I have returned! Have you wondered how I made my brancharium, or wanted to make your own brancharium? If so, don't miss this extremely detailed account which shows every step from beginning to end, revealing all of my methods, secrets, insights, and more. Drop a comment and let me know if you are going to try making a brancharium, if you learned anything, or any other thoughts! Thanks for watching
Welcome back 🥺
Long time good to see a new video. Great work!
nice work tho i wouldnt have used cork due to it only holding 5-6 years ... i would rather use Xaxim for example
This is like the release of a big movie. "Camping outside waiting for the doors to open for the movie premier"
Loving the thoughtfulness and ability to be reproduced in this build
What an amazing piece! One can feel the effort you put in - and it sure paid off! 👍
Thank you so much 😀
This is a work of art, and your attention to every detail!
Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so much 😀
Welcome back! I was on your channel earlier this week rewatching your grow box series to get ideas on what plants to order next. Your videos are extremely well done and just a pleasure to watch, and rewatch again! 😀
I really love that you finally came back to UA-cam, as I was just thinking about your channel a few weeks ago. Personally, I kinda stopped keeping plants, but your videos made me reconsider starting up with the hobby again as its just so peaceful and rewarding, espacially with inspiration from your channel!
Wow, thank you!
Can't wait to see it.
So excited for this! Welcome back, hope you are gonna stay a while!
This was in my recommended and I'm so happy it was! This is the first I've seen from your channel and I love your creativity and how you explain everything. Such a unique idea and it turned out fantastic! I've subscribed and am looking forward to updates on this one. I'm excited to start exploring your channel. Peace.
Waited awhile for this one! So excited! The choice of plants is amazing. I've been trying to source Asplenium holophlebium for a long time but can't find it anywhere.
Welcome back!
incredible, so glad you are making videos again. That cochlidium is insane.
Thank you! Yes, it's one of my fave mini plants. That specimen is many years old.
Welcome back my man ;D Hope more videos will follow soon!
10 plus years ago I remember an orchid lover in Sweden making a branch display similar. It was on Flickr of all places lol
Hi Matthew welcome back!!! I missed your videos and finally here you are! This is a really excellent video and I hope you will make more because I'm a fan and I learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Best regards from Antonella from Parma (Italy)
Awesome build, thank you for sharing your process and methods. I like all your videos, but this one is special because I've admired this set-up ever since I first saw it. Very inspiring, thank you!
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. You've created something really special. I love how "understated" it is, this makes it look very natural. The Bulbophyllum orchid is such a star. Wow wow wow!
Welcome back! Stoked to see this video!
Hi Mate! I just discovered your channel. It's all about the stuff I grew up doing. I'm so glad the art form lives on. Keep up the great content!
Thanks so much for sharing detailed tips and tricks, as well as links on what materials have performed well for you!
Beautiful Work Matt, very inspiring every time I see one of your videos I want to start a new terrarium. Well done keep up the great work
Incredible how much work went into this. But it looks absolutely stunning! Well done!
The pegs are brilliant!
Thank you so much for sharing! :D
High quality build. Great walkthrough. Kudos.
one of the best made tutorials for a terrarium, thx for this :)
I'm happy to see you back, you make great content :)
Wow, this is just insane. What an awesome build, I love it. 😍
Subscribed, you should do a longer reveal at the end to show it off!
Thank you sharing such an inspirational setup. Beautiful 😍. I am an orchid lover, hope to see more mini orchids in your future terrarium setup.
Epic. Can't wait!
The amount of time and thought put into each decision is amazing, it looks great
This is beautiful! Well done!
Thank you for sharing your art again.
You can use a pin/small blade to open the locking mechanism on zip ties to unlock and reuse them.
Very detailed & outstanding!
This is actually a realy cool idea! love it!
Fascinating, and I can see the methods being helpful for future projects. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Yay!! Welcome back!
Really cool.
Love it. 👍
lovely design and very detail explanation
Mannnn what a skill and determination. And no one no one explain step by step better than your Sir. Keep it up. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
Holy damn you are back, and with my favourite build !
Cheers!
You are back 💥
This video popped up in my recommended, and you sir have earned a new subscriber!
wow!!!!!! Absolutely amazing man!! new sub and happy to be here!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent video!
Amazing thanks for sharing
great job.. you know your stuff.. THX man.
Welcome back!~
Yes!! New video!
Thanks for watching, bro
@@AnotherWorldTerraria Of course! Love the videos!
Stunning 😍
wonderful creation
return of the king
Awesome, I wish I had your patience.
Wow! Just found Yr channel, awesome build!
masterpiece!!!
respect! thats hard work
Looks good
Well, that branch made me become a member of your team! Awesome work 😍
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing 😁❗
It’s actually very accurate and good looking
would be cool to have some soil and plants on the ground with some isopods, springtails and small lizards or something in with the branch
Very nice!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Love it
I am so happy with this new video. Welcome back man. Too bad I missed the release with chat. How much time did you give the wood to mold and get ´cured´ before planting?
The result is absolutely stunning. Very good job and excellent tutorial.
thank you! it was about 2.5 weeks in the AWT Mold Cycle Method
I really liked the orchid.
