[dianemummvideos]

I love the look of terrariums! Have a few of my own too.

[42Kissess]

I want to use this for my fly trap. Do I still need the moss? Thanks for the video. :)

[epicfantasy]

@42Kissess nope, you don't need the moss. good luck and have fun!

[MrShinigamie]

1 person didn't seem to find it a good vid, curious how his terrarium looks like :)

[gks0682]

@epicfantasy - I know that some terrariums need a layer of charcoal underneath. Which plants is this best for? and also, is it true that the charcoal has to be "activated"?

[epicfantasy]

@gks0682 Sensitive plants benefit the most from the charcoal. plants that need cleaner water. And it definitely has to be activated. you can buy it in aquarium stores and pet shops. Otherwise the charcoal will contaminate the water rather than purify it.

@epicfantasy

FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!

[AReptileMan]

Does it need to have an air hole?

[epicfantasy]

@AReptileMan Nope, it can be sealed right up. but you have to watch it closely for a week or two to be sure you have the right amount of water in there.

[ballpython1995]

im preety sure a terrarium is a tank for reptiles lol

[delaisla777]

@ballpython1995 terrarium is for reptiles, amphibians, etc where terra stands for land and rium comes from aquarium since these habitats usually entail both land and water as necessary for proper keeping of certain pets

[aaronreina]

Nice, To the point and basic!

where can you get the moss and how much and can you use marbles instead of pebles

[epicfantasy]

To make this easy terrarium you can get moss at any store like lowes, home depot. any place that sells plants. And you can use marbles instead of pebbles, probably would look rather nice.

[skidder151]

thanks and i made a micro terrarium ill post a vidio response

[epicfantasy]

Cool, looking forward to seeing your micro terrarium!

[skidder151]

i will wait for it to grow then show it

[wolfspower]

May I ask how much may this cost one? Im planning on making one but I'm not sure if I have enough money.

[epicfantasy]

Hard to say. If you can scrounge up the container out of something, find the pebbles and good soil outside you just have to buy a plant and some spaghnum moss, maybe ten dollars total. You could even transplant a nice flowering plant you find outside and bring the cost down more.

[wolfspower]

thanks for replying so early lol i love you diorama videos there so cool i want to make one but i dont have enough money xD

[kcssnotbubble]

oah and i would buy the soil. i've used outside dirt and it brought in bugs with it. the soil has a lot of nutrients for your plant to last longer anyway so it's worth the buck or two

[richard2mitchell]

how do u know when to water it?

can u see the water in the papples?

[epicfantasy]

You have to check see if the soil is moist. And there should be a bit of water in the pebbles. Not a whole lot but not dry!

[richard2mitchell]

o ok

[kcssnotbubble]

get a container at goodwill

i've seen potting soil at dollar generals for $2

and a small plant like that won't be any more that $10 at meijer or walmart. they're probably closer to $5 depending on what you get.

you can find rocks outside in someone's driveway when they aren't home or in a creek. they also have some at dollar stores.

so that's like $8-$14 depending on what you get

[drroberson4]

You could easily get the rocks from Dollar General in the gardening section...for only $1. I bought a fittonia for only 2.50 (Walmart), my jar cost 5.99 from TJ Maxx, moss cost 2.49 from Michael's, and soil I got from my parents, lol. So it was relatively cheap and fun to do, lol. To be honest I was a bit frazzled at first because of how messy it was and I had to change the arrangement around about 3 times...

[ilovewubbzy]

cool i always wanted to make one of those...

[stumpythumper]

Terr-ific!

I like the funnel idea.

[convidspro]

great work!!!

im going to ask my mum to buy supplies as soon as she gets home!

[epicfantasy]

Thanks and Nice! You should go with her so you can pick out the container and the plant!

[itachi1303]

Do you think that you could actually start a plant in one of those terrariums? What I mean is to raise the plant from a seed.

[epicfantasy]

Absolutely!

[watersignwater]

Great! I will make some for my store to sell!

[epicfantasy]

Should be easy and profitable. If you have an eye for bottle shapes and plants you will do well i think.

[kiravintio]

neat project! the layers really add to the aesthetics.

[epicfantasy]

Thanks for watching!

[youtubasoarus]

Well done!

[epicfantasy]

Thankyou!

[Ashgangabar]

Cool!

[epicfantasy]

Thanks!
