    Sorry for the later upload. I found some issues in my first edit and had to re-upload as soon as I was about to go live today. Anyway, I love keeping ferns in setups like this and as I said in the video, it can actually be easier than traditional means. If you're looking to make a unique piece and love plants, I highly recommend giving it a try!

      ok lets talk evaporation. How often are you "topping off"?
      I just built something similar, planted around the base and no pump. but I'm having to "top off" every day. set up holds half gallon

    Hi Tanner - I think it would be awesome if you could do a setup with just orchids. It would be really cool if each orchid blooms during different seasons, so that way the terrarium is blooming all year round.

      Love this idea! ❤ I want to do something with a mix of different types jasmine, honeysuckle & either orchids or a center piece of hibiscus. However I’m only a novice when it comes to indoor plants & I know both hibiscus & particularly many orchids can be very temperamental. Plus quality versions of either aren’t cheap in my area. I may stick with the jasmine & honeysuckle on a larger build but place ferns or something removable where I would like to place the other flowers. So that once I feel knowledgable enough it will be easy to add them.

    Update after watching: This is a beautiful build! I like the gap between the rocks and the way the ferns hug and then flourish away from them. I want a rabbit's foot fern, but my wife isn't planty and is afraid of killing such a needy plant if I go away and leave it in her care for a few days. Maybe a waterfall build will be the solution!

    • @rebekahkasper6126
      @rebekahkasper6126 2 года назад +11

      If it helps, rabbit foot ferns are super easy to care for and don’t need any special watering or humidity. Their care is more like a pothos than a fern!

      @beacurnearecurvata188 2 года назад +20

      I don't know what kind of climate you live in but I live in Sweden and I have a rabbits foot fern hanging maybe a metre or two away from my east facing window and I can say that this plant is without a doubt THE EASIEST PLANT I've ever owned!
      I water it once a week. Not too much water. Don't water at the roots. Try to water between roots. If I forget to water it the roots start drooping but give it water and the roots will move its way up again (the roots are always hanging, sometimes droopily, but when recently watered the roots are starting to "caress" the pot). I've had mine for about 4-5 years now and amazingly enough this plant has barely dropped a leaf! I'm not kidding when I say that my rabbit foot fern has probably not even lost more than 10 fullgrown leaves during all these years. I think the number is closer to 5! Only when I've been very lazy with watering have leaves started dying.
      It's an amazing plant and it is my absolute favourite out of all my 30-ish plants beacause of 1. how odd it looks (it's a showstopper and will certainly be a topic of conversation when you have guests over) and 2. because of how easy it is to care for it and 3. the fact that the roots move. That makes this plant endearinly creepy.
      I definitely think you should give the rabbits foot fern a try! 🌱💚 I would wish you good luck if I had too😜

      @MrsBJPalmer 2 года назад +7

      @@ElaineTaylor95 I agree with the first 2 lovely replies! Rabbits Foot fern is very hardy, just follow the directions for planting and don't let the water level get too low to where the pump can't get enough water.. Once you have it established, and know the watering schedule your design and plants require, its simple to water as experience tells you- once a week, or as the tray level drops, etc... Best of luck! BTW- I LOVE this design!! I've kept this fern and many others for years! This I must make!! Thank you Tanner @SerpaDesign, for a design I can make, and satisfy my fern fever!!

    Hi Tanner, have you ever considered growing a mango seedling? They are, in my personal opinion, quite beautiful and unique looking plants. They do really well in humid, semi warm environments as well, so the conditions you have in most setups seem suited to them. Anyway, keep up the great work! I have enjoyed your videos for a few years now and you never cease to amaze.

    • @pim4686
      @pim4686 2 года назад +15

      @@sal-1337 Mangos don't grow that fast from what I have experienced while having them. The initial start is fast, so you'll get about 10 inch tall plant quite quickly. Probably due to the fact it comes from a big seed like you said. But after that it develops slower. It will, under the right circumstances, even produce red leaves as new growth. Also it takes around 8 years before it would even start growing fruit, if it starts growing fruit at all lol. Most mangoes you find in stores are hybrids and the mango tree needs perfect conditions for it to grow fruit. But they can be easily kept as house plants despite them originally being fruit trees.

      That’s a cool idea! One thing that’s fascinating to me and could affect others who are sensitive-mangoes and cashews are in the same family as poison ivy and some individuals can have a reaction from coming in contact with them. There was a mango tree in my university’s tropical collection that I helped curate; one of the other students got a rash every time he went in the greenhouse! XD

    I love the way your channel has evolved. When I started watching you a couple of years ago, your videos was slow but steady with relaxing music an many closed terrariums. Then you started expanding your work to other mediums. But then I feel like the channel reached an awkward teenage phase. Your videos started to be more energetic but you as a person was still very slow but steady. But now I feel like your language is more in tune with the feel of the videos! I must congratulate you on your progress and skill as an artist and RUclipsr. I very much enjoy watching you and have been enjoying the evolution of this channel!
