This is the Fourth episode of, "How to Terrarium." In this episode, you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make an effective and natural-looking Cactus Terrarium. Cacti aren't typically plants that would be housed in a terrarium. Therefore, if there were a cactus terrarium, this is it!
As mentioned in the video, although you may see cactus terrariums online that look cool, they might not be tailored to the cactus plant (as they should be). In this series we are trying to make effective terrariums that not only look good, but are well-suited to the plants and animals they house.
Difficultly Level: Beginner/Intermediate
Cactus terrariums are pretty easy to care for and maintain as cacti are low maintenance plants for the most part. The difficultly with this terrarium is finding the proper container. Remember to put this terrarium in a bright and warm location.

You just grabbed them... I get spines in my hands just by looking at mine....

@toro_caspi4191 3 года назад

Yea, I really hate those little invisible spines that stay in your hands and cause so much pain.

@the404error7 3 года назад

@@toro_caspi4191 it's like a splinter

@southpark.obsessed3384 3 года назад

I can do that with all my cactus except one little bitxx a sliver ball cactus the hook at the skin and it’s a pain in the axx

@TheAughoti 7 лет назад

I love the video. As a gardener I have one suggestion. Plants always look better when planted in odd numbers. 1, 3 or 5 plants would have looked better.

@SerpaDesign 7 лет назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I will keep it in mind next time around.

@rubenskiii 7 лет назад

Great tip! I've heard it before, the human brain sees things without a pattern as more "raw" and nature like while even numbers and patterns are seen as logical, structured and more human. Also, in nature almost nothing has straight lines or really sharp 90degree-like corners. we see straight lines as "unnatural". That's why tankers put brushes on their tanks, not to just turn it into a giant roaring bush, but mainly to break up the sharp lines which will get noticed by an human eye if not covered up... :)

@bongbreaker7404 7 лет назад

Then You Would Also Need An Odd Number Of Terrariums Or You Would Have An Even Number Of Plants... So This Terrarium With The Four Cacti Would Look Good Next To One Other Terrarium With Three Cacti. For A Total Of 7 Cacti.... Hmmmmm... Its Like My Neighbor Planted Five Trees At Our Property Line... It Messes Up Everything... Makes It Too Complicated, I Think You Should Just Do What You Want.... That Being Said... Ha Ha... We Did Learn The Odd Number Rule In Every Art Class I Took.

I am so in love with my new discovery. Previously had no real interest in growing. Bought an aloe plant from my neighbor after his wife passed bcuz he wasn't taking care of it. I researched how to care for it, got the cactus mix soil & now it's so gorgeous and healthy and tall. She's had 4 babies alreardy. I call them babies & I love em😊. Anyway, now that I've discovered terrariums, I'm hooked. I will be doing this. It's so dope.

@Airenu 2 года назад

5 years have passed already. This was one of the first videos I've watched. I'm curious, do you still have this terrarium? Would love to see an update.

@harperjohnston8911 7 лет назад

Hey, I'd definitely recommend using a brush (a toothbrush or a makeup brush, something with soft bristles) to get soil off of plants, that way you won't be blowing outside soil everywhere.

@waffle8364 Год назад

The ones he picks are actually not that pokey. Some poke more but they feel more fuzzy, of course you don't want to tighten your grip on them but they really are quite tame versus wild caci

@michellechapman8738 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing!!😂😂😂

@AcePilotZach 6 месяцев назад

If you're gentle yet just the right amount of firm, you can easily handle most cacti without a prick.

@SpyWilliam123 7 лет назад

Could you start making small aquariums kinda how you make your terrariums? Maybe with water springtails, freshwater snails, and aquatic plants?

@mysteryfan15 5 лет назад

I appreciate that you value the plant needs over aesthetics. I have seen some beautiful plantings that I know are never going to last due to the conditions they are in. Great videos and great series!

@TheSeptemberRose 5 лет назад

I lived in Arizona for a year and I fell in LOVE with the desert environment! Getting glochids in my fingers hurts though, that's why I don't grow them.

@poopycaitlin 5 лет назад

I could seriously listen to your voice all day. Screen idea is excellent for maintaining layers. With these glass terrariums, you can keep an eye on moisture in the bottom and mist like you are with a spray bottle lightly 2 days in a row rather than water so much it goes to the bottom. Wonderful video!

