Adorable
I have a maidenhair fern just sitting in my next terrarium but have been debating on a drainage layer, I hate debating with myself 😂
In my terrariums, my favorite plants to grow are Fittonia (nerve plants), angel hair fern, and dycranum scoparius (mood moss). The substrate I prefer is my own mix of calcined clay, coco coir, horticultural charcoal, lava rock pebbles, and orchid bark. My drainage layer is either all calcined clay, or charcoal and lava rock, but my main soil is a mix of all those materials. I occasionally use perlite or clay pebbles when I want a visual effect in the soil layers, but I don't think they look very organic compared to calcined clay. I have some terrariums with a screen type thing between the drainage layer, but I don't think there was any point to me doing that. I like my drainage layers to blend with my soil so the water will wick up, and I build all of mine on the highest angle I can, to make it easier to pour out excess water along the high dirt side.
Pretty but I don't care for the look of the perlite in the soil. Is there something else you could use or leave it out?
You mentioned some of the tools you’re using are for your aquarium. Would love to see your tanks... 🐠🐟🐠🐟
Terrariums can be fun but also a challenge. Fungus gnats love them since the soil stay moist and the humidity its great. That's my challenge now.
Thank you now I can make a turamea
I just bought a 10 gal. and 20 gal. aquarium from Petco to use as terrariums. Now to fill them with my humidity-loving divas like Maidenhair ferns (just found an unusual variety called 'Silver Dollar'), Ficus pumila, and certain finicky Peperomias and Calatheas.
Do you have an aquarium?? I would love to see that! You mentioned that those tools are your aquarium tools.. This terrarium turned out so nicely too!
Summer do you have a instructional video on plating and care for a indoor succulent garden?
I would like to know were you got the jar? I like it. And I would like one.
Love this but something I don’t understand. You made a very well draining soil but what does it matter if, ultimately, it’s in a glass container with no hole at the bottom and no place for water to drain? Or is the idea to help evaporation out the top if the medium isn’t holding on to the water? Sorry if this is a confusing question.
Not a confusing question at all. You wouldn't want the pores of the soil to be so non-aerated that when you watered, it would fill up all the spaces between aggregates where the oxygen would be. Also, because I'm using a peatier mix, I would want to add a bit more aeration. Peat, when it dries, it is hard to rewet and then water rushes right off, not getting to the roots. So there is always that balance in closed systems (or more closed systems like this), where you want to still have aerated soil so the pores aren't fill up and no oxygen in the soil. Hopefully I explained that adequately.
Summer Rayne Oakes Great explanation. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! Love crafty videos!
So are you gonna keep them growing or repot them and start a new one? This is wonderful. I’m gonna try doing my own!
Hi Summer! Would you say terrariums are better off next to a north east facing window or a south west? Thanks!
What if you put a hole with in the vessel and use a wicking system?
How do you make sure the roots don’t rot? I live in the Philippines . How often do we water? Do we need to add fertilizer?
Can u list the name of the plants u use in this jar...plzzz❤😘
In awe at how many plants she has in her kitchen. Beautiful
I like it🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Summer can you tell me were you got the jar from?
Can we plant the plants directly into the ceramic pots? Please tell me
I was looking forward to a terrarium video but was hoping for a sealed one, I have two 6 gallon glass water jugs with tiny openings I want to turn into long term sealed terrariums and would like to know what type of plants could go in them especially miniature plants. Love all the videos keep them coming.
ua-cam.com/users/SerpaDesign 👍🙂
@@msfoliage Thanks I've already watched almost all of his videos he does large open top terrariums not the tiny opening ones.
@@msfoliage found one but it's smaller then mine,thanks.
😍
Does it work in airconditioned room?
Was the tall begonia that you didn't end up using a begonia polygonoides?
❤️❤️❤️
I had an over size wine glass and gave it a go.
Can you list the name of the plants you use in this jar, please.
Thank you.
Thank you for another inspiring video! 😍👍 Just wanna ask, can i use pumice instead of perlite?
Sure! I think some pumice bits may be too big for some plant roots, so I think it'll depend on your plant.
In the beginning you mentioned a monstera Cebu blue, I thought that was a pothos?
No, it was a Monstera...just one leaf. The Potted Elephant sent it to me.
I was confused when I heard Monstera cebu blue also! So there's both a Pothos and Monstera??
Okay, so I did some research and found this:
"Monstera siltepecana is sometimes mistakenly confused with Epipremnum pinnatum 'Cebu Blue', but can easily be correctly identified by the hard ridge that runs along the stem of the ‘Cebu Blue’. Monstera stems are smooth."
Can you list the name of plants??
☺💚👍👌✨
🇧🇷😍😍😍
just have to glow not so long 240 more.555
Concentration is REAL at 11:07 💗
Aaaand... maybe use a scrunchie 😊
I suspect that some of the elements u suggest to incorporate are really not needed nor do they provide the benefits attributed. I guess u need to sell whatever yr sponsors give u. Thanks anyway for the video and info.
Dear Mis are you in selling a plant business
