I Made a BREATHTAKING Nano Cube Terrarium, Here’s How!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I’ll be showing you how I made this nano cube terrarium. I do my best to break down each step of the terrarium build so you can replicate a miniature slice of nature like this in your home. The hardscape for this terrarium was inspired by tree roots slowly creeping over rocks and I’m very happy with the outcome. The nano tank measures 20cm x 20cm (7.8” x 7.8”).

Hi I love your videos, Im very intrested in doing this build you are doing. I have no experiance in doing this so I would appreciate a few tips or recomendations. I do have a little experiance in gardeing if that helps😂 Some of my questions include, do you have to change out the water from time to time? How long will this build last? Do you have to keep the LED light on at night? Do the plants eventually overgrow and should I cut them when if if they do? Will the spring tails mainly keep the terrarium under control so I dont have to clean out the water? Ifs theres any other recomendations anyone would like to give me I would greatly appciate it😊
Hi. Is the soil mix that you use suitable for tropical closed terrariums?
im curious, how do you get freshly clipped plants to grow immediately in dirt? ive always had trouble even getting them to start in water and i have no idea how you do it
Congratulations on the job, my friend! It's great! I have a couple of questions: How many hours a day do you have the light on? And how often do you have to moisten the terrarium? Thanks in advance. All the best

Is it better to keep a glass lid on top of the tank or off? Not sure if the uv light would be affected by the glass on top.
no i fajnie :)
For all those who wonder why the hemiantus cuba(HCC) has not grown: it needs a lot of light. That is why the HCC has grown well further above while further down everything has died.
How does he develop the mist in the terrarium that comes out after he opens it to show the finished design?
Very nice and peaceful video🎉; but I think having your voice less loud would be better for the peaceful nature of these kind of videos. I don't know if that's possible without changing the video to an ASMR one which is not what I'm looking for.
Can you make a 20cm cube terrarium for bucephalandra?please... 😂❤
Hc cuba is a tad needy. Likes high light. Prob why that clump is doing better higher in the terrarium.

I think the HCCuba died because it received to less light down there at the bottom. I recommend getting some Micranthemum Micranthemoides Monte Carlo it's way easier to keep. However I love the build.

dont listen to these tertium or fish tank guys. set up a tank for 20 mins and usually throw the fish away after. you never do see the same fish twice do you? dont listen to these guys dont put superglue on anything and remeber they have no idea how to keep a tank alive just make it look good for a video.
That tree fern stuff is unfortunately expensive
didn't really take my breath to be honest
