SerpaDesign, thank you for sharing your awesomeness. I'm always impressed with your videos because they're all of the highest quality and fascinating creativity. Thank you
Yes, that's is what was intended. I bought one of these about 40 years ago for my Grandmother. It came with a plastic fake flower but could be used for other objects in water.
I like how you are genuine and you don't edit out the learning process and little mistakes / solutions to unforseen issues. i really enjoyed watching you make this :)
@@GratefulThird I like youtubers like serpa and antscanada because they show you every step of the process. They dont leave out anything. If you have the same or similar materials you could make almost the exact same setups.
I was thinking the exact same thing..one of my brothers likes to make them, the ship in the bottle I mean..I wonder how this fared now that it's four years on..?
I know this is an old video, but I found a flower aquarium at an estate sale and took it because I knew it'd be a cool terrarium and you mightve done it. And look at that! You have! So excited to do this soon!
I saw a terrarium like this once, but no one could give me any idea how to make it work. That was an incredibly innovative solution. I will have to try this one, but I think I will have to make a couple of tools first.
Wow that is a fantastic piece. I had no idea how you would do that. You must have spent a long time thinking about it. I'm impressed. It looks so good. I am looking forward to seeing it in the future. Nice work.
Currently binge watching as many episodes I can watch!! This is my favourite so far…not only the unique design but the ferns, mosses and wood remind me of my favourite place in England.. the New Forest! :)
Weight it down inside a spherical, landscaped aquarium! Add isopods and marine isopods to the terrarium and aquarium respectively. Get the gang together for a family reunion. :D
Your average shitposter Well obviously you'll have to use some silicon or some sort of aquarium glue to attach it to the bottom of the tank. Then use some substrate to cover up the bottom and you'd have this complete sphere
This is exactly what I was looking for!! I have a glass vase that's shaped like a human head with an opening on the bottom. I had been thinking about making a terrarium with it but had no clue on how to go about doing it. This helps tremendously!
This is GORGEOUS. I wondered if knitting mesh comes in black so I did a search. I found something in black they were calling plastic canvas that looked like the same stuff. Although you did manage to completely hide the mesh in this terrarium, the rest of us might not be quite so skilled so I thought I'd mention the black mesh. ;). Amazing job, it's absolutely beautiful!
I love that you show all the methods you try and even the ones that didn’t work, you kept in the video. It shows how you learn and adapt to solve the puzzle. It’s great.
So cool & creative! I would have never thought of that! Ferns are my favorite type of plant, so I think that automatically makes this my favorite of your terrariums!
At first I was like "There's nooo way that's going to work" the second you said you are going to use silicone to secure the bigger tube in place, I knew what you were doing and that it would work. Now I'm excited and had to pause the video just to say that this is the work of a genius.
We made terrariums like this in grade school. Granted they were complete failures compared to this, but they appeared to have no opening when we were done, and that part was much, much easier than this. Again, as far as looks and quality of the actual work here, I'm making no comparison, since one can't be made. They don't make them anymore, but if anyone remembers the 2 liter bottles of soda, that had the big, black plastic bases, we used those. We'd peel off the base, and then cut the soda bottle in half vertically. We'd then take the bottom, invert it and that would go back onto the base as the top dome. The terrarium, of course, would be made in the base prior to doing so, and it looks like a sealed unit when all done. I was 10 years old, so I'm probably looking back on it with undeserved pride, but in my selective memory it looked really good. I wonder if something similar can be used the same way, to avoid some undo stress. Since then, I've always wanted to get back into doing this. It's really rewarding. Edit: The more I think about it, ours must not have been completely airtight (though the fit was tight), but I'd guess there'd be a solution to fix that.
Each time I have the chance to watch you with your artistic talent it just blows me away. You never cease to amaze your followers. Lynn, Dodge City, KS
I really love watching your tutorials, they are so informative. I cannot wait to try making my own soon. I will always refer to your tutorials to help when I do. This was such a beautiful piece, I love the raw earthy feel to your terrariums, keep up the amazing work ☺️
SO COOL. Thank you for these great videos, and I appreciate that you narrate difficulties/mistakes so if anyone tries to do their own versions, we know what to watch out for!
This is an antique rose globe! You fill the sink, allowing water to completely fill the globe with no air bubbles left. You attached a beautiful open rose (or other flower) to the base, hold the flower under water to allow as many air bubbles to escape as possible, then put the upside down rose into the water-filled globe and screw it on tight!! The rose would be highly magnified and keep for months!!! Gorgeous!! I wish there was a way to show a picture of the one I inherited from my Aunt Opalmae!!
Another awesome video! Great job man, you're doing, everything I'm dreaming. I have a lot of similar ideas, but I just can't find enough time to dedicate to this. I'll send you photos of my creations late on. Anyway, I have tip/suggestion: The hardest part for me is to understand the plants. I know how they look, but i don't know their names or details about them. When you mention plant names, could you also put up a small picture of that plant so it's easier for us to imagine what you're talking about? Also some videos just talking about plants would be awesome. Some areas that I would be interested to find out: identification, light, temperature, soil, planting density, humidity, growth rate, etc. I'd love to find out about each plant and moss species, where it stands on all those subjects. So we can plan our terrariums better. I fell that might help a lot of us beginners to start learning the science behind terrarium building, a little bit of biology / bryology. Anyway I hope you get to read this comment, let me know what you think about the idea.
Ever thought about buying a cake-plate or something similar so you can actually put your smaller projects on a rotating plate to showcase them? I think it'd be more comfortable for you and the appeal to the eye is also higher. Thank you for your work here on TH-cam!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Not only do I admire your work, but also your creativity and skills to solve problems. Keep up the good work.
I absolutely love these videos. The projects are fantastic and the information and instructions are presented in an easy to follow and understand manner. I would love to see a video on picking the right plants for the right project.
