Build a Waterfall Terrarium for only $82

- In this video, I demonstrate how to make a mini waterfall in a jar; pretty much a mini paludarium. It's great for small spaces and for people who are on a tight budget.
If you are going to replicate this for yourself, DO NOT USE a fine grained sand like I did. The sand may be able to pass through the filter foam. This can damage the filter and significantly reduce its lifespan. Instead, use rocks or a LARGE gravel. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments below.
Products I used:
Filter Foam: amzn.to/3wRvdg7
Spray Foam: amzn.to/3JLEVEo
Light: amzn.to/3wGOUHn
Silicone: amzn.to/3qBAuEx
Pump: amzn.to/3wIE1EC
Sphagnum Moss: amzn.to/3uu5qHF

Quick side note! DO NOT USE a fine grained sand like I did. The sand may be able to pass through the filter foam. This can damage the filter and significantly reduce its lifespan. Instead, use rocks or a LARGE gravel. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments below.
Cool
How do u change the filter?
Yes! Course sand is also better for plant routes and water flow in the base for beneficial bacteria 🌿🌱
I ate mine. What happens now?
pls make a massive fish aquarium that also doubles as a gecko/lizard home as well i love seeing animals coexist with one another
I mean, I've never watched these types of videos but I'm entertained af. The content is not spread out over 20 minutes like usual but it's in just the right amount of time and the pacing that keeps me glued to this. Amazing job
Attention deficiency.
Right?
@@alexgomez6723 More like most content creators stretch their videos just to increase watchtime and put more ads without adding extra value to the video
@@aggromob1 Yeah, we weren’t really talking about those now where we?
Lol just discovered them, why i can't stop watching it
Dude if this cost $82 to make i would so pay $180 for a ready one without the plants of course, this is freaking awesome!
Someone is definitely doing that at a small scale. Decent business if there's demand or your marketing is good.
but not for 100 profit, then youre out of business quick
We need to give this guy more credit. He spends lots of money, is very creative, and works very hard. He is the man
Love the consistent content! Can’t wait to see an update on the lizards and the crabs. I’m curious to make a terrarium one day; never been interested in it before but your videos are inspiring. a beginners tutorial with important info to know would be great!
I also have found a huge interest in terrariums because of your videos and I think you should make another more in depth tutorial on how to create one with all of the elements such as the misting system and how to chose an enclosure that suits your needs. As well as what different kinds of animals to put in them
Same
@@reaganboettcher7984 absolutely would love to see this!
Same! I'd love to build one this winter as I'll have a lot of free time and it looks like a fun and rewarding project!
Big fan of vivariums.
Start a blog my man. Just discovered you and love the videos. Would love a step by step guide where you can give a little more details and give a full break down of materials used for all your builds. Another great little way to funnel some monetization for the Amazon associate links as well. Keep up the good work. You inspire me to make this my new hobby!
Thank you! I just joined the amazon associate program actually, I’m going to use the extra money to invest in better recording equipment!
Bit yeah here but yeah I agree on the blog idea. Would be interested in a place to go to get further step by step instructions and resources on where to find things. This is definitely going to be a new hobby of mine as well!

Yea, I found his channel today and I’ve already watched most of his videos
Found this channel the other day and have really enjoyed your stuff, the builds are super cool and your videos are super chill and funny without being too youtubery.
You’ve inspired me to to make my first terrarium! The supples are coming in today from Amazon I’m so pumped!
Awesome!! I’d love go see it when you’re done! If you have time, email me a picture at thedrplants@gmail.com
How did it go? :)
It could have gone much better! I ended up going to a plant nursery near my house that wasn’t well stocked with tropical plants that do well in closed environment. I got 3 that were shakily recommended and after 5 months only one is still alive. I put snails and other small insects in that may have contributed to the other 2 plants failing though. Overall I really enjoyed doing it and look at it every day!
Got pictures?
Good job😊😊😊
I like these smaller builds, gives us a way in so to speak. Some videos about maintenance, your general experience in which plants to choose and position and why would be great.
That is beautiful! In the winter it will add humidity/moisture to your room, too.
Thank you for this video! And thank you also for including links for the supplies! I am currently building a waterfall aquarium using an old glass pitcher, and to be able to watch what you did certainly helps.
