I Built An Infinite Terrarium 

Probably should have made a pinned comment sooner for the update but I am still new and scuffed so here is the update for the status of all the plants and the ability to get the files: -Do you have files you can sell? EDITED 1/14: Files are now available over on my Etsy Store: idealideacreations.etsy.com , the digital files that I used to make this project can be found there. Take a look at the product description if you want more information on them, -How is the terrarium doing? Overall good, some parts not so good. For the simplest answer, the container has been working well, its mainly my lack of knowledge of what plants would be best in here that is the problem. The thing that had the most problems were the ferns, they died off really quickly so I don't think this was the right environment for them but everything besides those have been growing well. Going into this I was planning on leaving the terrarium untouched for 6months before doing anything to it just to see how it does but a month in there was a mold problem from the dead ferns so I added in springtails and they instantly solved the problem and it hasn't been a problem since. Everything else has been doing fine, the "vine like" plant that I added has been growing still almost to much and it crowds the lower lights so I might have to trim them back if they continue. The moss is just being moss and just vibing. The lighting and atmosphere of the terrarium has been good, with the plants still growing the lighting seems to be working fine and the acrylic fogs up in the early mornings but clears up pretty quickly after. The actual design specifics on the container have all worked well, there are some things that I will change for the Version 2.0 though but nothing critical that is a glaring issue, more just ease of use now that I have had it for a while. -Version 2.0 when? Honestly, it will be a little while but with the second version of this I plan to make it more manageable to recreate so that I can sell them to people who want one and have been asking if they can get one. The new version is in the works but It will be a bit since I want to see how this terrarium continues to grow as I incorporate everything that I have learned from making this initial design into the new and improved one while still balancing everything else I am working on but I am just as excited for the new version as you all are. I will try to keep you all updated as I get closer to finishing it. Thank you all for the continued support! Feel free to continue to ask any questions that I didn't get answered well or didn't cover.

Imagine if you were just some random colony of beetles and all of a sudden you were transported to an infinite dimension beyond your comprehension.

For such a small channel I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of this video. I loved it, and I hope it blows up! You have a great stage presence, and everything was clear and concise so I could follow the steps with understanding, this was awesome!! Great job man!

I thought this had 2,804,000 views, not 2,804. Super underrated channel

It would be a good idea to add some spring tails to your terrarium, they're also called garden lice. They eat fungal spores (preventing mold outbreaks) and decaying plant matter (promoting faster compost cycles). You could use isopods (like pill bugs / rolly polies) but they eat living plants as well and are prone to large die offs.

I think the charcoal is used to keep the water circulation clean and healthy, so it's more for closed terrariums. It would be recommended for your build.

Makes me want to tear up how beautiful this is in the dark.

I've watched youtube for over 10 years now and this is a top10 building videos. your 3d animations really adds a lot of quality to the video and showing your vision before you build it. final product looks great. I can't wait to see what you do next! and hey now you have international fans! Good luck from Turkey!

Id totally buy a mini version from this. I think it's a great idea! Good job.

This actually gives me a vibe and the string tensioning everything together fits that vibe. I imagine this being a scale model of a building like this on Mars or something

I'd love to see future updates on the sustainability of your terrarium! It may seem easy to create a self-sustainable ecosystem, but it ends up being a lot harder than you would think. Great job with the overall design, and I hope it continues to thrive and look as good as it does now!

The production quality of this video was easily on par with channels many magnitudes of subs larger than yours, I really enjoy your content and can't wait to watch your channel grow!

the quality of this video is literally immaculate

8:40 and now I am subscribed. This is the kind of moment that all DIY channels I watch have which makes the content interesting to me

This channel is criminally underrated The content itself, editing, craft visuals, blueprints - everything is just top-tier

This is incredible. The 3d printing and the inhabitants you gathered...etc etc. It's all above and beyond and it all came together really well. Congrats!

I absolutely love everything about this video. The informational part is awesome. Not too informational but not to vague either. Just enough to keep you interested but not too much that it overloads you. I like the humorous parts too they're a nice touch. Awesome stuff. Keep up the great quality, I see your channel becoming a huge thing!

Love the effort put into the making of this video! You deserve way more subscribers with this amount of quality. I was actually planning to make the normal infinity icosahedron (similar to the Anthony James icosahedron) when I came across this video, it really gave me a lot of insight and instructions that I never would have considered. Thanks for making it so detailed and keep it up man!

Production value, originality, prototyping and ingenuity, and the finished build . . . WOW!!! I can't wait to see what's next! So glad the algorithms threw your video on my feed.

57 Subscribers and this man is producing like nobody else! Get this man an oscar or some other thing!

Your video quality is so over the top. This could be a 10 000 000 subscriber channel by this quality. The camera is great, the audio is absolutely gorgeous and the effects and the cutting could not have been better. Keep up like this

That is incredible, I'm very suprised to see such a small channel do this kind of stuff. Great job!

