    Avoid These Terrarium Mistakes To Ensure A Healthy Ecosystem (Closed Terrarium Observations after 4.5 years)
    The video covers the journey of my closed terrarium "Forest in a glass jar" built in October of 2019. The terrarium is not in a great shape today and I go back in time to discuss the things I could have avoided or done differently for a much better and long lasting results. I have this opportunity today to share my mistakes and learnings so that you don't have to repeat them.
    And yes the container used in the rebuild has a clear or transparent lid/top with a steel rim holding it in place.
    Here are the links to the original build video and the two updates:

    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.

    I'm glad to see you help us learn to manage when things go wrong. Which they do with mine more frequently than success. Thanks you for the effort and time involved in making these clips. I always look forward to them.

    One thing I never heard on the internet and had to learn it myself:
    Springtails love eating fittonia for some reason. So I guess use the little guys sparingly in fittonia scapes

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist

      I feel springtails mostly go for dead and decaying part of the plant not the fresh parts. But again there could be many unknown facts and theories. Thanks for sharing

    I have a cylinder glass just like this one. It has a whole defect in the bottom, I'm thinking better for draining. I'm going to start drilling with a glass bit on all my terrariums that are small

    Wonderful video and the rebuild captured the essence of the previous terrarium. May I ask, is the moss you used riccardia chamedryfolia?

    bhai can you please expalin what is actiivated carbon and what is the difference between the coal that we get in the market

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist
      @TheUrbanNemophilist  Před 2 měsíci +1

      A type of carbon known as “activated charcoal” has undergone particular processing to expand its surface area and improve its capacity to adsorb (not absorb) specific chemicals. Activated charcoal, as opposed to conventional charcoal, has been processed in a way that leaves it with a high surface area and a number of holes and channels on its surface, allowing it to attach to molecules and pollutants in a way that regular charcoal cannot.

      It is a treo jar with a transparent acrylic lid held in place by a steel rim. It’s not opaque. amzn.to/3Qm99mH

    Sir can I use inactivated charcoal in terrarium ?

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist
      @TheUrbanNemophilist  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Yes. However activated carbon is more effective in absorbing the pollutants.