Your videos are amazing. I love watching them. The one with the palidarium are so calming and comforting to watch.
I'm so excited for this new video! Your humor and editing skills make all of these builds both relaxing and entertaining to watch!
Oh my gosh, this is so cool! I might use this design with my birthday gift for my mom, who recently became interested in bioactive enclosures. I might use this as a reference, as i think a waterfall would be pretty cool!
I just bought everything from the links you shared below! I'll be making one of these for myself and seeing if I enjoy the craft. If I do find out that I like the whole process.... I am tempted towards making the paludarium you made... starting slow and working my way up to animals just as you have.
Wish I found this channel sooner, like my god. This content is perfect for a science and nature lover like me! Keep going man, you’re making amazing content and amazing little enclosures!
Man, I almost hate you for these builds, it makes me so tempted to do them myself! Amazing job as always, super excited to see what's next ❤
loving these smaller build videos in between your huge projects!
youre a legend buddy, i never done one of these but i like this alot
Can't wait for a full update. Those shrimp are huge!
Your creations and your vivarium videos are simply some of the best on the internet. The photography, voicing, lighting, music, are smooth and in perfect harmony. Thank you for sharing your creative passion with the world. I continue to lean and be amazed.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!!
Me too ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🐋🦋🦊🐥💮🌸💐

I love how you make a lot of beautiful terrariums and keep them beautiful 👍🏼🤩🌿
Just found your channel today Dr. Plants! Very calming and informative videos. Might have found myself a new hobby and thank you for the amazing editing and quality videos! I’ve been binging for the last half hour happily
I just want to say I have only watched two of your videos and am already obsessed. You should sell these creations of yours for us lazy folks. This one in particular would make an awesome gift, low to no maintenance but real cool and visually interesting.
Thank you!
I like the idea. It prevents you from needing misting device
That's so pretty! And probably not even super expensive. Good job!
I'm really enjoying all of this content, I absolutely look forward to seeing more!
My absolute favorite channel these days!
Well I just found this channel and immediately watched all your videos. This is great content!
How have I not seen your channel before.
I love the pacing of it, I never get bored watching your videos. I'm binging all the videos right now ♥️Can't wait to see the channel grow further
with a slightly higher water level, this would make a perfect little house for a small aquatic snail or two! they'd love the moving water above the little pond so it's easy to spend time up there
I love waterfalls. Went to Niagara Falls many years ago. Your smaller creation looked nice 😊
Just found your channel today (first vid watched was the year long overview of the cannibal jungle) and so far I love the content! I have a small hobby of making little terrariums and these videos are a great source of inspiration. I haven’t experimented with any live plants/critters or anything like that (just fake plants and props) but might have to tinker around with some live plant life at least or water terrariums in general
You make some of the best looking vivariums I’ve seen on CZcams
I love all the things you make! Thanks for sharing with us!!!
I stumbled over this channel and have been binge watching every video. Can't wait for new ones.
Thanks to you I just finished building something very similar to yours, I bought everything off your Amazon list because I wasn’t too sure where to start and too buy. This is gonna become my new hobby thanks to you. Thanks my man wish I can show you mines
Glad I could help! Send a picture to my email thedrplants@gmail.com
Amazing build! And great content as usual, keep it up 😁
Awesome!!! Thank you 😘
You look younger than I would've guessed from your voice! That makes your skills and knowledge on all the life forms even more impressive!
I just watched your last 10 videos in one sitting which lead to this one. Awesome content and fun hobby! Thanks for the informative and entertaining videos!
I love this!!! Not sure how this channel came across my timeline but I’m glad it did.
Dude u need to upload more.... its really satisfying to watch and knowledgeable. Stay safe God bless✨
Hey Dr Plants ,you have the best video series on this subject I have ever seen .They are highly entertaining ,interesting,informative and, at times, funny, when you let loose your sense of humour.I highly recommend your videos to anyone who loves nature, which actually is most of us I reckon. Cheers.Hope you make many more.
I appreciate it!
I love your channel!!! I am very much looking forward to seeing more from you. Very beautiful setups.
Pure talent, absolutely beautiful
Between this and your jungle setup, subbed. Keep the cool content coming!!!
