Spring Affects the Closed Paludarium Ecosystem - Strawberry Bonanza!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In this video we take a look at how springtime effects the life inside the paludarium ecosphere. Due to longer days and higher temperatures the wild strawberry plants started growing like crazy, as well as the spider plants and an aquatic plant. The seasonal change also effects the life in the aquarium part.
Enjoy!

A lot of you pointed out that this looks more like creeping charlie/ ground ivy and not wild strawberry. At first I was living in denial, but you guys are right. It's quite obvious now that I see it. I can still see the strawberry in the paludarium, but it hasn't been growing that much. Thanks for pointing it out!
Omg your channel grew so much when I first watched you you were at around 4-5k
I love you're vids dude!, also check my comment, I feel that you would like some information on ways to make you're microscopy adventure more fun!
I believe it is Centella asiatica.
@@clarkmason7219 Maybe. . . I don't think this plant could be it, it's not native, and doesn't seem to be invasive, also it isn't used for much medicinally or culinary
Unrelated, but when making a new ecosphere, why do you wait until the water clears to put the lid on. Another question i have is, if my water is taking a long time to settle (several days), should i still put the lid on after 24 hours?
I've gotten quite some fanart over the past few years and I never really knew what to do with it, I felt somewhat guilty about that. So from now on I'll sometimes add fanart on top of the intro. In this week's edition: Tracy from Los Angeles!
You should update your logo and background with fanart.
What are you talking about, we LOVED it last time :D
Maybe I'll do it again sometime ;)
no WE didn't
@@elliswatanabe yes WE DID
yes we didn't
@@elliswatanabe I'm sorry you're unable to enjoy the good things about life :(
Have you ever thought about using a magnet cleaner to make some viewing areas on the glass ? would make it a lot easier to film
R H idk he would have to be very careful, there’s bugs and stuff on each walls, it might no be a good idea.
It’s a closed ecosystem so he won’t do anything to it
Oooo a new intro art fancy! Are you planning on opening it up to eat the strawberries if they develop? Little worms are totally worth seeing so no big deal you broke that promise to yourself.
Nope I won't open it up. I doubt there will be strawberries though because I don't see how they'll be fertilized
I've now found myself wanting to start an Isopod terrarium due to your videos. I will actually look into proper care of them!
Isopods are really fun and easy to care for. I've never raised them in a closed environment, though. You've just inspired me.
Good grief, your channel is fantastic. Thank you for sharing all this incredibly interesting information. Enjoy the close ups and your sense of humor as well. ;)
OHHE-
aw
love getting updates like this! keep it up!!
Thanks!
That isn't a strawberry. Its creeping Charlie. Glechoma hederacea. It's a common weed here in the USA. It seems to be everywhere in my garden. Originally imported here to be a ground cover. It does that all too well
Let me know if you want more.
Thank you! I just built an ecosphere and have some of this in it. In the first two days it has already grown inches of new roots and has begun flowering. Like Life in Jars, I too thought it was wild strawberry at first.
"Oh heeeeee-"
YES HE'S DOING IT
"-nope, they didn't like it last time"
D:!!!
Just say happy little strawberries sometimes and your the Bob Ross of ecospheres.
Seems like this is the perfect time to be inside and look at life from the outside in a jar. 👍
You should do a soil and water pH indicator test before sealing each ecosystem!
Curious about this. What would be the ideal pH?
Great video, as always :) Also, the music is so groovy! :)
Thanks!
Life in Jars has so many friends to keep him happy during the pandemic, lucky!
I found your channel last night and i gotta say i was inspired. Started a salt water and a fresh water ecosphere today and they are both so fascinating! Thank you for sharing everything with us!
Me: This looks interesting.
Me upon making one of these: C'mon, do something.
any updates from your ecosphere?
@@mechdonald7848 still nothing
seriously? 😂 can you try again and give me an update?
@@bottlegaming6726 how about now?
*affects
Your videos are great! Very inspirational. So green.
Oh haha whoops thanks
This channel popped into my recommended feed after like a year since I discovered your channel. You have such interesting videos, and the funky music just made me subscribe 🤩
the microbes might be something like stentor coeruleus. Some kind of heterotrichs of the class of ciliates.
Idk, the shape they have kinda reminds me of rotifers.
Not stentor. They dont have the characteristic trumpet shape.
Also, the shape and movement patterns are very animal-like.
Rotifers of some sort.
@@CMZneu I agree, definitely rotifer ruclips.net/video/pSXlo8fuxzg/видео.html
They look more to me, judging by the way they behave, like the offspring of the enchytraetus worm. Perhaps the milky/gelatinous blob surrounding them is their egg fluid? But I'm no expert by any means...
I think the little micro organisms @4:55 are rotifers.
