The urban nemophilist lives in the city but his heart and soul lives in the forest and wherever there is green.
The celebration of colours, the ambient sounds, the mystic scent and the fascinating wildlife that make up the forestlands and waterbodies of our earth is the elixir of his life.
The urban nemophilist attempts to capture all of this through his green art and sustainable gardening activities while his sketching and music sets up the mood for what is nature-appreciation at its best.
His goal is to create awareness on conservation of nature and wildlife through is art and sustainable initiatives.

wonderful and inspiring job! i just tried out my first terrarium a few weeks ago, but unfortunately the pothos cutting has failed to root and is dying. there is also fern and creeping fig in there, but i can't tell if they are growing or not. on the positive side, the moss and the rocks are doing great haha! i hope you plan on making an update video on this jar, i really like it

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. Heres an update

It' is really good very pleasing to watch the making.
I just prepared one and i got a few doubts.
1. How often we need to spray water
2. Is light required like a aquarium

Does anybody know if there are any disadvantages in simply placing the piece of charcoal with the springtails on it in the enclosed terrarium?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

No problem with that. But it may conflict with the design unless you have planned it out to blend with the scape.

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Thanks, that is really helpful, but I can't seem to find the first 2 springtails to start a culture. I don't know where to find them. They don't show up under my plant pots.

@@curiositytube5924 get to your garden. Place some dried leaves, mulch or humus in a damp dark corner and springtails will make it home overtime

what is the glue used to keep moss on the wood?

Super glue. Thank you

I really liked the video, but why is it in slow motion?