@Coopercaroline2000 4 года назад

I just looooove your videos!!! I never thought I’d be watching (or should I say binge watching !) terrarium videos!!! But here I am!!!! I’m sooooooooo inspired to make them once I’m done renovating my home!!! Thank you for such great content!!! 😊👍🙏❤️😉

@8a8yBleu 4 года назад

Amazing arrangement!!! My favorite thus far. Going to search for a clear bowl now! Been thinking of consolidating my cacti’s into one pot! This was a great demonstration thanks for sharing!!

@jomanjames3618 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made an amazing cactus terrarium today and these tips were really helpfully and gave me a look to work around other mine. Really good video, but I found a thin soft paintbrush I had never used was a bit more efficient and less messy at cleaning the cacti, but that could just be my clumsiness. great video!

@suekleinman6737 3 года назад

Outstanding, I never had much luck with cacti but I'm going to give this a try.

@boniboni4912 5 лет назад

Thanks I always see tiny cacti super cheap and I have an empty glass container similar to this one so know I’m gonna try this!!! So cute!

@passero9858 3 года назад

The best cactus terrarium in RU-vid I think. I love your creations.

@analuisa1214 6 лет назад

Look at these beautiful cactus! I have only one tiny cactus, I am trying to make it grow (it stoped, I guess the recipient was small), so I moved it into a bigger recipient a few days ago, in a few days (I guess) I am going to see some results!

@dtmctech 7 лет назад

Great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge. I haven't read all the comments but just in case it wasn't mentioned, a can of compressed air would work well for cleaning also.

@laurencoogs 5 лет назад

@annananna1331 7 лет назад

I'm suffering just looking at you touching all of those cacti. I have plenty of those and I can literally feel the pain as it was mine! Expecially the dotted ones...

@SerpaDesign 7 лет назад

Anna Turroni Lol! It didn't hurt that bad, I have pretty tough skin thankfully.

@funnytime1111 5 лет назад

Seriously, the options are the nastiest and the hardest to remove because they’re so small!!

@breadguy7962 5 лет назад

Anna Nanna the minuscule spines are called glochids.

@wxlurker 5 лет назад

Allison Sedar Agreed! I had them stuck in my hand once and I couldn’t get them out due to how small they were. i learnt better and invested in nitrite gloves soon after.

@eliclarke24 3 года назад

I think this would probably be a really nice way to grow cacti in climate where you can't really grow cactus, and regulate the microclimate better than you could otherwise. Like the reverse of a greenhouse in the desert. I love this!!!

@juangomez-moreno4068 6 лет назад

@jage5256 4 года назад

I did one exactly like this only with smaller cactus with three and a few cactus that look like balls. They grow together and actually moved closer to each other. I also used charcoal with the false bottom. I've made another one in a square dish with three cactus. The like the little lamps I turn on 8-10 hours daily. I need to make more. So relaxing🤗 subscribed

@lolasnyder4567 6 лет назад

As an avid designer I have a couple of suggestions that I’ve learned planning rooms and such that could definitely be helpful for your terrariums as well. My mom always talks about how things generally look better in groups of 3 or 5. From what I gather this is because 2 and 4 often look to organized/ planned out. As well as doing this, it will also make them look less crowded. The appeal aesthetically of cacti is how simple they are. By over crowding your terrariums, you can lose some of this.

@lunaradic5075 7 лет назад

I love your videos So glad i found you channel

@MalibuPlantGirl 4 года назад

@SerpaDesign I love your videos! I haven't been able to make terrariums as I would need to buy shelving plus the supplies but I have plants and have my own indoor plant area and outdoor garden. I wanted to suggest paint brushes instead of the straw which worked but, seemed kinda messy haha. Thank you for the wonderfully relaxing and informative videos! You're doing a great job!

@mariawarda4385 5 лет назад

Love it, thanks for sharing😊

@victoriaclose7212 5 лет назад

great vid!! I have a suggestion for cacti/succulent terrariums. I actually keep the plants in the plastic container (or a slightly larger one) and then just put gravel-type material below and all around it. Thank way any water that comes out the bottom of the plastic pots goes into the gravel and evaporates more easily instead of just staying stuck in a false bottom the way it can with a if theres a thick layer entirely of soil. and of course I put the topdressing high enough to cover the tops of the plastic pots!

@ivyisgreeen Год назад

The point of a false bottom is to evaporate it slowly so that there is less maintenance, also that can lead to root rot
