I loved this video. It was very helpful as a novice terrarium builder. What I loved more was never seeing the cat but seeing his pin straight tail at the beginning and the end of the video. Thank you :)
Hi Nick! Your terrarium turned out really pretty. I like that you did a smaller one that more of us would be able to work into our spaces. Please show an update later. Thank you for sharing!
Hi nick. Thanks for sharing with us your advices. You are always so honest and explain everything so easily. I am Italian, not English speaker, but love watching your videos because your explanations are always clear and simple. Thanks 🙏I will be happy to try to do a terrarium 😊
Beautiful terrarium Nick, I love the plants you chose, and I love the moss and rocks as a top dressing, in a terrarium I don't like seeing the top soil, this way it just looks so beautifully finished off, I do like to add little statues and crazy little things, but then what ever floats your boat, lol. Thanks this was a super fun video with a lot of great tips, I especially liked the pot that coralled the charcoal till you were ready to add the soil.
You explain things wonderfully, you would make an excellent teacher! The terrarium is also beautiful! I truly enjoy all your videos, but I have an extra appreciation for you instructional vids. Please keep them coming and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
What are the care tips for a terrarium? Do you water with a spray bottle or watering can, how often, is fertilizer necessary; lastly, do u have to worry about mold on on the artificial moss?
omg this is 3yrs old already but incase anybody have the same question. For watering, it's depends on your type of terrarium. eg: closed terrarium needed only once a month using a spray because the water can circulate itself (usually you use plant that can stand high moisture) . look at the stone underneath, make sure theres only a thin film of water. more than that is too much. open terrarium depends on the plants water requirement. remember to choose plants with similar water requirements. for mold you dont have to worry too much because the charcoal can take care of that and its important to not overwatering to avoid mold. i cant say much about fertilizer. i dont use it and my plants are still nice.
Beautiful! Enjoyed watching! A suggestion - have you tried using a pair of chopsticks to place your plants and fiddle the soul and stones in place? The extra long ones work well! I feel hands take up space and there is a likelihood of leaves breaking off....I would be upset if that happened to me, a beginner! 😊
Great video with instructions and explanation! My main question: is where do you get the plants for the terrarium? I’ve tried the large hardware stores but come up short. Most are large, not small. Thanks in advance!
I assume this is to be a closed terrarium? As this is for beginners it would be a good idea to make it clear that the bowl has to have a lid of some kind.
Hiya! New subscriber here. Question: could I put an open terrarium in a very low light spot if I get a led daylight lamp to hang above it? I can't use lamps that emit UV radiation. Thank you!
What makes me sad is that I watched your summer 2019 houseplant tour and this terrarium was neglected. I have to admit that I have been guilty of this as well. But I love that episcia and (misidentified?) Begonia thelmae. Neither plant is readily available in just any plant shop or nursery. Love your videos Nick, looking forward to your comprehensive Cissis rapens video! ;)
Oooh now I want to make terrarium. Off to the thrift shop to find a goldfish bowl. Do you have issues with pests in terrariums because the plants are so tightly packed?
I want to make a terrarium sooooo badly with my pilea depressa that I have but I’m unsure of what plants to pair with it! Do you have any suggestions??
I love that you have standards for terrarium surface decor, live your truth!
I actually feel very confident watching your video. Thank you!

Thanks Nick, this was so detailed and informative. Now I gotta go forage for some plants in the rainforest and build me a terrarium
Your cat during this video 😂

The cat tail at the end 🤣😍
Great video! Thank you so much!
You know you're getting older when you get excited about sheet moss lol
My husband surprised me with sheet moss 😂 I was so excited too
Or consult youtube on boring terranium stuff 🤣🤣
LOL to the cat tail popping up next to the terrarium at the end of the video! The terrarium turned out beautiful.
I would really like to see a video on good choices in terrarium plants. Maybe something with a 10 or 12 kind of thing.

My best friend, Wonderful upload! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
I came for the terrarium, I stayed for the cats tail 😹

So that was a docu-comedy! The CatsTail was was the greatest! But TY for the info to!

Your cats tail though 🤣🤣🤣 18:00
Fun video Nick! What about a LIDDED glass container? I thrifted one recently to make a terrarium.
I like the Teraruium looks fantastic. Can you please explain what soil mix you have used. Thanks.
It turned out great!
That cat tail at the end 😆😆😂😂😂
I would love you to do another terrarium video or more than one 😅 on more advance or on water ones 🤩 thank you so much for your great contents
That cat!
Love the outcome! But I have to give it to that grey alien tentacle at the end of your video 😂😍
Great video with instructions and explanation!

Thank you. Love your videos.
Love this, very informative and great timing too!
I work at a balloon store and we also made the bundles in odd numbers bc it looks better
I’m not familiar with preserved moss. Does it come back to life? How does it stay green?
It stays green because it has no lignin. It is dead
Eu adorei, ficou lindo - Vou fazer um deste aqui na minha casa.
Adorável teu gato, eu também tenho gatos.
Thank you!
Saudações do Brasil!

This is awesome!
I just got a pellionia pulchra and have been wondering where to put it. Maybe I should make a terrarium!
Thank you. I was just thinking about making a terrarium.
I’ve been collecting a few things so I can do one too!!!
Why don’t you use live mosses?
Ah, I see you payed attention to *SerpaDesign* 😘
Oooh now I want to make terrarium. Off to the thrift shop to find a goldfish bowl. Do you have issues with pests in terrariums because the plants are so tightly packed?
Can I use recycled aquarium charcoal in place of horticultural charcoal?
Hi Nick! Can I replace the charcoal with clay pebbles?
Can you use insect in the terrarium. I watched one in USA and he put bugs in his. Just starting and would like to know your thoughts
Beautiful
Kitty's tail! Lmao! I love it!
BiOrb should send you a terrarium
The cat!
Can you use live pillow moss?
Does it work in airconditioned room?
Could I use live moss from my garden?
I think spraying would rot the episcia leaves
my exact thought
I want to make a terrarium sooooo badly with my pilea depressa that I have but I’m unsure of what plants to pair with it! Do you have any suggestions??
You can put hoyas in.
afraid that my pilea does not like wet leaves---couldn't use it.
Need pestiside? Because so moist down there? Tq
🌹
dead moss seems so pointless
nice cat lol
it's a flame violet
Looks like an asparagus fern to me
Everyone: oh cute a cat tail
Me: Ahhh a snake!!
Great video, Nick! Tell me, can real moss found in the woods be used in a terrarium?
Yes. Serpa Design on TH-cam is an expert on terrariums. You should checkout his channel.
I love your videos. When the cat is begging for attention please show his face to us. Most of us are also cat people.
At the very least you cant kill the moss even if you accidentally kill everything else 😂
