Native terrarium built with garden weed and wild plants
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2020
- I had this project at the back of my mind for a long time and the opportunity came up during my current visit to my hometown in West Bengal.
So I went ahead and collected some moss, weed and wild plants from my mothers overgrown garden to build a native terrarium. Prior to the build I had actually run a test where I placed some of these plants in a sealed container for 3 weeks. Almost all of them did well. They rooted and flowered giving me the confidence to try them out in a closed terrarium.
Also the springtails culture I am developing here hasn't taken off yet so I closed the terrarium without the springtails.
Components for substrate (soil) mix:
(with amazon links)
-Coco peat (2 parts) amzn.to/3ltoCz6
-Dried moss (1 part) amzn.to/37iCPJW
-Pine bark (1 part) amzn.to/36mbE1x
-Sand or ground gravel (1 part) amzn.to/2JkATbW
Carbon fibre mesh - amzn.to/3g7Jlaq
My Gear:
Camera : amzn.to/3rJnMSd
Tripod : amzn.to/3aQGjoO
amzn.to/3pc7nDW
amzn.to/3qekS7z
Shooting Lights : amzn.to/3qekvdb

A happy smiley is kibd of a
wierd response to a sentence

new age is saving the world😇
Beautiful. I learned that if I'm tired I have to watch your videos with the sound off or a fall asleep watching.
Your videos work like therapy for me. So calm and relaxing. Wish I could learn this from you.
Thank you.
Teacher's is a genius artist. He is the number one terrarium artist.
🙏
Slice of life........so meticulously presented in a glass jar 💚
Thank you
@@TheUrbanNemophilist it looks like a slice of forest like an mini forest.
You have a marvelous sense of design, and a way of making everything look natural. Your creations are wonderful! Thank you for sharing them, and your skill and knowledge.
Thank you 🙏
I’m so addicted to this making terraruim
So elegant! I’d love to see this again in a few months ❤️
Thanks. I will do an update video before I travel back from here.
I would love to see a update of the terrarium I am curious how many of those plants survive... because even I have made a native terrarium and only a few plants survived...so maybe some day in near future make a update video of this all the other terrariums
Sure. Feel free to check out the update videos of my other terrariums too.
This music is sooooo relaxing... Thanks for making this UA-cam Video 🥰 I'm wanting to make a tiny tirrarium with a tiny apple juice glass bottle.
Thank you
I think rainy season will be the best time to collect much more plants.
Very very beautiful and smart
Thanks
Breathtaking I will try and make this. I love your talent .best wishes ❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Really beautiful stuff. It's just keeping it looking like that which is the real challenge for me. I don't mean just keeping it alive, but keeping it looking pristine even once grown in a bit.
I want a garden in India! Oh my God, if we only had those plants here in swampy Holland.
Thank you. I am sure you will be able to find suitable plants in Holland as well😀
We do have the ferns and the clover too. I'f i'm not mistaken, and it is the same clover, it's edible too! It's called Oxalis acetosella and it tastes sour. I'm not sure you can find the others in the wild here but I researched a couple of plants in this video and they can grow here too.
Edit: By "we" I mean the Dutch people. Hello felow Dutchie!
My own dwarf forest 🏕️☺️
Los terrarios son un bosquecito en tus manos...simplemente te transportan a un lugar mágico
Well said

Very nice i like
Thanks
Loved the presentation ❤️
Thank you
Omg this is AWESOME!!!
Thanks
Very nice superbb
Thanks
Hi, such a wonderful video. Could you please share how can I determine the substrate quantity & plant ratio? I had confusion in adding too many/fewer plants comparing the substrate quantity.
Thanks. I just put in enough substrate that I feel the plants would need. Do not really follow any ratio
WAIT. You are an INDIAN!? ME TOO!😃
Can we make a terrarium without spring tails culture? Will the plants still grow? Loved your scene created in the jar.
Thanks. Yes you can make a terrarium without springtails too. Plants will be fine
This is so lovely...
I had made my first terrarium few days back and your videos were a great inspiration and help.
I have couple of questions also.
How big is this glass jar? Is a 1000ml jar the right size?
How much of condensation is optimal coz that indicates the amount of water in the terrarium also. Do you identify over watering through the amount of condensation or is there any other indicator? One of my peperomia just rotted off from the roots in a week's time.
I have failed to breed spring tails in charcol even after 4-5 attempts. They seems to just vanish after 4-5 days. Will be trying again
Thanks. Jar is 1200 ml. Heavy condensation throughout the day is indication of overwatering. Ideally condensation happens during night and morning and clears up during the day. Peperomia is a sensitive plant in terrariums.
Thank you for your detailed reply.
Keep inspiring 🙂
It’s amazing! What type of light are you giving your setups? Thanks in advance
Thanks. White led lights. Video on lighting coming up soon
@@TheUrbanNemophilist not grow light just plain old white led lights?
@@shravanpal9836 i use both
is it ok if the plants touch the glass? I saw somewhere that it can't because droplets could get on the leaves and that would cause the leaves to rot. But there are people who make terrariums and place the plants touching the glass as if there was no problem
Its a good question. I use a lot of aquatic plants in my setups and they fo well when they are touching the glass. For terrestrial plants some are fine touching the glass like the watermelon begonia but Fittonias will not like it. So it is different for every plant. Also depends on the conditions inside the terrarium.
Hi I love ur videos. I want to try one. Where can I buy this bottles with transparent lid?...
Thanks. You can find the buying link of these jars in the description section of this video

Hello I've been wanting to do this recently.
Just a couple of questions. What kind of light or environment do you put them in when testing? Do you ever open it?🤔
P.S I had no idea i was a nemophilist & a dendrophile. The terms at least..😊😁🌲🍀🌱❤
Thank you. Lighting covered here ua-cam.com/video/_3-WPc6n-6A/v-deo.htmlsi=v1W4xAt1bs6RxDLg
destroyed by the mold in 3 weeks hehehe
Two months update

Is there something wrong with the pilea? Or you just prefer not to use it?
It doesn’t work very well in enclosed spaces in my experience
@@TheUrbanNemophilist good to know, thank you!
What material did you use for the net ?
If possible send me a buying link .
You will find the link in the description
Hello, Can we use any good looking plant to create a Terrarium? I don't know the names of any of these plants you are using, and I don't think they are available here in my place too. But I want to create a terrarium. Please help.
Not all plants can thrive in enclosed spaces. You could check out this video for terrarium compatible plants ua-cam.com/video/9NfJ9KbCtg4/v-deo.html
How to collect springtails? Can I find it around my house?
Yes you can find in your garden. Watch my video on springtails
ua-cam.com/video/D6GxODPVe7I/v-deo.html
Can you please tell me where to find the charcoal? Can I make my own?❤️🇦🇺
You can buy from sites like Amazon
Please tell।how to maintain this
You can check out the maintenance and care tips videos on my channel. Thank you
Hi, I wanted a tip.
Are the layers supposed to be kept till 1/4 or half the height of the container?
I made my first terrarium yesterday, the
soil layer crosses above the half line. Is
that okay?
If the jar is tall then it should be ok.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist the jar is ~10.5” tall and the layers cover ~6”
@@iamami_d better to keep it lower next time. Aesthetically it will look good and technically will create more balance within the ecosystem
@@TheUrbanNemophilist should i redo this one or will it work?
@@iamami_d can’t say without seeing it.
What else can I use instead of steal mesh??
I use window screen mesh. You can try muslin. You can watch this video where I have used muslin
ua-cam.com/video/ndaxvp62NQk/v-deo.html
do you still have most of these and are they doing well?
