I'm really excited to share this one! It's been in concept for a while now and I love how it turned out. What do you think? Let me know, enjoy, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
I've been dying to do something almost exactly like this but all I've ever come up with is a magnetic container on my mini fridge filled with moss and springtails
I definitely love this. And something I want to do for myself. But after watching you all I think about is Christmas and what a beautiful gift this would be for special friends and family! Absolutely love this!
I actually just made a biosphere a few weeks ago with two ghost shrimp and a ramshorn. They've all adjusted really well considering that I caught them out of the lake in my backyard
This project reminds me of a quote by Leonardo Da Vinci: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." You were able to capture a breath of nature in a very small space, made the process easy and cost-effective for beginners to recreate, and exude an air of Japanese artistic elegance in both the production and the build. I guess what I'm trying to say is. . . fantastic job! ✌
After moving 6 months ago, I had built my whole backyard to be my garden. I built boxes along the fence to plant into and the middle was my plum tree. Wish I got to enjoy my backyard more but oh well. I’ve got 5 fish tanks now and have tons of plants in them to make me feel better haha.
could you try making something using cactus (and other very low watering plants) ? It's not exactly your style but i think you can do something very cool and refreshing from you usual tropical builds. also as always great video
The big projects are great are great like the ponds are awesome but the little desktop ones are my favourite it feels like you looking down on a small ecosystem planet and its pretty magical
Absolutely ordinary white light will work fine. I am growing a variety of plants that include orchids as well as tropical fruit like chocolate, coffee, fig, and olive exclusively under ordinary white LED lights. I have multiple panels 3.5" x 3.5" that each consume a little over 14W. This is a little bit over 100W equivalent if it were an incandescent light. The color I am using is 4000K which is a "warm white" light but any shade of white light should work fine.
@@janinebean4276 They are also not all that aesthetically great. The purplish light makes the plants look grey and can be difficult to look at for any length of time.
I use a full spectrum LED bulb that I got from a hardware store. It wasn't expensive, maybe $5. It works better than basic white but not by a huge margin. I also find that LEDs give me migraines and the full spectrum is somehow easier on me
@@terranovarubacha5473 I use these too, and they work very well in my terrariums. I also have a couple of inexpensive long led growlights that work fine but I got them because they are waterproof and in a couple of locations that was essential. I don't really see any difference between those and the full spectrum leds as far as the growth and flowering of my orchids is concerned, so I will only buy growlights again if I need them in high humidity areas.
Absolutely gorgeous, and you’re right, the drift wood was a beautiful, elegant addition. Loved it prior, but the driftwood just took it to another level. Simple but impactful. 💚 thank you for your continued excellence and artistic inspiration.
Sweet, I followed the instructions. I used nylon and polyester blend since those won't rot. I may have overcrowded but I'll let it become survival of the fittest and let the plants decide who stays and who goes. Hopefully this thing will hold up. I didn't use the same container, I'm going to have to make some feet for it to hold up nicer. I might add the Vinyl wood wrap around the container. I'm going to do something else similar but with succulents
This is cool, but practical reminder: none of this matters if the plants don’t survive after a few months. Can we confirm if the original moss wall survived, or if this does after several months? Very interested in knowing that.
@@MrClockw3rk I didn't have very good luck with the container. The water evaporated too fast in winter or with air-conditioner running in summer. In the end I gave up.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos! We live on a sailboat and can’t realistically recreate many of your designs in our home, but we watch them all nonetheless. This, however, is one we could do, and I love it!! My partner built a teak framework and 3D printed a water reservoir. So far I’ve filled in the foam slats with cuttings I’ve taken from other plants, and they seem to be thriving. Now that I know how well it works, I’ll invest in some more plants to fill it out. Peace to you and all your animal friends 💖✌🏻
LOVE this! So excited to work with this kind of concept in our house sometime soon! Our 4-year-old loves to work with mature and we went on a nature walk today to find mosses and such to build a terrarium like your "terrarium for free" video! This might be our second project!
Such a beautiful peaceful living wall. I love the plant selection and the light is what I would need thinking of placing one on my breakfast wall. Thanks again for this vid, your creativity is a joy to observe!
