How closed terrariums work and the science behind them.

A closed terrarium is a self-sufficient ecosystem that is created inside a clear enclosed container replicating a piece of nature. It is built with substrate, natural materials and moisture loving plants. It is essentially a miniature ecosystem that is able to effectively sustain itself with almost no interference from outside.

But have you ever wondered how a terrarium actually works? How is it able to sustain life inside an enclosed space without having access to the outside atmosphere?

I have tried to explain the science behind closed terrariums in this video in the most simple way that is easy to understand. Hope you all like it.

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 agree with others, thank you for providing the science behind our terrariums. As always, your terrariums are beautiful to admire as you film over them, giving us all some inspiration.

Where did you get your jars with the window in the lid at 01:18 from? I love these.

That was such a phenomenal quick explanation of what happens inside the system. You explained it so well, and made it very easy to understand. Thank you (:

What a great presentation. Thanks for this one, it was good hearing the science behind terrariums. You have so many beautiful living creations. It must be very gratifying.

This is what I'm finding to embark the terrarium research. Your video is so GREAT, helpful info and condensed knowledge. Thank you so much.

Really thorough presentation! Very polished and clearly articulated with great visuals. Nicely done!

This is pretty informative! Thank you!

Hey ! I just want to tell you you give me the love of terrarium. I'm french, and the terrariums solded in shops of my country are so ugly and "synthetic". You give me an other face of the art of terrarium : imitate the chaos of the nature and creating a true ecosystem. You're my biggest source of inspiration, and i love your zen attitude :)

Pls sir make a video regarding summer season. How to keep the right temperature for terrarium.

beautfiful explanation of the science behind these mini-earths! I've always been particularly interested by that aspect.

I jumped right down this rabbit hole 😂❤ thank you for this incredible gift!

sir will addition of denitrifying bacteria used in aquariums help the terrarium environment ?

Thanks for this. I just built a 50 gallon terrarium for an eastern ringneck snake and based on this everything seems to be working correctly. My main concern is the breakdown of dead matter and the cleanup of mold and harmful bacteria. Its entirely native and should replicate the snakes natural habitat. I also raised an aquarium full of treefrog tadpoles to add as a food source for the snake which ill add as they develop into frogs. The frogs should also be able to eat the springtails and isopods as they grow. I still need something to eat the snails because they are breeding out of control.
