Make a Terrarium w/ Local Materials (Native Terrarium) - How To Terrarium ep.3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- This is the Third episode of, How to Terrarium. In this episode, you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make an all natural Native Terrarium. We will call this a native terrarium because all of the items that it is made of are found locally or native to you. This video is long, but it explains things in depth.
Eventually we will go over how to make terrariums suitable for reptiles/amphibians. You could use the principles explained in this video, to create one on your own. However, some of the things done in this are not optimal for larger setups.
Difficultly Level: Beginner
A closed native terrarium is pretty easy to care for and are cheap to make. They require minimal watering and aren't demanding in other aspects. The difficultly in this terrarium comes with making proper plant selections. Even still, don't get discouraged if yours doesn't work out right the first time, it takes practice and patience.
A final thing to mention, is that your terrarium will likely mold. This usually happens shortly after your enclosure is first setup. It is very normal and will go away within a few weeks.

When I was collecting moss, I came across an empty snail shell! I put it in my terrarium and it added a lot to it.
Hey Tanner. I just wanted to say that you are a great inspiration and teacher. I discovered your channel about a couple years ago and fell in love with the world of terreriums, ripariums, paludariums, aquariums and pretty much every other -arium since then lol. I've always wanted to work with nature and after discovering you, and your channel, I was inspired to start my own business building terrariums and aquascapes. It hasn't gotten off the ground yet but I'll let you know when it does! Anyways, the point of this whole comment was to tell you that thanks to you, I started on this journey, and I built my first native terrarium just day before yesterday. The joy I felt was soo immense, this comment box doesn't have space for the words I would use to describe it. It was such a positive and uplifting experience for me, in soo many ways, to see that all the studies I've been doing on botany as well as my passion can be manifested into this simple little jar of plants from around my home. It signified for me, the first step in a much greater journey of finding myself and building a business/career I can enjoy and love. So... THANK YOU TANNER!
I just read this all
@@IdkImCalledStupid I love your handle.
How's terrarium building going now?
I've had my eye on this patch of fluffy moss in the courtyard at work and I totally harvested some yesterday. It's in a clear container for the moment but I prepped it like in your video and I'm excited to hunt for more moss to do a terrarium!
I really like this video. Even though it’s older, it goes over way more while also getting straight to the point. Something that the newer videos don’t even do
Do you think you could do a basic "diagnostic" vid to help those of us whose terrariums are not doing so well? My class and I built some after watching your vids, and some are OK ,others not. Could you do a vid focusing on errors or incorrect conditions (eg. too much/little water, too much moss on top, too much/little sun, etc) and the effects they have on the plants? It would help greatly. Thanks, and keep it up!
I totally agree. Did you happen to find a video about this? I haven't seen everything of serpa yet.
You have an entire class of people doing it, that's a lot of data. Maybe if you do it next time, take notes about the conditions and how they turn out and you'd have yourself a helluva how-to on upkeep

For any ideas or things that you would like me to discuss in the future, reply to this comment.
I love this idea, don't you worry that the soil might contain tiny insects and you end up with tiny flies or something in the terrarium?
Even if this occurs (which is likely), since it's a closed terrarium it's not something to worry about. They will eventually die off. Worst case you could take your terrarium outside, open the lid and they fly out.
I love your videos! I made a terrarium by following your closed tropical terrarium video, but unfortunately I don't have any access to springtails (yet). It has started to mould, and while I know this isn't something to be worried about, I can't find very good information about it anywhere, so I don't know what to expect or how to tell if it's moulding for too long or too excessively. Could you make a video explaining this process with and without springtails? Thank you so much!
Without springtails it should last about a month or so. I can definitely do a video on it here soon. Try airing it out for a few hours here and there. It should help solve the problem faster!
SerpaDesign Will do, thank you! Cant wait to see more videos :)
I made one and one of the sticks I used started growing feathers the first week.. now I realize they are roots, as the stick must have been a disinterred root. There's no foliage yet, so I don't know what I'm growing in there. It kind of makes it even more fun. Snails have also arrived. I didn't see them when I was putting it together.
How is your bird doing these days?

