      I do the same. I tried putting them I'm the pots to propogate properly. However they just throw them away. I don't like intentionally killing plant life and not giving them a chance, so I take all leaves home with me.now lol. Might as well give em a fighting chance before throwing them away

    Hey bro, just wanted to send a thank you because I just built my first terrarium. In 1986 I won the Paekakariki School Spring Show Miniature Garden, now I've got the best terrarium in my class, (grade 2, I'm the teacher). Its small and was a rushed job with materials I found in the car park, pot plants and classroom but its a great start. In June our grade will study biomes and ecosystems, this might be a great project for the kids! Thank you.

    Wow wow wow. I absolutely LOVE your channel. I was on youtube today, and a random video popped up about terrariums. From then on I've been fascinated with the idea of having a basically self sufficient plant system (closed terrarium). I'm super excited to see how this thing is looking in a few weeks. I've got a feeling that your channel is gonna sky-rocket soon! Keep up the amazing and inspiring work :)

    I'm so glad that youtube took me straight into your tutorial. I've fallen in love with terrariums, and it has been very overwhelming, simply to contemplate the first step of mixing the right combination of soil, let alone applying it by action. Your video was lovely, outlined well and so easy to follow and comprehend, very relaxing and pleasant soft instrumental music that didn't deter from learning! Many videos get thumbs down in my book simply because they are raucous and chaotic. I've shared this video already, and I look forward to learning more from your creativity. Thanks!

    Hi Tanner, I'm so glad I found you!
    Your creations are so inspiring and I am hooked! I am learning so much. I totally overlooked the quarantine rules for Australia (where I am) its a steep learning curve.
    I've watch a LOT of your videos in the past couple of days, I'm fascinated by how beautifully neat, tidy and organised your work space is and was hoping you could do a class of your preferred set up and Why you do it that way. I'm wondering about your plant storage, how long they can be stored for, your soil mix storage, decorative sticks and stones etc.
    I think you are extraordinarily talented and so generous with your time, knowledge and energy.
    Thank you so much,
    Louisa
    ps: if you have terrarium friends in Australia with advice on supplies, that would be a totally extra bonus to finding this channel. Cheers.

    Hey Tanner. Love your channel, great content and lots of inspiration on the subject. I have a specific question about the moss you decided to use for this project. Can you explain a bit more as to why you made this choice and tell me if you used decorative or living moss for the touch ups? Im having trouble figuring this part out because moss generally thrives in a moist environment opposite of this one so I don't know how well it would do. Also, in my experience decorative moss just turns brown if misted or watered so Im not sure it would be the best choice for this project that uses live plants. Can you please explain a little bit more on this. One of the last steps Im trying to clearify before starting my project. Thanks.

    This is just picky, so sorry about that. But you must have had a couple of small rocks under the terrarium, and as you would spin the glass bowl around, it made a noise that evoked the same feeling that I get when I hear nails scratching on a blackboard. 😳 Would love if you kept that in mind for the next video. 😊 But the terrarium is beautiful, and I love all of the projects you show us!