Amazing build! I've been thinking of doing this too but vertically. For a tall tank that I have, maybe like a tree? Not sure how it would work but thanks for the info 👍
Thank you. The one you're thinking about is the branch vivarium by Mikael (I think he owns or at least works for Dusk Tropic). I came up with my idea before I saw his work (as noted in my video), but I did find a lot of inspiration and learning from his project and photos. You could definitely do a vertical tree trunk terrarium.
Absolutely amazing! So glad to see your return to producing videos, I was curious, i might have missed it but did you end up leaving the pc fan running long term? if so, on a timer or consistently on? Thank you!
The fan is in for the long haul. It goes on and off on a digital timer multiple times per day. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Always like your art! I've been doing similar things with ceramic (glass) tile terrariums using my native North Carolina mosses, liverworts, and ferns. I like adding 1/4 inch drains so I don't have to siphon off excess water. Have you used clay in any of your designs yet? I've found it grows ground mosses well on walls.
Thank you! I wanted to use a bulkhead drain in the tank but that would have required a custom stand and I couldn't spend the money for find the space for that. Yes, I used clay in my Crown Forest terrarium. ua-cam.com/video/iG575pp8jgU/v-deo.html
Very inspiring! And so detailed -- so cool. Do you have a tip where to buy plants? E.g. the two Elaphoglossum I couldn't find ..
At this time I generally don't recommend specific sources for plants because there are many sources and many types of plants, so each case varies, but most of my sources are just hobbyists and smaller or private vendors. It also depends where you live. Please check out www.anotherworldterraria.com/faq/#plant-sourcing which is a general summary of the types of sources I use, and has tips on how to build a network of sources for yourself. There are not any specific vendors listed there though. Following the suggestions might help you eventually uncover some sources that work for you. I hope that helps!
Awesome work! I'm really interested what's the care regimen like? You said it's sealed and has a fan. Is misting done by hand only? Is the fine mist only for effect or is it on continuously?
misting by hand with a pump sprayer, often enough to keep the top moss and plants moist. I do it heavily enough to saturate the entire thing so all the moss and branch is dripping water down.
Hey can you do an update on your emersed bucephalandra
Great build! How are you managing moisture in the tank? Manual spraying?
Thanks. Yes, manual spraying when it needs it, drenching the branch heavily. Sealed lid to keep it humid always.
like perfect video
Great setup. I'm gonna try this.. Why not foam the pipe strsight to the Cork?
Thanks. If you mean spray the foam and attach the PVC and the wood right then with the foam, the reason why not is because it would be impossible to control the foam thickness and shape, or to prevent the wood from being displaced.
do u keep the lid on? or off but spray every day
This looks like it could be a good method for planting Neofinetia Falcata orchids
please tell me, will there be a recording? in my region, the actual time will be 4 am :)
Yes, the video will be on my channel permanently just like a normal video, so you can watch any time! Thank you!
@@AnotherWorldTerraria ❤ thank you!
This is beautiful
Thank you for subscribing! I don't sell my projects. I just make them out of love and creativity.
I got an idea. You could put it on a wall and paint the rest of the tree with all kinds of animals that live there. It would look amazing and give it perspective. Would look like you took a piece of the wall and made it real.
Off topic question, how did you pot your Tocache blue selaginella?
Sealed plastic bin, medium-low light, humid, substrate moist but not wet. Substrate is primarily akadama and sphagnum, but has a small amount of charcoal, bark, pumice, and seachem flourite
Do you have a lid on this, or do you keep it open with a fogger to maintain humidity?
It's kept sealed with a lid.
@@AnotherWorldTerraria do you also keep a fogger running in it? Or just open and mist it?
I don't have a fogger running usually. I just do it occasionally, tbh because it looks cool. I just open it to water. Nisting by hand with a pump sprayer, often enough to keep the top moss and plants moist. I do it heavily enough to saturate the entire thing so all the moss and branch is dripping water down.
Fantastic! What did you use for a lid?
Thank you! I was lazy and used saran wrap, but could easily have gotten a piece of acrylic or glass
@@AnotherWorldTerraria yeah, that makes sense thanks. Really cool design
Thank you!
Where is the growing mesh from?
I got the thicker stuff from a friend. Private.
What fabrick did you use please
I don't know. It was sent to me by a friend. It's just some kind of spacer mesh.
Does anyone know how to take care of something like this?
small world😁
how would you water this piece of art?
I use a pump sprayer and just water the entire branch till it's dripping wet, as needed. And mist it with a spray bottle.
do you have a link for the mesh you used?
Sorry, no. I got the material from a friend many years ago.
@@AnotherWorldTerraria no worries
Man that's a lot of mites 14:41
Looks awesome man! looks like the branch took a lot of work i just hope you seriously considered a real branch.
I simply want to ask. Please play Terraria. I would love to see your reaction simply bc ur channel has the name in it
where are the plantz? an so on what
shoulda had vines hanging down
It would be much better to use hardwood instead of cork. Cork will rot and must be replaced in 2-3 years.
long hiatus , glad you notice some isopods eat healthy plants when there nothing to eat , they are not really the perfect bio crew
or you could go to a forest cut a fallen tree with a saw and put it in a tank.
You definitely could. But that's not what I wanted to do. Also that would have a big risk of pests and pathogens. Not to mention it would not look how I wanted.
And I thought mine was cool
Normally i am very friendly to such content, may i had a bad mood, but this made me nerving...how much money...and to have the store who you buy is it?? is not in everones reach maybe... I claim , tell where u buy it.
This is great, thank you