Ahh Laura Laura What a wonderful garden. Only a true artist could have pulled this off. Such joy looking at what you guys accomplished. I am from Aussie land where severe frost harm my succies and cacti. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creativity. 💖💖💖💖💖
Mate, you're a terrarium wizard. I've only just entertained myself with the idea of making a few using old coffee jars since I've got a few piling up now, and the idea of low maintenance indoor greenery tickles me in just the right way. Pretty sure I'm just binge watching your videos to give me ideas, though understandably the plant species may vary due to my location. Still, consider me inspired by your work.
You are so imaginative and resourceful. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your creativity, talents, and inspiring us. Have a wonderful holiday season!
Really great job! Very innovative solution for the construction. You are pushing the boundary of what can be done with terrariums, keep up the excellent work.
I love your videos! A couple of friends/neighbors of mine along with my uncle sell moss to a buyer. So I have really gotten into the whole moss thing , I already love nature and it's beautiful landscapes. Yeah so I get excited over a tree or rock that is covered in moss . I want to bring it all home with me (impossible) but now I can bring a little piece of it's serenity inside my house. This is a genius idea! Love it !
Wow! What a beautiful and unique terrarium. Great job! I would like to give so many more likes than 1! For the idea, the execution, everything. Thank you for making this amazing video!
Great video! I always love watching your videos, very inspirational and relaxing! and as a nature lover myself I really appreciate the respect you have for all the plants and all while creating these scapes :)
This is a genius build. I've actually done something similar for my functional aquarium ring (yes, it functions both as a livestock-free aquarium and as a finger ring, and no, water fleas didn't even survive in it). I also used a similar method on one of my aquariums too, but that was for creating a basement for detritus to accumulate in it in order to minimize any look of malm (it's a bowl aquarium on a Lazy Susan base and the malm used to float more, now it gets directed towards the middle)
Big thumbs up on this one! It's funny, I actually did something very similar to this only a couple days before you posted this, but it was with a burnt out streetlight light bulb. I just cut the threads off with a lapidary wheel, removed the guts and put a small fern w/ moss inside it. It's very therapeutic to solve little puzzles like this! Great video!
Great video. I use a turkey baster to water my terrarium and it works great. I think that would have worked when you were trying to water your substrate before adding the center plants/moss.
Since this is 2 years old you won’t see this but I have to say that was a cool idea! Enjoyed watching you put this together. Wonder if you still have it? Will check some newer videos to see if I can spot it anywhere. Thanks for doing that!!!
Want to make a terrarium that appears not to have an opening? Then this is the video for you! See the video description for more details.
Crazy suggestion!
Could you try making a Terrarium inside a Terrarium! I think that would be really cool!
You know Terrariumception
Halo CE Magnum Damn, thats pretty crazy. Lol
SerpaDesign, thank you for sharing your awesomeness. I'm always impressed with your videos because they're all of the highest quality and fascinating creativity. Thank you
i remember you said on your reptile room tour and you said you would do this great design :)
I've got it several times before actually and do intend to do something like it, but slightly different!
probably one of the most attractive terrariums you ever showed us. The absence of any sort of opening makes the setup really clean and nice to look at
Normally you fill it with water with the plants inside and the water magnifies the blossoms inside.
Oh that makes sense, no wonder I wasn't seeing any magnification.
Yes, that's is what was intended. I bought one of these about 40 years ago for my Grandmother. It came with a plastic fake flower but could be used for other objects in water.
I like how you are genuine and you don't edit out the learning process and little mistakes / solutions to unforseen issues.
i really enjoyed watching you make this :)
I heartily agree. I love watching your small false starts, problem-solving, and persistence.
@@GratefulThird I like youtubers like serpa and antscanada because they show you every step of the process. They dont leave out anything. If you have the same or similar materials you could make almost the exact same setups.
Ship in a bottle - gardening edition.
_Mission Success_
XD
Simple, raise the sails after you put it in, ship in a bottle
I was thinking the exact same thing..one of my brothers likes to make them, the ship in the bottle I mean..I wonder how this fared now that it's four years on..?
2 mill subs and he will 😂
I know this is an old video, but I found a flower aquarium at an estate sale and took it because I knew it'd be a cool terrarium and you mightve done it. And look at that! You have! So excited to do this soon!
Really clever approach with a sick looking result! Definitely unique.
I could see myself playing with nature like this: one day when there is no work. Of course that happens seldom though...
"I found a way to plant a garden inside of a dirt sealed container"
I must get another beer before i watch this wizardry
I saw a terrarium like this once, but no one could give me any idea how to make it work. That was an incredibly innovative solution. I will have to try this one, but I think I will have to make a couple of tools first.
It's amazing, the little world's you make!
Wow that is a fantastic piece. I had no idea how you would do that. You must have spent a long time thinking about it. I'm impressed. It looks so good. I am looking forward to seeing it in the future. Nice work.
You should do guide's on propagating and keeping alive a category of plants like one episode be creeping figs and another bromeliads
^ would watch that.
Currently binge watching as many episodes I can watch!! This is my favourite so far…not only the unique design but the ferns, mosses and wood remind me of my favourite place in England.. the New Forest! :)
Apoxi it so it's completely sealed and tie it too a small weight and put it in a fish tank
That would be awesome in the bottom of the fish tank two world's in one
Weight it down inside a spherical, landscaped aquarium! Add isopods and marine isopods to the terrarium and aquarium respectively. Get the gang together for a family reunion. :D
I tried sadly wont work wait or not it still floats
Your average shitposter Well obviously you'll have to use some silicon or some sort of aquarium glue to attach it to the bottom of the tank. Then use some substrate to cover up the bottom and you'd have this complete sphere
@serpadesign Is this possible?
This is exactly what I was looking for!! I have a glass vase that's shaped like a human head with an opening on the bottom. I had been thinking about making a terrarium with it but had no clue on how to go about doing it. This helps tremendously!
Good.......

