Making a zero cost terrarium in the garden (How to make a terrarium from your backyard)
Currently I am visiting my parents at my hometown and thought of building a terrarium using available materials and plants from the garden.
It worked out ZERO cost for me as everything used was available at home and in the garden and nothing was purchased separately for this project.
Hence the title of the video.
A couple of materials could not be used like activated carbon due to non-availability. Springtails were also not used in this project due to the same reason.
I hope this video inspires you to build your own terrarium with available materials and maybe incurring some minimal cost if not zero cost.
1 lit kitchen container used for the build
Gravel from backyard for drainage layer
Mix of garden soil, leaf litter, sand and coco fiber for substrate
Plants used:
Moss
Native Ferns
Boston Fern
Pellionia Repens
Coleus
Mazus Pumilus
Creeping Fig (Ficus Pumila)
Aerial roots of Ficus Microcarpa and bits of dry leaves used for detailing.

Your "overgrown" garden is beautiful! It must be a joy to be there looking for nice things to keep in your terrarium. Especially when you have a good knowledge of the plant and animal species around, so you can go, "Hey! I know that plant!" or "Woah!! Look at that ___".
Your terrarium looks astonishing as well! I love how creative you were with it. For example, you used old Bonsai roots to add details to it.
It's like a perfect little display of that wonderful garden. 😁
Thank you so much
Very nice terrarium. Whether cheap or expensive, if in the hands of the right person it will definitely be very good!!❤
Thanks
sir, your overgrown garden is pure magic! and yes, your beautiful and relaxing video did inspire me to make my own terrarium!
Happy to know. Thank you
❤ brother, I really appreciate your good work ❤ you saved the beautiful snail also. God bless you ❤
Thank you
That entire yard is an terrarium! Awesome!
😀
Looks great and the price is right! Thinking local really removes some barriers for entry to the hobby, and you don't absolutely have to be in a tropical zone to be successful. I don't have a lot of stem plants in my area that are both appropriate for terrariums and attractive, but I've taken to keeping baggies with me when I'm out and about and have quite the little moss farm going as a result. Just a little bit from here and there and some patience and you can have some ready at hand, acclimated and pest free. I'm starting to experiment with blending the types I've found for color palette and texture for a living wall project, and it is good fun for no cost.
Thank you
So many textures and colors in this terrarium. I love it. Your mom has a great diversity in her garden. The coleus plants are gorgeous. I am going to buy some coleus seeds now and make a terrarium with just seeds. It will keep me happy this winter. Enjoy your stay at your mom's.
Thank you
beautiful. I'm amazed how many tiny plants and details you got into such a small jar
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
This will be one of my favourite ❤ The house looks great.
Thanks
Вы волшебник✨Восхищаюсь вашими террариумами!

Amazing! So simple yet so detailed 👌🏻🥰

I need a very simplified and easily understandable video on growlights.
You could check put this video on my light setups ruclips.net/video/_3-WPc6n-6A/видео.htmlsi=BT_r5_HbDuwCmhUb
It looks beautiful!
Thank you
Coleus is an interesting choice for a closed terrarium, do let us know how it's doing.
A lovely video as always 😊

Beautiful😍✨❤ garden making idea and voice is very nice👍👍😊😊 I like your voice
Thanks
OMYGOD such a GORGEOUS overgrown garden, and I love how your terrarium turned out!!
I have a few of the plants you showed and would love to make one but question... Can I make a mix of potting soil, orchid bark, sphagnum moss and maybe some perlite, like a "chunky mix", would that work in terrariums?
Thanks. Yes that will work
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Thank you so much for your input!!😊🙏🙏

HI. Do the seedlings you harvested without roots then develop roots?
Some species root from cuttings
When this species of moss is put in a terrarium,it dies quickly.why is that?
It may have acclimatisation issues at times.
Can we use any plant??? Here in tropical India??? When I don't even know anything about the plants not even their names
Not all plants will work inside a closed terrarium. Feel free to experiment and see which ones work for you. You could also check my videos on compatible plants.
Springtail?
Not in this one
