Hello from India. I am inspired by your terrariums

How do you find the growth with a wooden lid where the light can't get through directly and a lamp overhead?

[franciscohompler]

Thanks for your videos! If you were to setup a closed terrarium that should live endlessly without interfering what soil would you use?

[maxderix]

Can you make a video on how to trim the plants and mosses?

[hobo]

I've heard the bottom part of the moss that you cut off can be used in place of sphagnum moss in the the substrate mix. Is this true? If not, is there another good use for that bottom part, or does it just get thrown away?

Love your videos, quick Q though, as a beginner the substrate mix looks like it could be quite expensive "to just have a go", is there a ready mix that you'd recommend?

How did u make the cork on a stick thing?? It looks really helpful

[dannyadragna]

I made a terrarium based off of one of your previous videos but I have a question. Inside the rocks and sticks are both visibly wet/saturated, is this a sign that there’s too much moisture in it or it that okay?

[thelittlethingsinlife]

Looks good. I've made ecospheres on my channel. Like your designs 🙂

[bearyfishy]

Can you skip the orchid bark for the soil mix? Or is there an alternative choice? Because I can't find it in my town.

[ianm]

Good video. 1 question does the plants roots not get stuck in the mesh ?

[thatjellyfish]

Love the video! Question. I can't source Orchid bark locally, and I don't want to order online if I can help it (not patient when it comes to mail lol) is there anything else I could substitute it that would do the same as the orchid bark?

how abt some HOLES on the lid for air circulation

[dakota]

My cushion moss turned brown and died. Any tips? Is it possible for a light to be too strong? The moss was in a gecko enclosure

[rockethuan]

what other creatures can be added in a self sustaining terrarium?

[anng.]

I've not been able to find plain worm castings what I have found is "organic compostwith worm castings" mix at our local hardware store Would this work????