SerpaDesign I didn't think any youtuber with a decent amount of subscribers also live in PA
omg i live in pa too
Scientific WhiteFoxy the rocks stop the dirt sitting in water and going bad and wrecking the ecosystem
I would encourage a gentle harvest of moss and lichen as many varieties take many years to grow in the wild. Be nice to the forest ❤
Did you see my moss propagation video? I said pretty much this exact thing.
of course I'm sure you knew that it was just mentioning it for people who want to try it
@@Lady_Sicely This last weekend I went to collect moss on a local trail and noticed that there were patches totally ripped off by someone :( Because of this I avoided to collect moss at all in that trail.
Agreed. Fortunately for me, my back yard has plenty of mosses. No worries about over harvesting.
I'm in Saudi Arabia and that native plants here grow huge there are no small moss or plants
Got a terrarium for the holidays, and been searching for hours for exotic, non-native plants, etc. Even though I see my local beauty around every day. So, now I know how to enjoy my gift(s). Thanks!
I've never seen anything so uniquely beautiful! I'm so interested in this amazing hobbies. it's so humble and I'm completely in love! I would love to learn more and hopefully replicate something similar in the UK.
I love to hear the words "Western Pennsylvania"!! I'm from Pittsburgh, but I've been living and working over here in Thailand for the past 18 years. Sure do miss those woods, valleys, rivers and especially the hills of western PA! Nice vid and channel.
I just found my new hobby :O
The Vegan Wallflower It's addictive and now my grandkids are addicted too. 😀
The Vegan Wallflow
You may want to sell them. I did years ago, they sold very well. If you have a forest nearby they are practically free to make. Just need the containers. Go for it !!!
Hundredth like from me.

I've been watching these videos for about a year only to find out today on your website you are from near by. Its awesome to see people around here making the set ups you do!
Western Pennsylvania is so beautiful!! I made a native Florida terrarium as my first project a few days ago. The storm left all kinds of coco fiber looking stuff around along with palm bark for additional texture. I want to do a bigger version of the same concept with springtails and roly-polies.
I enjoyed the supermarket muzac. It's corny, sure, but sometimes it just works. I love your work. What a talent
Its kinda cool you all just have these stuff all around, all I have is concrete...
joesr31 Same

Look for the plants that grow in cracks of the pavement. They're tough little buddies
Aurora Eve those are weeds
@@GooningAddict69 Weeds are just plants
I am really inspired to do this but I live in Canada and at the moment everything is frozen, dead and covered in 2 feet of snow
same!
Yup.
Raven Razor the struggle is real
make a snow terrarium, i cultivated snow in a terrarium for a year now. I will have to trim it a little its getting quite big
Raven Razor same
Thank you for your channel! Just made my first terrarium two days ago with native plants (Antwerp, Belgium). It looks awesome and i am noticing some new plants growing!
You were recommended to me today while I was researching materials sources for making my first terrarium. I'm 3 videos in and already have learned more than hours of the random reading I have done. Thank you for such a wonderful resource.
Another great video. One thing to keep in mind is removing plants and even stones from some areas might be illegal, national parks etc. Also some plants may be protected so can't be taken from anywhere. And some aren't protected but should be. Some of the most beautiful things here in Indonesia are up for grabs but should be protected and back home in NZ there are amazing carnivorous plants and orchids that would be amazing in terrariums but can't be touched. Keep up the good work, bro. Your creations are beautiful.
Excellent presentation thank you very much. I can tell that you really love what you’re doing and it was great seeing you just enjoying yourself to make an excellent conversation
I been thinking for a while now buying some plants for my apartment. I was looking for something really special and i found it! Thanks buddy! :)
This is one of my passions!! I'm an environmental science major and I'm absolutely obsessed with creating ecospheres. also, are you single?! LOL
He is married, tough luck
Im gonna start making them and selling them because I'm a landscaper and throw away tons of plants that could be enclosed
Just started making native terrariums for native insects I find , it’s awesome to observe ecology and biology symbiotically
Gracias! !! Por mostrar esto tan hermoso una muestra de amor por la naturaleza. Tanto cuidado y esfuerzo me inspira a crear mis propias obras y sentir amor por las plantas un abrazo muy fuerte desde Colombia donde hay tanta variedad de fauna.
I grew up in the countryside and moved to a larger city to study. Your videos really make me miss my real home, I guess I'm just not made for citylife. I really miss having woods around me.