I love this guy. He's like a mad scientist but.. a not so mad scientist. 😏
mad botanist!!
Vnifit Indeed. 😊
So cool & creative! I would have never thought of that! Ferns are my favorite type of plant, so I think that automatically makes this my favorite of your terrariums!
I enjoy all of the terrariums that you make, but this has to be one of my favorites. It is so amazing! I will never get tired of watching your videos.
That was inspiring to watch! It was like building a ship in a bottle. I loved when the center part rose into position at the end.
the "contraption" is called a frog. Love your work! You are so creative! Thanks for sharing!
Best explanatory video on TH-cam ... makes me think I could actually do this project .. but I'm not going to fool myself ... well done
At first I was like "There's nooo way that's going to work" the second you said you are going to use silicone to secure the bigger tube in place, I knew what you were doing and that it would work.

I could feel the frustration in this video. I admire his strength in being able to continue going on.
This might be the prettiest one ever, certainly the most impressive! What a challenge! Can't wait for the update.
I really love watching your tutorials, they are so informative. I cannot wait to try making my own soon. I will always refer to your tutorials to help when I do. This was such a beautiful piece, I love the raw earthy feel to your terrariums, keep up the amazing work ☺️
SO COOL. Thank you for these great videos, and I appreciate that you narrate difficulties/mistakes so if anyone tries to do their own versions, we know what to watch out for!
i've always wanted to have terrariums in my life and i love your channel! This was a fun find and glad i watched it
This is amazing! I love how much effort you put into your videos.
innovative! loved when you were like:
¨it´s almost like I need a hook. Here, I´ll make one.¨
Very clever design! I was trying to figure out how you would do this!
This is an antique rose globe! You fill the sink, allowing water to completely fill the globe with no air bubbles left.

Aw, man! I was going to look for updates on how it looks later and I realized you just posted this today. LOL You are industrious, for sure!
same xD
I mean, it's been two years, we should start looking for an update 😁
Im still trying to see how often it needs water
Another awesome video! Great job man, you're doing, everything I'm dreaming. I have a lot of similar ideas, but I just can't find enough time to dedicate to this. I'll send you photos of my creations late on.

