  • Terrariums are quite popular at the moment and can cost a pretty penny in the stores, but they are relatively easy and affordable to do, as Steve from Steve's Leaves shows us here. Steve believes in minimalism when it comes to terrariums, as he'll show here, so I'm curious to hear how others build theirs!
    As far as links, you can check out Steve’s Leaves at his website here: bit.ly/2A85P5W.

    I have several glass bowls and jars lined up outside. I was going to clean them up and sell them at my yard sale. Now I believe I will fill them as small terrariums.

    Omg is that really Steve? The Steve of Steve's leaves? I love his plants! Lots of my babies came from his greenhouses and I can always tell they were loved before I received them! He's the best!

    This makes me so happy, I am so glad that I found this video! Thank you so much for this. I have been wanting to create terrariums for so long but never had the money to do so but now I know that some things are not always a need. Thank you! Love your channel too!

    These are great tips! I have started my first closed terrarium 3 months ago, with 2 fittonias and 1 ivy in the same jar. After some research I hoped they would survive and that I would provide the right conditions and it turns out I did. They are doing amazing and I'm so happy that I've made in my first try. I have used gravel and charcoal though. Thank you for this video! I love watching them so much!

      Georgiana Petu I've been growing fittonia in a bowl shape glass terrarium now for over a year- it was my first plant and got me into growing. I've just started trying to propogate from it (going well so far i think). I mist my fittonia's leaves semi regularly and it's thrived and been a great starter plant for me as someone living in a humid area

    Sorry Summer, I was asking a question and my cat stepped on my I pad. My plants are turning brown on the tips. Not all of them, but my spider and Dracena, and a small number of smaller plants. I love your site, keep up the good work. Many thanks for all the great information you give you fans.

    • @Natasha23Walton
      @Natasha23Walton Před 3 lety

      Try using rain water, or distilled water I believe. Spider plants specifically are sensitive to what may be in tap water, such as small quantities of iodine or chlorine. So if you happen to be using tap try a different source of water.

      No.

    • @summerrayneoakes

      no terrarium I know has holes, which is why occasionally some people put faux drainage with rocks/charcoal layer :)

    Hi Summer, I love your channel. I kept and then lost a couple plants that I just saw you guys pot up in the terrarium....could you maybe id the one with tiny round blue green leaves for me? I'd love to try growing it again if I find it....I never knew what it was to research care requirements....thanks for any help...

    Is it ok to grow fern with cactus in a port or aquarium together ?

    • @jfredjz
      @jfredjz Před 5 lety +2

      Well, ferns and cacti have very different needs when it comes to care because they come from very different places. You might be able to grow them together if you keep them in separate containers within a large terrarium. So for example, keep the cactus in its original plastic pot and water it far less often than the fern but faux plant the cactus in the soil. However, even with doing this you may run the risk of not giving the fern enough humidity or the cactus too much so it would definitely be an experiment and would really depend on the type of fern.

    I really love his plant collection ..however- that is not a terrarium. I mean that literally is a plant in a bowl - terrarium is an ecosystem that can sustain on its own without much interference really. I've been keeping terrariums for years and that is definitely not how you do it.

  • @tropicalterrarium1742
    @tropicalterrarium1742 Před 4 lety +2

    This guy offers some good advice. However he is not a terrarium guy. He keeps saying that the gravel does not soak up much water, when in reality it soaks up lots of water. It acts as a reservoir. He also mentioned plucking a plant out after it dies, that tells everything.

    Unconventional on the watering. I have a few that I use a kitchen scale and water based on the weight of the entire thing. Track the weight and I know when it needs more water and how much water to add.
