    • @AnotherWorldTerraria
      @AnotherWorldTerraria  Před rokem +1

      Thank you. The one you're thinking about is the branch vivarium by Mikael (I think he owns or at least works for Dusk Tropic). I came up with my idea before I saw his work (as noted in my video), but I did find a lot of inspiration and learning from his project and photos. You could definitely do a vertical tree trunk terrarium.

    • @AnotherWorldTerraria
      @AnotherWorldTerraria  Před rokem +1

      At this time I generally don't recommend specific sources for plants because there are many sources and many types of plants, so each case varies, but most of my sources are just hobbyists and smaller or private vendors. It also depends where you live. Please check out www.anotherworldterraria.com/faq/#plant-sourcing which is a general summary of the types of sources I use, and has tips on how to build a network of sources for yourself. There are not any specific vendors listed there though. Following the suggestions might help you eventually uncover some sources that work for you. I hope that helps!

    @dshobe720 Před rokem +1

    Always like your art! I've been doing similar things with ceramic (glass) tile terrariums using my native North Carolina mosses, liverworts, and ferns. I like adding 1/4 inch drains so I don't have to siphon off excess water. Have you used clay in any of your designs yet? I've found it grows ground mosses well on walls.

    • @AnotherWorldTerraria
      @AnotherWorldTerraria  Před rokem

      Thank you! I wanted to use a bulkhead drain in the tank but that would have required a custom stand and I couldn't spend the money for find the space for that. Yes, I used clay in my Crown Forest terrarium. czcams.com/video/iG575pp8jgU/video.html

  • @AriHuttunen
    @AriHuttunen Před rokem +1

    Awesome work! I'm really interested what's the care regimen like? You said it's sealed and has a fan. Is misting done by hand only? Is the fine mist only for effect or is it on continuously?

    • @AnotherWorldTerraria
      @AnotherWorldTerraria  Před rokem +1

      misting by hand with a pump sprayer, often enough to keep the top moss and plants moist. I do it heavily enough to saturate the entire thing so all the moss and branch is dripping water down.

  • @thequeenofsporks

    • @AnotherWorldTerraria
      @AnotherWorldTerraria  Před rokem +1

      Thanks. If you mean spray the foam and attach the PVC and the wood right then with the foam, the reason why not is because it would be impossible to control the foam thickness and shape, or to prevent the wood from being displaced.

    It would be much better to use hardwood instead of cork. Cork will rot and must be replaced in 2-3 years.

      You definitely could. But that's not what I wanted to do. Also that would have a big risk of pests and pathogens. Not to mention it would not look how I wanted.