This is still one of my favourite builds you've done, absolutely stunningly beautiful.
This guys patience is phenomenal. How can you not like this dude.
This is one of the coolest channels on TH-cam.
Ever thought about buying a cake-plate or something similar so you can actually put your smaller projects on a rotating plate to showcase them? I think it'd be more comfortable for you and the appeal to the eye is also higher.
Thank you for your work here on TH-cam!
Yeah a few people suggested it months back and I plan on getting one. I just haven't got around to it yet.
That is really beautiful. Thank you for making that. I like how genuine you are in your building learning as you go. You do wonderful work!
This was the first Serpa video I ever watched. Just watched again, still one of my favorite terrarium builds.
Dude, I am addicted to your channel! These living works of art are amazing.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Not only do I admire your work, but also your creativity and skills to solve problems. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for going through all that for our viewing and experimental (educational) pleasures. Awesome little terrarium
It's funny. As you explain the magnifying effect, it "de-magnifies" your face whenever it goes on front.
This video was so relaxing... Thank you for this wonderful time, it is so inspiring!
I'm really excited for this terrarium's update! Hope it continues to do well!
your amount of patience is outstanding honestly i already stressed out just watching this. i would have just given up while cleaning the inside
Tanner, you are a terrarium genius!! Thanks so much for sharing this great content! All the best!!
Excellent footage at the end. Great camera. Ive always wondered how to make one, so thank you!
I absolutely love these videos. The projects are fantastic and the information and instructions are presented in an easy to follow and understand manner. I would love to see a video on picking the right plants for the right project.
I like to see you trying new stuff it worked out great! I cant wait to see an update in 6-12 months
me too!
Wow that was amazing. The shot of the ferns moving up was really cool. Good job
Great video, I've also had the idea of doing a bowl terrarium but didn't know how to, gonna try the idea you used too. Keep up the great work!
30:35 looks so cool as the fern emerges!
Well done! Excellent techniques and ingenuity used to overcome the difficulty.
Ahh Laura Laura

I used to do collage on the reverse of glass and your project reminded me of this. Difficult but satisfying when you work through the problems.
You are so imaginative and resourceful. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your creativity, talents, and inspiring us. Have a wonderful holiday season!
This was so fascinating to watch! Thank you man! Very tempted to try my own now!
This is my new favourite terrarium. I look forward to seeing how it develops :)
Really great job! Very innovative solution for the construction. You are pushing the boundary of what can be done with terrariums, keep up the excellent work.

You're incredibly intelligent!
I knew this day would come.
Alexander Supertramp are you a fan of into the wild?
I saw this film in my class Haha. Im from Germany 🌱
Wow! What a beautiful and unique terrarium. Great job! I would like to give so many more likes than 1! For the idea, the execution, everything. Thank you for making this amazing video!
You are incredibly creative. AWESOME. Thank you sooo much for all you share
That's really clever, well done. It's beautiful !
I made my first one. It is ok for my first. I love watching you
Great video! I always love watching your videos, very inspirational and relaxing! and as a nature lover myself I really appreciate the respect you have for all the plants and all while creating these scapes :)
I'm going to be making a giant version of this soon, such a useful and interesting video 💚
I loved watching the ferns appearing through the middle. 😍
You're incredibly ingenious. Love this!
Wow, that one came out amazing! Though it looked like quite the nightmare to build. Awesome work!
VERY cool! I'm excited to see an update on this one.
I like that you showed the things you tried and what worked. Good job
You're such an artist, making living art 💚🌱
Amazing work. You’re an artist. Keep them coming
Amazing work putting this terrarium together. Would love to see an update on it down the road to see how it has grown etc
You really are the master at creating terrariums 🌱🌱🌱
wow... a true labour of love - well done ! these are truly inspirational - thanks v. much : )
wow I really enjoyed watching this, it turned out very cool! you have inspired me so much since I subscribed - thank you

I loved this!!! you did a great job tbh. Gives me loads of incentive to make a mossarium!
That's really cool. Good job!
Wow, definitely doing this if I find one of these containers at a garage sale!
Thanks for sharing this video, I will try and do one with an orchid. You make it seem so easy, but I will struggle I am sure , simply amazing!
your channel is amazing, I made three terrariums thanks to you
I love to watch these being made! Can't wait to try one on my own :)
Since this is 2 years old you won’t see this but I have to say that was a cool idea! Enjoyed watching you put this together. Wonder if you still have it? Will check some newer videos to see if I can spot it anywhere. Thanks for doing that!!!
Really enjoy watching your videos. I’m for sure going to try making a sealed ecosphere this spring.
I was holding my breath for you at the very end! lol.. It came out wonderfully!
You have the patience of Job and it paid off. Beautiful. Thanks.
That turned out really awesome! Great job
I just bought one of those glass balls at goodwill for .50 cents. Now I know what I can use it for ! Thanks for working it out for us lol.
Awesome! Nice find!
