Beautiful! I'd love to see how it goes over time. I made my first vivarium last summer, and a few days ago I saw a picture of how it was then and I hadn't realized how much the plants had grown (except the ones I killed on the way :( ).
Wow that looks amazing , are u going to put anything live in there ? Like a lizzard, dart frogs, or any geckos , they wud have a great beautiful home !!❤
I just built a terrarium! Have any of your plants struggled? I'm having trouble regulating the moisture with the top of the tank drying out faster than the bottom of the tank because of the light. Are you having similar issues?
absolutely huge fan of the works and thanks for sharing detailed steps! Was wondering what if the water/weather seal are not applied on both sides of the cabinet/gap, would these gap be ok to served as vent and maybe I won’t need to drill holes at the top for air exchanging?
I would recommend sealing the sides if you are going to have substrate on the floor of the cabinet, but the top vents are not necessary. hope this helps!
I poured a generous amount of a mixture of peat moss and sphagnum moss (make sure they're dry) over the spray on foam while it is still wet, there will be a lot of moss that falls off after the foam is cured ~ hope this helps!
Impressive ❤ I'm surprised the ikea cabinet is solid enough to take those layers. I got one of the smaller ones for my books and decided not to put too many of them, I'm scared it might not take the weight. But is a good place to put my origami, unframed watercolors and my brushes to protect them from dust.
Ohh it looks so fantastic, Maggie! I've been wanting to do one myself after watching some other clips before, but currently can't -- did you get inspired by Benji?
How many cans of foam did you use and what brand I’m finally getting ready to make mine but the foam is the one factor I don’t know how much to get without overspending 😭
I struggled with this problem too! I originally bought 2 cans and kind of messed up during the build process while learning how to use the spray foam, so I ended up buying 2 more cans. I think maybe 3-4 cans is a good place to start.
