Thanks for this one! It's remarkable in it's simplicity …
I've finally named a new playlist, "❤ First Things First - Terrariums!" Now I can consolidate the hundreds of videos "logically" …

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks

[@madalenaczy5388]

Beautiful, definitely one of my favourites - the idea of the hardscape and arrangement of plants are perfect!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you 🙏

[@starr_ship]

This is beautiful! Drilling that rock made a cool texture on its own, but you really balanced a whole lot in that small space by doing that. Looks like you used a fairly porous rock, I'd bet it will wick water up pretty well too. Thanks for this!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you 🙏 . Its a lava rock and its porous. Plants like it.

[@AquascapeTR]

A flawless and inspiring work. Congratulations...💯

Thank you 🙏

[@tankimloong2738]

Extremely satisfying build! Do you need to spray them with fertilizer since there's probably not a whole lot of nutrient for the plants? if yes, how often?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. Yes once a week for now

It's beautiful, well done! Will you need to do water changes?

Awesome! Now I want to make one! Any plans to put fish in the water? Just curious.

Hola 😊 Hermoso tu trabajo! Me gustaría saber que tipo de pega utilizas, esas gotas para unir ramas a la piedra es algo orgánico? Gracias!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. Any cyanoacrylate superglue will work

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Gracias! Saludos desde Caracas-Venezuela

[@claudiamehlem6331]

Very nice! Is it possible also to take a dragon stone?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. You can try. Dragon stone is a bit fragile for drilling and not porous. But you can attach plants and moss with thread.

[@Biodomebliss]

Build is awesome!! do you have link to buy that glass container ?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

You can buy it from Ikea store. Lid is customised.Thanks

[@troy2724]

I love your creation❤ and I have a question. Are plants aquarium plants ?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes except Selaginella

[@KimberlyAaaa]

We made some gifts not nearly so nice as yours last year.
My friend decided we should use all organic materials so they can be composted when no longer in use. Have you entertained this idea?

[@philippariat3793]

what about maintenance like water change and adding fertilizer/s , do you use any of that
and where do you buy these rocks and other accessories in India.Thanks please reply

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes there is some maintenance involved. Watch out foir a update video on this build. I used liquid based ferts for such setups. Containers, rocks and other materials from amazon, Ikea and local aquascaping stores.

[@emilcesantos5779]

Hola, que pegamento usas ? Porque yo quise pegar unas piedras con el algodoncito y un pegamento con cianocrilato y se despegaron 😢

Cyanoacrylate superglue

No pusiste colembolos, no son necesarios?

Should be fine

Other than adding water is this self-sustaining?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Pretty much

[@mharnab8207]

is these moss and plants will alive without soil?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Lava rock is a good substrate for moss. Plants used are epiphytic species