I understand, I could never live in the city. The more rural, the better!
Such a nice idea! It's important to avoid picking or damaging rare plants in your area though, so make sure you look them up and watch your step!
after planning on doing this forever, i finally made 2 during quarantine! thanks for the helpful video
How'd they turn out?
Your channel is inspiring me to be creative in ways I hadn't even considered before, thank you!
At 6.00 that red leave ......is just wow .....!
I live three hours away from Pennsylvania so I wouldn't have that different of plants this is an awesome video I am going to try it in the summer!
It's just mesmerizing to watch you build it. Now I'm starting to create my own ones. Thank you very much for sharing this content with us!
Duude this is a wonderful idea, i've been thinking about what to put in my terrarium that I just had sitting here for a while, meanwhile the answer was in front of me the whole time!
I followed this video and my terrarium has been going for 3 months today! I'm planning on making one using stuff from the river banks today! Great video.
Topsoil underneath leaves of great because it’s typically high in microbial and beneficial soil organisms. Also because it’s in the process of decomposing the leaf litter which literally recycled nutrients back into the topsoil
Fantastic videos! Keep them coming. I think I'll try this as soon as it stops raining here in Portland, Oregon. It would be so much fun to trade terrariums with other people in the US, but some states frown on trading plants across borders.
Hi, thanks for this video it's really inspired me. I live in the uk & we have beautiful old forests all around full of moss. I've already ordered a big biscotti jar from Amazon & can't wait to get started. I also love orchids succulents & cactus, my home is a bit like a small jungle 🤗
I I love the idea of gathering local plants and material
By watching this i am now inspired to make one. Thank u 😊
You are a great teacher. You make complex problems most simple and interesting. I'm forced to subscribe you. Hope you don't change. May you keep climbing heights.
man's greatest accomplishment: taking nature hostage
Lol!
splendid video!please i beg you. keep them coming :)

Thank you so much for the instruction! Cheepest, easiest project I have ever done and I am very pleased with the local plants I found just around my neighborhood
Buddy i love the quality of your content considering you have 1.6k subs. Keep going with this passion, its cool
Thanks, I do the best I can with what I've got!
I bought a jar for my first terrarium today, I'm very excited to start!
How did it go?
Speed on 1.25 and You sound so smooth :D
Oh no I did this 😂
i thought you said 0.125 for a second
Just found your channel and I just have found an interest in terrariums. Great timing! Keep up the good work, love your videos
Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to be building one of these are soon as I get the screen.
😍
Nothing beats enjoying my morning coffe, while watching one of your videos, keep it up!
I thought the plants looked familiar! I live near Pittsburgh, and I’m a botanist! I love your videos and I’m starting my own terrariums/vivariums/& propagation setups. Your videos and craftsmanship are pretty remarkable and you can really tell its a labor of love. I have a PA native terrarium (29 gal) right now, and I’m about a month in. I don’t have animals in it, so I pretty much followed a lot of this video (and the one for free). Anyhow, love the work and keep it up. Also, if you could point me in the direction of some hypnomoss in the area, it would be much appreciated!
I’m watching from England and I love this. Woodland bottled it’s wonderfully creative.
This so cool but I want you to show the same terrarium after a week or so. I think that will inspire more of us to do this.
Thank you!! Clear directions, easy to follow!
Sou seu fã... Parabéns por esse belo trabalho!!!
Pernambuco - Brasil
Great video, man. I'm really inspired to make a terrarium thanks to these videos. Me and and a friend will make one in a few months. Keep up the good work!
You have the best music in your videos. OMG I'm obsessed with the guitar music in step 3. What is it, please?
Seriously, I'd love to know too
Condensation inside the container happens when the glass is colder than the air inside the container. Since relative humidity inside is very constant and close to 100%, condensation appears whenever the glass is colder. As soon as temperature balances out condensation disappears.
Thank you so much for the detail in this video. I’m gonna set up a foraging bag with all the supplies you mentioned.
Beautiful! Thank you so much I been dreaming for moths but all the info was way to advance for me! Lovely that you share the basics with us 💞 I want a Totoro terrarium so badly
Dude I just saw your channel and HAD to sub. Love these videos and thank you for making them.