Cool. I might use this as a brine shrimp tank 😊
Thanks this is so cool definitely gonna try making one. I hope it goes well.
crazy build! Cant wait for the next one!
It is not the hard scape or plants that make this scape beautiful , it's his creativity
Great build going to give this a try I have several similar set ups but no waterfalls yet 👍
Just make sure you leave a access spot to get to the pump to clean it out...when it's time.
This is wonderful! I want to make something like this for myself now. Thank you:)
wow i have to make one of these some day when i have more space for lamps and such
Super cute build I love it!
I love you work and you have inspired me to try this myself, thanks for the inspiration 😁👍
That is so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you. xo
That looks amazing!
You sir are an artist!
Nice build mate.
I would love to do my own builds, looks like a great hobby and the result gives up such a chill vibe.
Great job 🤙
Simple but awesome 👏
I love all your videos DR PLANT 👍
Gonna make one for my girlfriend, I already have the jar and pump just have to get the rest, thanks for the inspiration, great video
Hahah awesome!
Hey man, love this build!
How would one maintain this tiny terrarium? Do you need to exchange the water, remove algae etc?
Thanks!
It looks beautiful 😍
Only instead of music if you could add the cool sound of water falling at the end.
Omg this is sooo beatyfull and easy to make! I think I will build my own waterfall soon. Thank you so much!
Love your videos. Keep making them please.
Woah. Very cool and well done!
I wanna see the Paludarium please! I keep thinking about it xD great stuff btw keep it up.
Such an amazing build !
So... you have a new subscriber! You have inspired me to create my own slice of jungle. I have been going through a really rough period of life lately, and I have used plants as one of my therapy, I am so excited to assemble my paluderium and I hope it comes out well. If you still have a empty pot in your paluderium I would highly recommend a lemon button fern, they are so pretty!
Awesome! I’m happy I was able to help, if you have any questions feel free to ask!
@@TheDrPlants well actually, I am planning on incorporating a waterfall/drip wall, but I'm struggling to figure put where to place my pump where it is concealed, but also has enough access to water... I want to have my water feature up front with a land portion towards the back... I'm not sure if you could help me with that or not... but either way is fine. 💚🌿
Meanwhile me, having part of a creek. No filters, no buying materials. It even has fish and crawfish/crawdads. Just the beauty of my backyard
I really like the waterfall and all the effort ❤😊☺️
Amazing build, amazing channel, excited for more content!
That is so beautiful
Look so beautiful easy tysm for simple
I have just discovered and subscribed to your channel and so happy I did ! Your videos are great and I definitely want to try this waterfall.
Very talented.. Great work! Keep up the good work and more Videos
Every one that has watched his video has learned that nature is Beautiful
Underrated channel, no doubt
Awesome! I love it. It be cool if there was a creative or a simple discrete way to hide the electrical cords which are distracting from beauty the waterfall jar.
I just tried this with my friend its incredible
Your editing skills is really improving, keep it up!
Yoooo. Mad cool. When I get my own place I really want one of those
Your my #1 youtuber for things like these, you gave me so much inspiration.
Thank you!
I will be making one of these now!!
Wow thank you thank you
i love your videos, all this terratiums are piece of art. I beleive that will be a great idea if you make the waterfall in larger scale as part of a ecosystem of tropical rainforest with kind of cave behind the watrfall
I've lots of tropical houseplants and wanna make a portable living wall rainforest using this technique, I'll maybe start from making a small jar first though
Wish I could make that that’s super cool
Love what u do!!! Chill ,fascinating, and knowledge all through out. Ur even making me want to try and build one of these lol
I wish you can seel these. They put a nice ambience to a dark room.
It is crazy ! You are awesome boy !
LOVE your vids, you have so much talent, can't wait for more!!♥️♥️
Cool build, I like it. Might try myself in the future.😀👍
Looks great!
Fantastic work again Doc, I honestly usually find videos that lack animals bland but this was extremely informative, entertaining and amusing and is an extremely innovative build.
P.S. Your finger, the band aid, who hurt you? Such violence shall not be tolerated towards our neighbourhood plant doctor 😂😂
LOL thanks Conan
You are a top notch DIY er i love your channel!
I love water falls!!!❤😂😊
❤️ Great project 😊
BRUH THE TALENT-
