Arid Desert Terrarium Step By Step 2023

This week, I used cactuses that I had and an old terrarium to create this beautiful desert terrarium.
This is similar to my other terrariums. However, I set it up so that it has low humidity at around 20%. I added Armadillidium Officinalis Isopods.
All living things in the world deserve a chance at life and I love repurposing & creating homes for these fun creatures.

Want something manageable like this for the living room. Just trying to figure out what all I put in it without it being too much like a gladiator arena. Lol. But we'll see
This is just beautiful. Well done sir.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! Good luck!

[@jayson6633]

Haha, I think a gladiator arena would look pretty cool tho

[@turkeyturkey6578]

what is the substrate mix

[@frankw9836]

i recently made one myself ( not as nice as yours) today i looked and found little insects inc a small caterpillar ! no Idea how they got in there ?? How to get rid of them ?

[@luyahroz9313]

You’re missing the step where you give ratios and types for substrate

[@luyahroz9313]

Also plant names and isopod names

[@warpedwhimsical]

@@luyahroz9313 cracking me up that the guy hearted your comments and then made no effort to answer your questions

[@luyahroz9313]

@@warpedwhimsical right lol

[@SoulshaBoy]

For my desert substrate my recipe is 2 party decomposed granite, 1-2 part sand depending on how sandy of a desert your going for, 1 part coco fiber, and 1/2 part top soil.

[@oshri_tsur]

It just looks perfect. You made it amazing 🙌 .. but how do the insects drink

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much!

[@oshri_tsur]

Where can I find the names of the sand and the other materials

[@peaceofnaturee]

This is play sand. I collected rocks from nature. I don’t know their name.

[@Monkey69276]

Love your video but I need to ask how high is the terrarium I am going to build a desert ecosystem white a scorpion thats why I ask

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! High is 45 cm

[@fredk4136]

How often do you water the plants

[@journey_rtg6976]

How can I get the substrate mix (what did you put in it) and what plants

[@journey_rtg6976]

And what animals is this suitable for

[@dorukansuceken3473]

congratulations it is great. can i grow desert beetles inside?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you ! Yes for sure 🙂

[@omercabur1626]

This is amazing video

[@loz792]

To give a step by step would be helpful if you also explained what mix you used as substrate and some explanations along the way ,loved the final result but not helpful to understand how to make one with the right ingredients

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you for your feedback. In future videos I will try to make sure I give more explanation on how to use the right ingredients 🙏🏻

[@loz792]

[@calicocriterisopod]

@@peaceofnaturee can we see some? I’m thinking of making a bioactive enclosure for my crested gecko

[@peaceofnaturee]

@@calicocriterisopod Yes i can make a video

[@jakubmalicki6357]

It is very nice, but why did You put little stones first, then net, then dirt with sand and sand in the end? This layers are have meanings?

[@frowner_and_co]

Stones:drainage
Dirt:plants and drainage
Sand:Decoration

[@rayp4008]

Drainage would be my guess

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thats right !

[@DeelishDotCom]

Those isopods dried out, didn't they?

[@peaceofnaturee]

There is a humidity side in the left corner for them.

[@royals305]

Is the enclosure good for bearded dragons

[@peaceofnaturee]

Yes ! Bearded dragons can be good with little touch

[@MjAwsomeSauceSkittle]

HI! loved the video! Wanted to ask what the plant on the left front you used that wasn't a cactus :0?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! I forgot the name of this plant 😟

[@luisgalle9474]

Youuuuu ever heard of gloves? 🌵

[@BobCantFixIt]

Can ants live in this

[@peaceofnaturee]

Yes, probably.

[@thecivrookie9834]
