  • In this video, I demonstrate how to make a mini waterfall in a jar; pretty much a mini paludarium. It's great for small spaces and for people who are on a tight budget.
    If you are going to replicate this for yourself, DO NOT USE a fine grained sand like I did. The sand may be able to pass through the filter foam. This can damage the filter and significantly reduce its lifespan. Instead, use rocks or a LARGE gravel. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments below.
    Products I used:
    Filter Foam: amzn.to/3wRvdg7
    Spray Foam: amzn.to/3JLEVEo
    Light: amzn.to/3wGOUHn
    Silicone: amzn.to/3qBAuEx
    Pump: amzn.to/3wIE1EC
    Sphagnum Moss: amzn.to/3uu5qHF

As well as what different kinds of animals to put in them

      It could have gone much better! I ended up going to a plant nursery near my house that wasn’t well stocked with tropical plants that do well in closed environment. I got 3 that were shakily recommended and after 5 months only one is still alive. I put snails and other small insects in that may have contributed to the other 2 plants failing though. Overall I really enjoyed doing it and look at it every day!
