I'm really excited to share this one! It's been in concept for a while now and I love how it turned out. What do you think? Let me know, enjoy, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

@chaosstripe9446 Год назад

Turned out really great! Would care for this apply to the moss living wall to?

@K.S.D_yokid Год назад

I think there should be a pilea garden next

@richardjohnson1076 Год назад

I really want to try this some day. Thanks for sharing!

@rat_dragon Год назад

I've been dying to do something almost exactly like this but all I've ever come up with is a magnetic container on my mini fridge filled with moss and springtails

@sandramartin2713 Год назад

I definitely love this. And something I want to do for myself. But after watching you all I think about is Christmas and what a beautiful gift this would be for special friends and family! Absolutely love this!

@creator3090 Год назад

could you try making something using cactus (and other very low watering plants) ? It's not exactly your style but i think you can do something very cool and refreshing from you usual tropical builds. also as always great video

@Gaudybaubles Год назад

I actually just made a biosphere a few weeks ago with two ghost shrimp and a ramshorn. They've all adjusted really well considering that I caught them out of the lake in my backyard

@pencilpauli9442 Год назад

Sweet! Love the concept of having a variety of plants contained in a small footprint. Don't have a garden so might give something like this a go!

@imoffendedthatyouareoffended Год назад

After moving 6 months ago, I had built my whole backyard to be my garden. I built boxes along the fence to plant into and the middle was my plum tree. Wish I got to enjoy my backyard more but oh well. I’ve got 5 fish tanks now and have tons of plants in them to make me feel better haha.

@MrClockw3rk Год назад

This is cool, but practical reminder: none of this matters if the plants don’t survive after a few months. Can we confirm if the original moss wall survived, or if this does after several months? Very interested in knowing that.

@brianmanning9793 Год назад

What a beautiful project and I don’t know about anyone else but I completely de stress watching these videos

@s.gabriel2853 Год назад

Random question to the fish people of the internet: I have an angelfish that seems quite intelligent. He responds to fish food, likes to bump the snails off the aquarium walls and mess around with the plants (ie nip them). Are there any toys I can give him to keep him entertained?

@parmerapps69 Год назад

This project reminds me of a quote by Leonardo Da Vinci: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." You were able to capture a breath of nature in a very small space, made the process easy and cost-effective for beginners to recreate, and exude an air of Japanese artistic elegance in both the production and the build. I guess what I'm trying to say is. . . fantastic job! ✌

@janinebean4276 Год назад

I would love a video on using regular LED lights rather than expensive grow lights!

@JP-nn4qv Год назад

Absolutely ordinary white light will work fine. I am growing a variety of plants that include orchids as well as tropical fruit like chocolate, coffee, fig, and olive exclusively under ordinary white LED lights. I have multiple panels 3.5" x 3.5" that each consume a little over 14W. This is a little bit over 100W equivalent if it were an incandescent light. The color I am using is 4000K which is a "warm white" light but any shade of white light should work fine.

@janinebean4276 Год назад

@@JP-nn4qv thanks! i think I'm going to give it aa try! grow lights are WAY too expensive

@JP-nn4qv Год назад

@@janinebean4276 They are also not all that aesthetically great. The purplish light makes the plants look grey and can be difficult to look at for any length of time.

@terranovarubacha5473 Год назад

I use a full spectrum LED bulb that I got from a hardware store. It wasn't expensive, maybe $5. It works better than basic white but not by a huge margin. I also find that LEDs give me migraines and the full spectrum is somehow easier on me

@debbiethomas3687 Год назад

@@terranovarubacha5473 I use these too, and they work very well in my terrariums. I also have a couple of inexpensive long led growlights that work fine but I got them because they are waterproof and in a couple of locations that was essential. I don't really see any difference between those and the full spectrum leds as far as the growth and flowering of my orchids is concerned, so I will only buy growlights again if I need them in high humidity areas.

@hyperactivehyperbole Год назад

Absolutely gorgeous, and you’re right, the drift wood was a beautiful, elegant addition. Loved it prior, but the driftwood just took it to another level. Simple but impactful. 💚 thank you for your continued excellence and artistic inspiration.

@tracybowling1156 Год назад

I like how you teach us, adding all the details we may need to carry out this kind of project!

how was it?

@joshe3592 Год назад

The big projects are great are great like the ponds are awesome but the little desktop ones are my favourite it feels like you looking down on a small ecosystem planet and its pretty magical

@journey7x Год назад

I like the maintenance tips. I still have the container from the old project. looks like a low upkeep planter for my desk at work!

@MrClockw3rk Год назад

Did the moss survive? Sherpa won’t answer me.

@journey7x Год назад

@@MrClockw3rk I didn't have very good luck with the container. The water evaporated too fast in winter or with air-conditioner running in summer. In the end I gave up.

@dennisfeldmann7399 Год назад

Tanner as always your videos are the best. Thanks for sharing this video.

@null9090 Год назад

I appreciate the specific care tips. A project like this is great for a beginner, and you correctly assumed that a beginner needs more guidance.

