a closed 25 L Demijohn Terrarium Ecosystem that hopefully lives forever

In this video I created a big enclosed ecosystem in an old wine bottle with a lot of different plants and animals.

Very calming. Looks awesome!

[@glassyGREEN_]

Thank you so much :)

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Quite a lot of patience to get all those in there and looking so good! Well done! 😊

[@glassyGREEN_]

Thank you so much :) I'm looking forward to watching all your videos soon as I haven't had much time for TH-cam lately

[@IndoorEcosystem]

​@@glassyGREEN_ I know the feeling! The NY seems to be a catch up game on everything! This build is one of those ones you could probably leave for 10 years and it will still look great.

[@glassyGREEN_]

This is actually the plan for all of my builds, so that nature can do its thing and it becomes a true ecosystem.
I also had a lot to do with my studies in the last few months 😅
Your new paludarium looks amazing, I can’t wait to watch that video 😊

[@IndoorEcosystem]

@@glassyGREEN_ You're probably looking forward to spring as much as I am I bet! summer holiday time!

Hallo, kannst bitte teilen wo du den Magnet zum Säubern her hast? 😃

[@glassyGREEN_]

Das ist der „Tetra Magnet cleaner Bowl“. Den gibt es bspw. bei Amazon oder auch vielen Aquarienshops. Den findet man bestimmt teilweise auch im Laden :)
Hast du etwas ähnlich vor? 😊

[@TedKeyboardify]

Do you never need to water it again?

[@glassyGREEN_]

In theory yes. Because it is completely closed no water can evaporate. But it will probably leak some over the years and if I do maintenance I will probably have to add a little bit. But it can live like this for years without adding new water.

5:18 You cutted the most difficult part, insert the central plant into the ground....

[@glassyGREEN_]

It was just like the other plants. Digging a small hole and then trying to get it in. It took me quite a while with this one so I thought it would be boring to see all of it 😅