You sir a going places. Fellow maker here and while you can tell you are new to this, I honestly can say that this is an amazing project. Gives me diy perks vibes for the beauty of the final project

Amazing video and the terrarium looks amazing. As other comments have said, really impressed with how professional and detailed the video is considering this channel's small size. I also love the implementation of 3d models on your table for scale. This makes me want to build something like this now lol.

This is so beautifully made, your work will be given it's flowers with due time. Never give up, you are too talented.

This level of quality and dedication but only so many subscribers!!? This was amazing, I'm sure ur gonna see fast growth with such videos! The Terrarium is amazing!

Small channel with such amazing production quality and content. This was amazing to watch man, looking forward to see what happens in the upcoming future

That was so cool! Definitely worth the effort! Awesome video brother, can't wait for the next one!

The terrarium looks absolutely gorgeous...well done!

this is such a nice video!! Really liked everything, the lighting, the process, the combination of nature and engineering. Such a hidden jam in the youtube algorithm

awesome video and build mate if you don't want to do any plant maintanance you can put in some springtails and/or isopods they'll take care of any decaying plant matter and mold

Dude this was an amazing RU-vid video. It’s getting harder for me to do yt with all the low qual content coming out every day but you good sir, you are a bright spot in my algo

9:55 - That is Phedimus; probably Phedimus spurius The "fern" plant you are refering to might be Achillea millefolium (not a fern). I believe you also added a Potentilla hippiana, the silvery plant. I am not too sure because I couldn't find any good shots of it. The moss you are adding is probably Syntrichia ruralis; especially if you are on the west coast, or very up in the North. If you are on the west coast, I would probably say the plant added at 11:35 might be bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). This is such a cool idea! If you decide to build a version 2.0, I'd highly reccomend going to a nursery and buying tropical plants (many will carry small pots of plants specifically for small terrariums). The issue with collecting plants from outdoors, especially if you live somewhere temperate, is that many of the plants aren't suited for living in a almost consistently moist environment with mild temperatures for a long period of time. Hope this helps!

Really cool how much effort you put in and I am also very happy about the result. This channel need to blow up. Great Work ;)

I would buy the STLs, cut lists and hardware list in a heartbeat. This is such a cool project. Massive respect for your work. Very well done. If you offer these for sale as kits or assembled I'd be interested too. Please update us if you decide to sell anything related to this project. Keep up the great work as long as you enjoy it!

i'm a recent mechanical engineering grad, and i wish i had 1% of the creativity and vision you have to take on such a project

The absolutely insane level of editing is so great. The project is great, too. I use a lot of dice for MtG, and many of them are D20, so that makes the design even cooler to my eyes. Probably the same for any D&D fan. Or geometry nerd... Anyway. Damn good video, 10/10

Wow, so impressive. I have honestly never seen anything like it. Keep up the awesome work!

This video was offered to me on the start page and I'm absolutely surprised that your canal is so small. 100% gonna give you a sub, you really deserved it.👏

wow this is the first video ive seen from you and your work is amazing. your very underrated and i hope to see you go places with this.

I would be cool to discover something like this, flying about in the depths of space. Like a mini planet.

New favorite channel! Keep up the good, no - amazing work, can't wait to watch the channel grow (:

Great job on this video man, I’m loving the effort you took in editing!

Hey, I almost never comment youtube videos. But the project is amazing, the way you described every step with its issues and solutions was cool and educational for some one with 0 practical sense like myself. You should feel extremely proud of the results! Keep going!

If you get your plants from the forest, try to dig out the roots, not just plucking them. Or harvest their seeds when they're done flowering and sow them directly! 9:52 that plant with the silvery/white leaves belongs to the Rosaceae family, genus is Argentina and the species might be anserina but i'm not entirely sure about the last one, lots of species similarity. Argentina anserina would be my guess. Likes to grow between pavement in my country and almost impossible to kill (will die but will grow next year again) if the roots stay alive, flowers are yellow and nice. 9:54 Thats a Hylotelephium, the species is almost impossible to tell if not flowering, and without roots, so most likely wouldn't survive. Gets quite tall, big flowers.

Wow! I feel like I wanna live inside that terrarium lol. It looks awesome

I love the energy and I'm very glad your channel came across my recommended page, love the humor and we need more of it! subscribing for sure!

Amazing work man, while I was watching the video i got a glimpse at the number of subscriptions...1.5k only. I was amazed, you deserve 1.5mil easy. Keep up the work, respect!

This is totally awesome! I’ve long dreamed of making a terrarium that has built in lighting. The production on this was insane. Subbed for sure.

Great video! Can’t believe it doesn’t have more views!

Wow 😳😳😳 I really loved the shape! And the lights and everything ~! It turned out amazing 😍

I admire your effort and dedication put into this video, it’s outstanding.

how tf are you not more known ??? what you do is incredible !

