  • I've been thinking lately that I wanted to make a new terrarium. So, I took a look through my containers and found the one I used in this video. As soon as I saw it, this idea came to me. I thought, how cool would it be to include a sand zen garden on the bottom?
    As I started working through it, I really embraced the rustic artisan vibe. Overall I'm really pleased with how it turned out. From the handmade tools to the terrarium and even the stain choice, I think it shaped up to be a really unique piece. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

    It seems like ages since I last made a proper terrarium on the channel. So, I took the idea of a zen garden and combined it with a terrarium. What do you think of the result? I think it turned out awesome. I hope you all enjoyed the video and have a great weekend! PS - Sorry for the late upload. This one took AWHILE to edit.

      People hate on hot glue way too much. It has a specific use case and this is a perfect usage for it. No one is building houses with it, but for small crafts that aren’t moving much it’s perfect

      I respect people that use hot glue, largely because it means they have the patience of a saint if they can deal with all of the glue strings getting all over the place.
      They just drive me crazy, and are seemingly almost impossible to entirely remove, so I tend to avoid my hot glue gun like the plague.

    Hi Serpa! Another awesome vid! Funny thing is, I was just looking through your videos lately and did notice that it had been a while since you've done a terrarium build! Glad you're back at it.
    Quick question:
    You got me into terrariums this last year, and since then, I've been hooked. I followed your video on moss propagation for my first one. It's been great, and I've been able to find around ten different species to add. However, after a couple of months, mold started to appear. At first I just dunked the moss in a hydrogen peroxide + water mixture, which worked pretty well. It kept coming back though, so I added springtails. While I'm sure the springtails have been helpful, the mold remains. I can't use my old hydrogen peroxide mixture, because I read that it kills the springtails. I have the terrarium under this grow light for 10 hours a day. The moss is looking great, but the mold sort of ruins the aesthetic. Do you ever have similar problems with your setups? If so, what would you do about it in my case?

    • @SerpaDesign
      @SerpaDesign  2 года назад +5

      It can happen sometimes due to lack of airflow. If you can install a small fan on the side to keep the air moving, it should stop occurring. Something tiny like these should work. www.amzn.com/B08948MT6F/ EDIT get the 5V USB one.

    Spectacular !!! Its a most beautiful piece. I'm so happy you had a vision to use these for something other than a candle. Your design elevated the piece.

    I have recently seen a bunch of your videos. I notice that you use quite a bit of expanding foam, so I have a challenge. Make a bioactive terrarium, but make the whole background out of expanding foam. Like this if you want him to see this!
