Avatar inspired Floating Terrascape (Terrarium)

Learn to build an Avatar inspired Floating Terrascape (Terrarium)
I had bought a cork lid jar from Amazon (link below) and decided to build an Avatar inspired floating mountain terrascape using it. Ideally I would have liked to have a bigger jar but I had to work with what I have in hand. I proceeded to create a hardsacpe with driftwood which I partly covered with a paste of aquasoil and Sphagnum moss so that I can plant some moss on it. After I had added the moss, I proceeded to add some plants (Bolbitis Fern, Anubias and Peperomia prostrata) on it. I also added some details to the scape with thin pieces of driftwood. Next I used some fishing line wire and a bent copper wire to hang the terrascape from the cork lid which I then carefully placed inside the glass container. I really like how it turned out.

Your creativity has reached another level. It is very unique and very beautiful. When I saw the finished product, I thought, 'Maybe it should be exhibited in the Chelsea Flower Show." Awesome!

Thank you 🙏

This is magnificent! I imagine this would be very maintenance heavy though. I'd love to see an update!

Epic! I have a question... it's possible use a carnivore plant in a eternal terrarium? Thank you, are the best!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. Possible I think with some ventilation

Thank you

[@jessedwards6432]

Love your videos. I would love to see how you would scape a blown glass driftwood bowl. There quite interesting on their own but I think they would make a cool terrarium or aqua scape.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. I would like to try one too.

[@marialfilipe2054]

Uau!!!!!
Amazing!!!!!

Fascinante !!!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks

[@tomkhenks1645]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Aztecs911]

Your the master. A video listing the plants that can be used via cuttings would be cool. I'm guessing not all live via cutting from mother plant.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes not all survive from cuttings. Heres one that does. Thank you

[@yattaman8881]

😊👍 I like your craft. I'd like to do some like this but I'm worried about the cork lid going moldy.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. Cork never gets moldy in my experience. Give it a go.

[@natha1386]

Thank you for showing us how you make such amazigh terrarium. May I ask you if you think possible to make this with Moss taken with its soil in nature? Thanks again

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes. Thanks

[@scooterlovya]

This' cool

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks

[@hilaryyoung3130]

So beautiful! A question: I have access to driftwood from the ocean. Will that kill these plants? Is yours from freshwater sources? Thanks!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. You can use I think. Boil it in water.

[@hilaryyoung3130]

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Thanks! Makes sense.

[@kt8828]

This is surreal. I was wondering how you made the substrate for this? Also how long can the plants live for? I’m not sure how the aquasoil can be replenished. Thank you :)

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. I powdered aquasoil in a grinder and mixed with Sphagnum moss and water to form a paste. Plants can live long with some care and maintenance. Soil need not be replenished. Liguid ferts can be used to replenish nutrients for plants.

[@kt8828]

@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you very much

[@micaelpereiradossantos6589]

Muito lindo

Thanks

[@stevenwu19891125]

I find it hard for the copper wire to hold on to the weight of the stone haha. Maybe my stone is too heavy

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Wood is lighter

[@ruhsexperimentsgliesperimentid]

No water on the bottom? for manteining humidity?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

It accumulated after a few days post misting