Good job on this! Yeah you don't necessarily need charcoal. I mix mine in with my soil to prevent mold growth but animals live in mine so I think for plants only I wouldn't worry about it. You could also but springtails in there and just buy a little bit of leaf litter, throw it in every now and then and they will do the job of the charcoal for you.

if u keep up videos like this and progress with editing as well as filming i could 100% see u blowing up. Good job on the Terrarium, super cool!

The idea is fantastic and the video editing is phenomenal. I can't wait to watch more.

Would you be willing to share the files for the 3d printed parts? Because I'd love to make one of these but don't have the tech savvy to work that part out myself!

Way too underrated. Was shocked to see this wasn't a channel with millions of subscribers. This is crazy

you designs are so cooooolll thanks for making this high quality vid!!

Super cool project. Digging the inventiveness and the taking-it-as-it-comes approach.

Ahh.. the golden feeling of accomplishment when a hard project is done... That's the reason i do DIY stuff LOVE IT!

I've seen you talking about being a "small channel" and that you are "growing slowly" in the comments, but if you keep up videos of this quality, I believe the channel will grow SUPER fast. Keep up the hard work, and know that it is paying off!!!

Best Terrarium vid I've seen since I became obsessed with them last week. Subscribed.

Earned a subscribe from me. Not only extremely informative, your terrarium building skills are incredible as well!

Insane build. I would totally buy such a terrarium I am mindblown very well done!!

Such a great Terrarium. I have never made on of these before in its normal form let a lone one of these shapes I can't even name. Infinity cube I think. Its so mesmerizing. And such a lot of work.

OMGA (oh my giddy aunt) I love it, personally as an aquarium keeper with loads of plants i'd plants it full of various Anubias and/or Bucephalandra ... basically some aquatic plants will grow in soil as well as long as there is high humidity.... You have done an incredible terrarium and I'm turning green with jealousy

This is incredible, really cool editing aswell. I have no idea why you don't have more subscribers.

I really admire how you didn't choose the easy one and successfully made it👍🏻

Holy Crow. When the reveal happened it felt like one of those childhood magic and wonderment moments that i've been missing came flooding back Thank you so much and may your luck forever be kind, sir.

Damn you're criminally underrated, also love the commentary. Respect for going with option 2 and nice build and video!

This makes me think of how cool an infinity mirror version would look. It would be like a window into an endless forest.

I’m so glad you went with option 2

Looks like you put alot of work into this, Simply amazing!

I love that you are happy with your creation. Its beautiful ......keep doing what you love dear

This is so cool! Besides the project itself, the video is so good! Keep it up please:).

Great video! I first thought you'd be a hundred thousand subscribers channel, until I looked down a bit. Really good quality, hope your growth speeds up!

Underrated youtuber right here really enjoyed watching this and watching you struggle 😁😁 great sense of humor too

Dude, fantastic video. I literally enjoyed the process. U got a sub

Awesome project, great build and love the editing of the video! definitely earned my Sub!!

im more amazed how this video has not exploded in popularity yet

Great video man. Surprised you only have a few hundred subs with such great quality when it comes to your videos! Subbed!

Very interesting video (especially considering I usually watch terrarium makers, fascinating to see someone come from a completely different angle). I LOVE the idea to combine an infinity shape with a terrarium (and will definitely try my hand at it if I ever have the space/acess to the tools). Your production quality is amazing for so few subscribers (now one more lol). Also btw: No matter if you take the surface mushroom parts, if you take soil with mycel (the main, in-soil part of it, usually invisible to the naked eye) some will pop up - which is harmless as long as you dont eat them and actually shows good soil health.

dude! i thought youd have somewhere around 700k subs! only 8k?? you deserve so much more! this is incredible, the igenuity, the thought process. its all there. definitely a well deserved sub earned

For a channel this small and the video quality, damn it's awesome. You certainly deserve a sub

Awesome! I just happen found the vid clicked and wow! really cool idea and design! love it👍👍

Excellent editing on this video. Definitely earned a subscribe and like button. Please please make more videos!

Crazy to think given the right conditions one of these terrariums could outlast humanity.

hello i just saw this vid and i love watching people build something out of almost anything and i hope you do make more on this you deserve more subs

such a great work u put into that video. it is really cool to watch! amazing!

hope your channel grows bigger! love your vibes!

Super cool, you just gave me an idea, I would like this to be my computer case in the future. 💪

not even 1 mill subs wtf the quality of video and amazing personality makes me think this is a major channel i had somehow missed

Subscription added, this was insanely fun to watch!

Cute! I wanna make things like this and like see them put it together in the factory to making pretty things 🛍✨

This was a great build and I enjoyed the editing. Keep it up!

This is so f'ing cool - loved the engineering, designing and editing.. great content!

I've enjoyed a lot watching this ! Very cool project Thank you!

Nice I love the fact that you used all this tic. I am going to learn how to make this soon

That looks amazing!
