Beautifull !! Such a cool idea for on a TV cabinet under a TV or above a TV over its entire length.. I might steal your idea if you dont mind... 🥰 Love it !!
Most Buce can be grown in an aquarium. Yes, some leaves will probably melt as it transitions. I can't say for sure in every case, nor have I tried to grow them submersed.
12:20 how is that a "boring fact of the day"? Maybe we wanna know what that substrate is! 🤔 🤣 I’m one of those gravel and substrate-obsessive people. I have all kinds of bags of stuff. I should try the calcined clay. Actually; I think it could work instead of LECA or Pon in a semi-hydro setup. The clay would act like the LECA, by wicking moisture and nutrients up, plus the smaller particles are good for finer-rooted plants, like ferns or Peperomia. Another similar product that you may wanna try is Oil-Dri, the floor spill absorber. They’re just gray slate-colored clay flakes, instead of clay balls. It has so many uses. It’s been a godsend for me for DIY Pon mixes and for general substrate aeration. And best of all, 50 lbs is easily purchased for under $50. Not sure how that compares to other substrates but I know it’s much more affordable.
Haha, yeah I'm a substrate fiend as well. I've got bags and containers of all kinds of stuff too. And I tend to use a lot of different things in my substrate mixes (I almost never use a substrate for a plant which doesn't have at least 4+ ingredients). There are lots of cool media to explore. Monto Clay (similar to Turface) is another good one.
i just discovered your channel with this video, its exactly the kind of content i love! your step by step video style is similar to tanner serpa! the end result is beautiful. i subscribed!
One other nice item I've been using as plant trays is the thick plastic boot trays, sold during the cold season to place winter boots on them to contain the snow that clinged to the boots. In season, those can be found in hardware stores or, even better, at the Dollar store. They sell for like 5$ each at the Dollar store, most models are rectangular shaped and often I can find some that are about 4ft long by 1.5 to 2ft wide. Basically, they're a good fit for regular 4ft x 2ft shelves, you just need to find the correct model. Been using these for all my plants for at least 8 years now, they're still perfectly fine with no sign of wear. I even used one for watering from below, aka the "tray method" for carnivorous plants like Drosera. But I think they're best used as regular plant trays since they're not that deep, hence don't contain that much water.
How does shipping the unidentified/ undocumented plants and species work out with customs? Surely they have to inspect them for hitchhiking insects and what not right? Even if it’s for conservation purposes, they still have to check things out yeah?
Correct. All plants must follow the specified governmental and regulatory processes for permits, inspections, etc. All of my plants are obtained through legitimate sources with proper documentation and shipping, or from friends or contacts.
Never bothered me but I kept it in a spot where I wasn't subjected to the sound constantly. I wouldn't put it somewhere like a bedroom or near a TV. But I think most people would get used to it and kind of zone it out.
What bothers me is; I was told and read that terrariums are low maintenance and easy for beginners. I bought all the equipment for one and now I have to wait almost a year in quarantine before i can plant.🤨 Seems not worth it. Who knows if i will even care a year from now with no results to see.? There has got to be a easier way to get started. Also, does moss really need to be quarantined for 9 months too if you buy from a reputable company?
I understand your concern. Quarantine is a preference, it is NOT required. Each person has to decide on their comfort level for the risk involved. For most people making simple terrariums with common plants, skipping quarantine is probably fine. Quarantine is more for very rare plants and large collections where the spread of pests and disease could be catastropic. In other words, you get to decide if / how much quarantine you want, and how simple or complex the hobby is. I think you should just make your terrarium and go for it without a quarantine. The goal is to have fun! Again, with the moss, not necessary for you to quarantine.
@@AnotherWorldTerraria Thank you so much for your reply. And I can understand what you mean about quarantine for rare plants and having such a huge garden and investment. It has relieved me to know that I can keep my journey going, knowing that there might be hiccups along the way, but as a newbie to this hobby, I can seek some instant rewards. When I was learning guitar, someone stated, "learn songs or you'll start getting bored". I equate that to building my first terrarium. Get one built or soon you will become bored. I've learned a lot from your blogs and videos. Thank you for you hard work and quick response.
do you have a recommendation for a humidity/hydrometer to put in an enclosure that is waterproof? I have 2 vivosun gauges with a probe and if the probe gets misted, it quits working! Vivosun told me the probe isn't waterproof! seems silly to make a product to be in a grow tent that is not waterproof - just misting the probe a bit ruins it!!!
A hygrometer cannot be completely waterproof because it requires that air can reach the sensor. It would be best to avoid misting the sensor. Depending what you have the sensor in, you might try to put something over it to shield it from the spray, but that might affect the readings a bit.
Oops, I cannot figure out how to attach a photo. Anyway, it is material to cover speakers Speaker Grill Cloth Stereo Mesh Fabric for Speaker Repair. If not, what should I look for?
It's hard to say without looking at detailed photos because it can vary in thickness. I looked around and found this one Amazon which is available currently. Make sure to check the measurements of the product and of the size of tent you're making, so you buy enough fabric. amzn.to/3X4DcDx
Video ideas: -substrate medias to keep in stock -fertilizers -how to inspect, prep, and clean new plants These are mainly videos that I would LOVE to see you make lol.
Very cool. I have a few Licuala mattanensis 'Mapu' seeds that have just started germinating like a month ago, about 9-10 months after sowing them. It's interesting because one seed only took like 3 months. I had almost given up on the rest.
Congratulations, that's awesome! That is quite a dramatic difference in germination time. Glad you held on for the remaining ones. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video!
Do you think it is possible to sterilize fern spores with sodium hypochlorite? Another thing I'm wondering is how you manage to keep the substrate in a closed container, without mold developing and without having sterilized it first.
I can't say about the fern spores. I have never heard of someone sterilizing spores. I think there's less chance of issues with the spores vs a seed in terms of fungal / bacterial. As far as substrate, that's a good question. The ingredients I use are all relatively clean , and I don't store them "wet," I mix them and then moisten them. Further, bark and sphagnum are very resistant to fungal growth. You could certainly sterilize the substrate if you wanted to (I think most people do that for growing fern spore, if that's your interest). For the palm seed substrate, I just didn't think it was necessary. The seed was important because it has a bit of soft stuff on the seed which can tend to decay and then it can grow fungus or bacteria (from the fruit stuff) Hopefully that all makes sense and answers your questions
Try to wash the fresh frond with water and a tiny bit of dish soap... Rinse off thoroughly, let it dry and then harvest the spore. You can use photo lens cleaning paper to separate spore from spore cases.
@@AnotherWorldTerraria There isn't many, but would be nice to see more in the hobby! In Colombia, I saw so many tiny ones that had fruit at less than a foot tall.
I have not tried drastically different color temperatures. I always go for the "natural white" lights (never the pink, purple, etc grow lights). I generally try to get in the 5000K-6500K range because the appearance is pleasing.
