Dream Island 360° Terrascape

Dream Island 360° Terrascape || Wabi-Kusa style Terrarium in a bell jar
I had bought a 3 lit cloche or bell jar at a discounted price on Amazon long back in the hope of using it in one of my projects. I have been toying with several design ideas since then. One of the things I really wanted was a build that would look great when viewed from from all sides and angles making it a truly 360° scape. Finally I decided on a design in my head and picked up the project. I used a planter bottom tray for the base since the cloche top was sitting inside the glass bottom plate making it difficult to build the scape directly on it. I selected some driftwood pieces from my collection and built a dead tree trunk using sponge filter fibers and super glue to stick them together. I used think pieces of driftwood for more detailing mimicking vines climbing up a tree. I applied a paste of aquasoil powder and sphagnum moss mixed with water on some of the cracks and crevices of the dead tree on which I later attached fissidens moss to it. Next I poured aquasoil on the plastic tray and placed the tree on it. I poured in more aquasoil around the base and proceeded to detail the scape further with some river stones. Next I sprayed the soil and proceeded with planting. Below are the plants I used for this scape
-Bolbitis Fern
-Alternanthera reineckii mini
-Anubias nana petite
-Hydrocotyle tripartita mini
-Bucephalandra sp sintang
-Ludwigia repens super red
-Ranunculus innandatus
-Moss
I added some more detailing in the form of riverstones and thin driftwood pieces. Next I gave the terrascape a thorough misting, added some springtails and closed it up.

Ok.....you have done it again.I dont have any words. Stunning result. I laughed when you didnt "like it" 100% and you open it and you add the details.
Great work like always. Thank you!

Thank you 🙏 for the kind words.

[@michaels5705]

Your artistry with the natural elements you work with is just awesome. I hope you do a two month review with this one to show how everything settles in. On a sad note; the terrarium I showed in the picture with the Organic Tote Bag I got from your merchandising had been doing well, then took moldy nose dive. I've got to figure out how to keep springtails alive and functioning. Thanks again for your channel, Sushanto.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you and yes I will do an update as usual. Sad to know about your terrarium. If the mold becomes too much just remove the moldy parts or rebuild it.

I love all these videos you put out. I would love to make something like that, if I did that, I would add white sand around the base of the planter and the rim of the glass bottom. I think that would really make it "pop"/stand out.

[@avinashnbhatt]

Hello Mentor, I just completed my first Terrarium (as a test) in a "Transparent plastic box" with Anubias, hydrocotyle tripartita and (Very few) Java moss. without springtails...
Question for you is
1) How many days once you need to water the plants ?
2) Do I need to make small hold so that air can pass ?
3) I'm going to keep on partial natural sunlight instead of artificial light, will this work ?
Thanks in advance :)

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you
1. Watering not needed unless it feels dry. Observe for water cycle and condensation
2.not needed
3.use artificial lights only.

There is no grass here and it is not recommended in such setups.
