In this video I have built a closed terrarium using a planted piece of driftwood. Epiphytic plants were used for this build and hence no soil was necessary for rooting of the plants. However the terrarium will need to be fertilised from time to time in order to provide nutrients for the plants to keep them healthy and growing.

Plants used:
Sheet Moss
Cushion Moss
Bolbitis Difformis
Anubias Nana
Pellionia Repens
Selaginella Uncinata

Very nice scape! I also bought a couple of Anubias Nana Petite recently and love it for its dark green leaves, which are also small and cute. By the way, I also bought some HC Cuba aqua carpeting plant. I try to grow it emersed in some terrarium soil to later plant it in my big terrarium build as well as in my aquarium. But even if it establishes emersed in my propagation container I still wonder if it will grow well in a non-air-tight terrarium because it seems that in order to grow it emersed it requires every day misting. I've seen this guy on TH-cam, he has grown HC Cuba very well inside a terrarium few times. Have you tried growing aquatic carpeting plants inside a terrarium or maybe propagated them emersed? Because I see that you have a different kind of unique style of building scapes when some others try to replicate a jungle look

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

I have used Monte Carlo in my terrariums. Haven’t had much success with Cuba emersed

This is a beautiful display. Question- do you need to mist it regularly and if so how often? I just can't get over the setups you create and hoping you do more, thumps up!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. Yes I will have to mist it once in a while and also spray in nutrients for the plants. Aquatic and moisture living plants in here so the extra moisture will be good. Please note watering for every terrarium is different depending on size, type of setup and plant species used. Some can run many months without any watering at all.

[@brazentree]

wow, so good :0

Love the videos! Where do you get your glass jars with that steel/glass lid? Love the look and it's great to get light in them!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. The jars are from Amazon.

[@timbrooks8690]

I'm curious do you ever not have to water it once it's finished?

can green nerve plant survive in water

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Most plant species can be grown in water using hydroponic methods.

Whenever I'm using drift wood im closed terrarium I'm facing mould and algae issues. Please advice how to get rid of the this.

Mold and algae are part of an ecosystem and not always harmful unless goes out of control.

[@qWenzou]

Boiling water shouldve fixed it, but i would definitely add some springtails and/or isopods. Flip over dead leaves or rocks and you'll find many.

[@xxBlindDollxx]

How long do the springtails survive like this? I have some but they live in a vivarium with a gecko and his food for nourishment.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Their lifespan is 3-4 weeks. They will survive the period. If they do not breed then the colony will eventually perish. By that time terrarium would have settled and mold issues resolved if any.

[@apc7716]

And how to manage mold on freshly New terrarium with springtails ?

yes it is nana

Yes

[@-kilian-6217]

How can I catch springtails ?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

You can make a simple trap using a bottle, charcoal and dry yeast and place it in a dark and shady location in your garden.