I actually might have to try this one. I've been trying to think of something more intricate than a potted plant with a unsightly grow-light. Lighting on this looks more put together. Thank you for the inspiration Tanner!
Hey Taner, Great video. At Costco they sell these San Francisco Company sourdough pretzels in these oversized clear plastic containers. I think I would be pretty neat if you could transform the container into a vivarium, basically vivarium on a budget. Thanks
when you placed the plants in the dish so they don't dry out it gave me an idea what if you made a table garden like that one you can have near a computer and it's small
Perfect beyond words! I really have to try this project. I so miss my gardens that I used to tend. Being housebound now, this will give me something to build and care for. Any flowering plant suggestions? I’d love to have a planted computer desk too. 🥰🥰
Amazing video as per usual! Thank you for all of these amazing ideas and beautiful art/videos to enjoy every Saturday morning. They're really something else and have become a great joy of mine. Keep up the great work! ☺️
This scale is very possible in a windowless office without investing cost in a ton of lighting for an actual wall of said office. And absolutely, it brings some zen to the inside. I do worry that the air conditioning foam will not allow enough oxygen to the roots. I hope that I’m wrong about that.
Where did you get the light? I'm always nervous that the lights I buy won't be enough light, so I'd love to purchase lights that have been tried and tested to work.
Very strange question/request. Would you ever consider doing a living terrarium/wall type set up that contains plants that are safe and possibly even edible by cats? I know you primarily do setups for reptiles and general projects but I would LOVE to create something that enriches my environment and my non-scaled friends lives. Just a thought. Thank you and great video as always!!!
It looks like a great piece, I've always wanted a living in my room. Do you think that the foam and rope technique can be upscaled to a system that is 60cm high? As it would be amazing to make something slightly larger.
Î might recreate this in a much bigger scale ( with plants who like it drier at the top ) since I need to move out to a smaller space and I still need a solution for my tropical plants, this might be it
Your designs inspired me to build a bio terrarium. I do have problems with little flying bugs. Can your give me some tips on how to control this problem. Thank you
I just found your videos pretty recently and it's really nice watching everything you do. Your work is so beautiful. I love this because I feel like I can actually make this one. Or I'm definitely gonna try😄. Thank you🌿
Hey, looks great. I have a question about the lighting. Is a normal LED light really enough? I always wanted more plants in my apartment, but it is really dark. I assumed that plants needed special grow-lights to survive? Is a normal LED really enough? And how many hours has the light turned on each day? (I assume it's different for every plant, but maybe there is a rule of thumb)
led will work, i grow almost everything under it: seedlings, fruiting peppers, ferns, lemons etc. You should choose strong lights: not less that 1500 lumens, preferably more. I got 3000 lumens. For most things 12 hors on, 12 off will do.
I have a mix of LEDs and grow light leds. The grow lights definitely seem to do better, and I find that they are important for some of my more finicky plants. I think of light like vitamins in food: You can survive on just one food, but it's better if you have a variety, so I try to use LEDs to supplement plants that get at least some natural light, and grow lights for those that get very little OR that are finicky! Good luck!
If you’re worried about lighting , I’d recommend Pothos ( there’s several types such as Marble queen, pearls and jade , golden.. ) . Super easy to take care of and need minimal amount of sun. They are often known for being a great bathroom plant. Since, you’re worried about lighting I’d stick to part sun. Also, home depot has cheap grow lights for around $20+. Though, LEDS should do the trick! Happy planting !
Thank you all for the encouragement. I just bought a grow light* and a few plants. Looking forward to see how long they will survive :) One benefit of a (grow) light that I never thought about is that now my room is better lit. Normally I only turn on lights when I need them, so my rooms are most of the time quite dark. So that's nice :) *cheapest one on Amazon, and thanks to a discount cheaper than comparable normal LEDs.
I would like for you to explore more about micro plants like Another World Terraria since it'll help with the scale of small projects that you're making like this because i feel the scale of the plants on this projects is a tad too big
I'm really excited to share this one! It's been in concept for a while now and I love how it turned out. What do you think? Let me know, enjoy, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
Turned out really great! Would care for this apply to the moss living wall to?
I think there should be a pilea garden next
I really want to try this some day. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful project and I don’t know about anyone else but I completely de stress watching these videos