Your camera work/equipment is getting better and so are you. Great video!
Thanks!
Do you think anyone looks down on us - the way he looks down on these creatures. OH WAIT! PARTYMUSIC!!!!
Lifeinjars I like how you are calm and cool and informational you make me happy when you upload
Maaaan ain’t nothing like coming home from a long day, heating up some mac and cheese and hearing that jazzy intro 😌
Ok, I found the actual music song, sorry for posting the wrong name before. It's 'Feel the Funk' by Jimmy Fontanez/Media Right Productions. ruclips.net/video/k4zuuKxnqC4/видео.html I found it on the RUclips Library so it should be correct.
It still leaves open the question though, why you don't post the names of the songs, people are often very eager to find them.
broo i remember back when u had barely any subs, love the content keep it up 🔥✊
You have the best voice and your narration is fantastic!
3:25 ooo, that's sum funky music
That’s amazing! Everyone loves spring! My ecosphere in jar looked dead for some time, no plants were alive. Just saw a few snails and algae on the glass. Now, duckweed is starting to grow! So cool to see. Keep it up!
Fun fact:
Strawberries are enjoyed by humans (of which I am one)
Yes!
i do enjoy the strawberry as i too am a homosapien!
As always, an awesome and informative video! Thank you for the spring update, it's cool to see how everything reacts to the change in seasons.
Your videos are always so great. I love keeping vivariums, I have a a salt water aquarium, and fire bellied toads, I really want to scoop up some dirt and keep in a glass container to see whats in it.
So isn't the Aquarium part going to slowly drain until both parts have about the same amount of water? If the water mostly evaporates from there but condenses above both parts, then that'll drain the Aquarium, right?
But great update! So exited to see what happens in there next
The aquarium covers the largest area where it can 'rain' back to. I also think there's a little more condensation right above the aquarium. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out though!
Im from Brazil and I aways watch your videos and I really like them, keep doing
Its wonderful to see this channel get all these views/support. I've been sub'd since you only had around a few thousand people. Thanks for this great content! Keep it up.

Hi, love your videos. The strawberry isn't the plant that's grown so much, that appears to be a Glechoma hederacea (ground-ivy) that was growing in roughly the same spot as the strawberry. The strawberry has the more serrated leaves.
I for one think that your microscope is awesome and I like when you use it.
I am always so surprised at the amount of negative comments you get. I love your videos and I hope you keep them coming.
Love the update videos
It depends on the magnification you are using with your microscope, (looks like 20x?) but I’m pretty sure those are bdelloid rotifers! You can tell by the inching motion they use. In my samples they like to hold on to algae like they are doing in your slide. You can see some similar ones in my most recent video!
i can see that he is very passionate with the ecosystems, it happens that im also very interested with the ecosystems
What species of strawberry is that? Usually they have 3 leaves, clover formation but these, I think are duchensa mock strawberries, white flowers mean real strawberry, and yellow is mock.
Also, to make a crude darkfield microscope, get something non-opaque, and slowly move it around the top of the light source, look it up on RUclips. Anyways, love you're vids, sorry for the essay of a comment!
The leaves don't match any kind of strawberry I've seen
Beautiful. I am trying one in a jar. I think I did it at wrong time of year. Will be watching your videos on that again. Much love💗🕊
Been a while since I've been to ur channel happy to be back! Still love the voice dude. Keep it up.
Use a small powerful rare earth magnet with a small section of felt to clear small sections of algae.
A fan art in the intro! What is this! I’m wondering if the evaporation will over water the soil? I forgot if there was a way for water too get from the soil to the water? Like through the rocks into water feature through holes? My memory is garbage lol
Music for this one was killer my guy. Keep it up
Gotta say your channel is pretty dam good brother.
Awe cute new logo!
Awesome videos!
Can you please do an update on your terrariums as I have been supporting the channel for a while and I would like to see them in an update please.
This is my favorite ecosphere you have made so far. :)
omg the strawberries, that is amazing
New logo 💕👍
Great to see some clear stereo microscope footage!
Inspired by these videos keep it up 👍
Awesome!
I hope the leeches thrive, they are really cool
They're doing well so far
@@LifeinJars thats nice to hear
How’s lockdown going?
Oh, just watching worms groove in tubes to groovy tunes, you?
btw somethign that might be good if you close and can clean glass for you to put a magnet and sponge configuration
I choked when you said "ramet". Subscribed
oh yeah
this video was so interesting I didn't even notice it was only six min long
I love your vids! Your vids inspired me to make closed ecospheres.
Imagine if wallE happens at this time, the robots that look for plants wouldn’t take long xD
It would ruin the plot!
Life in Jars? Guess it would!
