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😊