Sweet! Love the concept of having a variety of plants contained in a small footprint.
Don't have a garden so might give something like this a go!

also as always great video
I appreciate the specific care tips. A project like this is great for a beginner, and you correctly assumed that a beginner needs more guidance.
I like how you teach us, adding all the details we may need to carry out this kind of project!
The big projects are great are great like the ponds are awesome but the little desktop ones are my favourite it feels like you looking down on a small ecosystem planet and its pretty magical
I would love a video on using regular LED lights rather than expensive grow lights!

@@JP-nn4qv thanks! i think I'm going to give it aa try! grow lights are WAY too expensive

I'm going to try using this as the back wall of my frog vivarium! Thanks for the simplification!!
how was it?

I like the maintenance tips. I still have the container from the old project. looks like a low upkeep planter for my desk at work!
Did the moss survive? Sherpa won’t answer me.

Tanner as always your videos are the best. Thanks for sharing this video.
I love your videos I fall asleep to them every night
This is a very attractive and clever build. Your knowledge and creativity seems endless.
You put so much care into your designs, you really inspired me to take better care of my animals. Serpa squad for life 💜
facile à réaliser et magnifique, j'adore la simplicité de cette réalisation, bravo!
I feel so excited by this simple low tech project, that I'm inspired to create my own!
You and your embellishments, Tanner. I love how you can't resist driftwood. XD It's gorgeous and seems really low tech and easy to maintain. Kudos!

By far one of your best! Great music choice as well
Hey! Can you try to make a piece of wood with plants hanging from the ceiling? Really would love to see that! Love your vids
Hey Taner, nice Video !
I'd be happy to see some more animal-focused videos, like the beardie or kingsnake enclosures!
Great build as always! The wall builds are some of my favorites as I’ve always wanted to make a living wall.
Suggestion for your next build: Dutch aquascape, but as a terrarium
What a lovely design, so simple but effective.... thankyou.❤
Hey Taner, Great video. At Costco they sell these San Francisco Company sourdough pretzels in these oversized clear plastic containers. I think I would be pretty neat if you could transform the container into a vivarium, basically vivarium on a budget. Thanks
Awesome idea and I love the simplicity of it. Thank you.
this was great. i appreciate the availability of this project!!
Wanna make a few of these to fill my bookshelf in the office! Now I just have to find those containers...
when you placed the plants in the dish so they don't dry out it gave me an idea what if you made a table garden like that one you can have near a computer and it's small
i really love this living wall concept
very great idea for new style of gardening
started making terreriams for isapods and these vids help alot! keep up the great work
Perfect beyond words! I really have to try this project. I so miss my gardens that I used to tend. Being housebound now, this will give me something to build and care for. Any flowering plant suggestions? I’d love to have a planted computer desk too. 🥰🥰

This is amazing, really gets the creativity flowing
HEY trailing watermelon begonia! my favourite plant
This is really beautiful and very inspiring! 💕 I would really love to know how this is doing 3 or even 6 months from now 👍🏻
You and md fish tanks uploaded in the same hour let’s go
Great video. Thanks for your work on these.
You should make an axolotl aquarium of some sort.
I like this. Seems super easy to set up and maintain. Might give it a try
SO VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done, dude! (And I see you've added a little care section there, nice.)
What a neat piece! Very creative. Thanks for the videos. 😊
Thank you for this video. I believe that I can actually recreate this!

You could grow a grass mat and once well grown, set it up vertically? Grasses need a LOT of water tho
“Limiting the variegated” I was waiting for that comment. 😎

How is it doing in a long term? I really like this low tech idea! Can you scale it up for a bigger terrarium?
All ways love your video’s.
This is gorgeous! Congratulations!
Love this channel dude. Well done hey.
Your designs inspired me to build a bio terrarium. I do have problems with little flying bugs. Can your give me some tips on how to control this problem. Thank you
oooh I would try to do this, this looks easy and awesome

gorgeous!! day.. what, 6? of asking for a mantis terrarium!!
I am going to have a go at making this one! Nice 😁
That's awesome looking
Beautiful and so easy to make! Do you (or any one commenting) think I could recreate this using a natural material instead of foam?
Love this! Can't wait to give it a try!
This is great! Any recommendations on which liquid plant food to go with?
amazing setup
Beautiful as usual.
i love your work bro you are amazing keep it up
Awesome video!
This is really beautiful.
Pleeeeaaaase make another one with a wood border!
Beautiful as always. Will we see inhabitants in the large jungle enclosure soon?
As always, great video!
wow omg i really want to try this
Так красиво и так просто в постройке. А значит генерально😅
Amazing.. so beautiful..❤️👍

great build
This is beautiful, would love to have this on my desk. Can you provide a link for the light?
Do you (or anyone in the comments) know where i can get that same gooseneck light? I have all the other supplies
This is beautiful!
Youre up to something big, or you have a big announcement soon. I can just tell I like this piece, anyone can do it..
You some builds with carnivorous plants in it like sundews or nepenthes I bet you would have some great success with them
Man you would make bank if you sold these as kits.
I think lots of his builds could be kits. Hope he's got at least 25 patents by now.
love love love!
I see Tanner i upvote
Beautiful, but it is hard to find small plants like that