@akkoakk4966 Год назад

You put so much care into your designs, you really inspired me to take better care of my animals. Serpa squad for life 💜

@samanthalevang Год назад

Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos! We live on a sailboat and can’t realistically recreate many of your designs in our home, but we watch them all nonetheless. This, however, is one we could do, and I love it!! My partner built a teak framework and 3D printed a water reservoir. So far I’ve filled in the foam slats with cuttings I’ve taken from other plants, and they seem to be thriving. Now that I know how well it works, I’ll invest in some more plants to fill it out. Peace to you and all your animal friends 💖✌🏻

@tuvelat7302 Год назад

@ThePantryPodcast Год назад

LOVE this! So excited to work with this kind of concept in our house sometime soon! Our 4-year-old loves to work with mature and we went on a nature walk today to find mosses and such to build a terrarium like your "terrarium for free" video! This might be our second project!

@willowthewisperer Год назад

You and your embellishments, Tanner. I love how you can't resist driftwood. XD It's gorgeous and seems really low tech and easy to maintain. Kudos!

@maarte_kyel Год назад

very great idea for new style of gardening

@RichardHaywardMelbourne Год назад

@nevaeha4048 Год назад

Great build as always! The wall builds are some of my favorites as I’ve always wanted to make a living wall.

@haruka6844 Год назад

when you placed the plants in the dish so they don't dry out it gave me an idea what if you made a table garden like that one you can have near a computer and it's small

@woodfield9584 Год назад

This is a very attractive and clever build. Your knowledge and creativity seems endless.

@Lijnoftylerwoods Год назад

Such a beautiful peaceful living wall. I love the plant selection and the light is what I would need thinking of placing one on my breakfast wall. Thanks again for this vid, your creativity is a joy to observe!

@LittleBlueOctopus Год назад

I actually might have to try this one. I've been trying to think of something more intricate than a potted plant with a unsightly grow-light. Lighting on this looks more put together. Thank you for the inspiration Tanner!

@DS-dr1zf Год назад

Hey Taner, nice Video ! I'd be happy to see some more animal-focused videos, like the beardie or kingsnake enclosures!

@calistachan6998 Год назад

HEY trailing watermelon begonia! my favourite plant

@CrossCultural-c7f Год назад

This scale is very possible in a windowless office without investing cost in a ton of lighting for an actual wall of said office. And absolutely, it brings some zen to the inside. I do worry that the air conditioning foam will not allow enough oxygen to the roots. I hope that I’m wrong about that.

@WingMom-ek8ft Год назад

Very strange question/request. Would you ever consider doing a living terrarium/wall type set up that contains plants that are safe and possibly even edible by cats? I know you primarily do setups for reptiles and general projects but I would LOVE to create something that enriches my environment and my non-scaled friends lives. Just a thought. Thank you and great video as always!!!

@ZaDussault Год назад

You could grow a grass mat and once well grown, set it up vertically? Grasses need a LOT of water tho

@serefine927 Год назад

Î might recreate this in a much bigger scale ( with plants who like it drier at the top ) since I need to move out to a smaller space and I still need a solution for my tropical plants, this might be it

“Limiting the variegated” I was waiting for that comment. 😎

@Jehty_ Год назад

Hey, looks great. I have a question about the lighting. Is a normal LED light really enough? I always wanted more plants in my apartment, but it is really dark. I assumed that plants needed special grow-lights to survive? Is a normal LED really enough? And how many hours has the light turned on each day? (I assume it's different for every plant, but maybe there is a rule of thumb)

@WibblyWobbly Год назад

led will work, i grow almost everything under it: seedlings, fruiting peppers, ferns, lemons etc. You should choose strong lights: not less that 1500 lumens, preferably more. I got 3000 lumens. For most things 12 hors on, 12 off will do.

@shadlyn3803 Год назад

I have a mix of LEDs and grow light leds. The grow lights definitely seem to do better, and I find that they are important for some of my more finicky plants. I think of light like vitamins in food: You can survive on just one food, but it's better if you have a variety, so I try to use LEDs to supplement plants that get at least some natural light, and grow lights for those that get very little OR that are finicky! Good luck!

@madisonsimpson2411 Год назад

If you’re worried about lighting , I’d recommend Pothos ( there’s several types such as Marble queen, pearls and jade , golden.. ) . Super easy to take care of and need minimal amount of sun. They are often known for being a great bathroom plant. Since, you’re worried about lighting I’d stick to part sun. Also, home depot has cheap grow lights for around $20+. Though, LEDS should do the trick! Happy planting !

@Jehty_ Год назад

Thank you all for the encouragement. I just bought a grow light* and a few plants. Looking forward to see how long they will survive :) One benefit of a (grow) light that I never thought about is that now my room is better lit. Normally I only turn on lights when I need them, so my rooms are most of the time quite dark. So that's nice :) *cheapest one on Amazon, and thanks to a discount cheaper than comparable normal LEDs.