*blushes cuz actually got reply*
New vid lets go
yes
This is fascinating to watch the changes progress through the seasons. You can use the microscope as often as you want to give us close-ups, it would be nice to know what the rate of magnification is though. Keep on sharing your fun with us.🖤🇨🇦
Hey life in jars!! Please join our ecosphere discord server! It's really helpful for identifying certain creatures and is overall a nice server.

@@koolfulms.v2497 I ain't LIJ but can I join too? I just made my first ecosphere a few weeks ago to have some more nature indoors for the quarantined and I think I got a really good food chain set up, I'd like to learn some more
@@Amaling of course
Really interesting
Thank you
Life in Jars? No prob always loving these updates ^_^
:)
It's always weird to hear him say his outro because it's the same thing the slingshot channel says
Wait im high wym?
@@SouthBayLA1310 they both say "thanks and bye bye"
Slav Pepe I LOVE JÖRG
I guess because they live in neighbouring countries, Jörg is german and life in jars is dutch
@@TheDeadMeme27 those are really far apart but I get what you're saying
Love u fam
The little things by the 5 minute mark look kinda like rotifers, microscopic animals, ciliated filter feeders.
I'm working on a really big paludarium now
That's awesome
I think those tiny things near the worm might be rotifers
Love love these videos.
Thanks!
nice intro music
Love your videos but wanted to suggest the plant you call a strawberry looks like Glechoma hederacea aka ground ivy😊 in your earlier video it did look like you had some type of wild strawberry in there but maybe the ivy took it over?
Ground ivy grows quite a lot differently
@@LifeinJars I read this comment in your voice
I came here to say this! Ground ivy can grow several different ways. Take a look. pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Glechoma+hederacea
But I also wanted to say I love this video and this channel! ❤️
Your videos are amazing, do you have any plans to try mushroom based ecosystems?
4:20 (ayy lmao) "I promised myself I wouldn't use the microscope in this video..." Use it as much as you like! Always love the footage you get from it, really shows a new perspective.
It was probably more a promise he made to himself for production purposes and not because of his watchers.
@@savannahlevy97 Fair. Either way I love the microscope shots.
great video pal! how's your ant colony doing btw?
5:13 Im guessing those tiny creatures are Rotifers
Hello, Life in Jars and fellow jar people, after watching this channel and the associated ones, I am super interested in doing this activity for myself. I was wondering, if you had any tips or anything at all you could tell me about this? It seems rather simple, grab a jar, sterelize it, put soil, plants and water from random source and wait. I'm especially curious as to what types of critters will be /spawned into my jar-world. Should it be in direct sunlight or light from the window? Any type of plants? These are my main question, but I welcome any sort of info, hope to hear from you fellas soon, thanks
Hey everyone,
I've been getting into making my own jar ecospheres but none of the jars I've found work well. Any advice? Also how do you capture these creatures with a microscope through glass?
The tiny white things in the microscope are rotifers. Google bdelloid rotifers for some more videos / pictures to confirm.
The little animals look like rotifers.
I love your videos, can you tell me what you use as a microscope? I'm interesting in stating an ecosphere but I want to document it for fun!
Strawberry? Like the fruit? 🤔
Never been this early before 😁
Yes. But wild
@@tomatotortilla I am aware of that but sometimes things have similar names yet aren't the same thing, I wasn't sure.
@@LifeinJars that is so cool! I'd like to see if they blossom then produce fruit
Can you do new video about your isopod colony
Joerg, is that you?
Hi LIG, any chance you could tell me the name of the music? loving your channel.
Cloud worms.
You should check out the channel "journey to the microcosmos" they would be very helpful in identifying your unknown critters... that, and they are very well done videos, very entertaining... like yours!
I love seeing updates on the Paludarium. Btw, how can I send you fanart? 👀
You can send an email
Hey Life In Jars, i have a closed exosphere form a swamp near were i live. At first, there were a crazy amount of organisms. But on day 2, all smaller organisms have dispersed. Day 2, all my snails died. And Day 3, all worms and algae has died. It is a now a baren wasteland, but a second ecosphere i had previously is still alive and thriving. What could have goon wrong? Edit: For location purposes, i live in Helena Montana
I wonder how dense the strawberries will get
hey man i dont know if youll see this, but today i followed in your footsteps and made my first seacosphere, but im worried because all i have inside is a single piece of brown sea lettuce i found on the shore, the jar looks like its empty of life, no small animals or nothing. i was thinking of starting over with something greener ,could you give me some tips?
What would also be very exciting is if you could somehow artificially increase the oxygen % in the atmosphere of the ecosystem before sealing it, and then seeing the effects on the life inside.
Hay question, won’t this jar eventually have like most of its life go extinct sense the oxygen will be expelled but nothing to breath out carben(or somthing I forgot) or is the thing just close but not air tight?