I would think it best to get the plants first and find the soil after. Maybe the soil close to the plants and the heavy rocks last. That way you are not carrying the rocks for the entire time you look for plants
To order doesn't matter. That's just how the items were gathered on my part.
Thats logical.
Oh no those horrible heavy pebbles 😂😂
I also live in western PA! Some of the prettiest foliage I've ever seen
First of all: Amazing channel, I've just found a new thing to help me relax. Saw this video last night and immediately went gathering materials this morning to create a few terrariums. I have one question: Now in winter, the temperature in my flat drops by a lot when I open the windows for a bit. The terrariums begin to film up inside and it won't go away for hours. Is that a problem?
man, your videos are amazing, just loving all the process through, thanks for sharing these amazing ways to make a Terrarium!!!
this is sooo awesome!! can't wait to start my own!!
I am obsessed with this
Awesome video very helpful! I'm preparing for my first terrarium. Best video I've seen 👍
As i commented in another video, i think your work is amazing. i think im going to convert my ex fishtank into a native terrarium. thanks for the great ideas
You always make it look so easy! Your creations always look so good. Thanks for all the info.
these videos are so soothing to watch, thank you
Very cool. Cheers for sharing your knowledge and passion. All the best , mate.
This is a really nice idea. Your native terrarium turned out very lovely! Thanks for the idea!
Lordy how I love this channel!
Awesome video! :-) I'll start building one as soon as I can get my hands on a jar this big.
Great camera work dude! Love the channel. Just the right amount of information. Thank you.
Subbed, my 12 year old son found your channel as he was trying to learn some stuff. He wanted to get a frog or lizard of some kind. Glad he found this!! Caused the re awakening of my Dutch heritage green thumb. I've always love seeing terrariums. Now you're giving me the ability to do it. Thanks!!! And I don't even need animals. Now my son is upset that I'm pirating his idea!! LoL
superbly done and explained
Your a great teacher. Very informative! You gave me soooo many ideas. Can't wait to get started.
Have you ever looked into adding small snails? They're so interesting to watch!
hey my man thanks 🙏 for these videos. ur Terrariums are great and I applaud your passion… My plan is to make one of these with my grandson today.
Your video is great! Thanks for all your effort knowledge sharing! Im about to make my first Terrarium in Nsw Australia. Feeling very inspired and excited about foraging for and using native plants. Thank you!!!!
Thanks and best of luck to you!
I knew your local environment looked super familiar! I'm just over the eastern border in Jersey!
Thanks for all this amazing info. I came across one of your videos and learned these existed. I was looking for containers the next day. Now, three days after I found you channel. I now have my first Closed Local Terrarium. And I am from North West PA, which it seems like you are very close to. I got a free beetle and a newt. I'm gonna see if they can survive in my terrarium.
KalebPi did they?
Your the best artist ive seen
Vc tem muito amor em tudo o que vc faz parabéns
Cool how-to video. Thanks! The songs in your videos are great!
I've just found a new hobby
Is it still your hobby?
@@ClearCardinal. it is mine, got into this stuff two weeks ago now and ive made 9 of these suckers!
Also make a video about how to make an eternal terrarium
Yes I will. I will probably do that in a few months as I have a few other episodes in the works currently.
good!
Eternal Mangekyo terrarium ;). Lmao
I love your videos, very professional and informative. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this great video! Helped me a lot.
I'm looking forward to seeing the update on this one.
I kinda want to try my hand at making a terrarium like this... But it's winter, and I feel like I'll be hard pressed to get soil and plants now lol. Guess I'll wait til spring.
Great tutorials!
I am impressed!!!! That is really great!!
thanks for the great info in this video! I am going to try this out, im hoping i can build a nice small terrarium for a mothers day gift :)
Great job, you have no limits....... wonder teacher as well thanks so much.
You have REALLY inspired me! Thank you! Great vid!!
That red leaf in the top right corner @ 6:03 wouldve been a cool edition
I made a terrarium and put very tiny snails in it and didn't expect either to survive. Know that I am in the process of making a bigger better terrarium, the snails are going to get an upgrade as a reward for surviving and thriving🐌
LOVE this! Im gonna make one when spring arrives in Norway!
I live roughly in the same area as you! I've always loved terrariums, but I've never tried to make my own... Looks like I've got myself an autumn project lol
