The spider wood makes the scale appear smaller, whereas without it, the rocks look more grand in size than they actually are. Either way looks lovely.

I really love this terrarium. Since you asked for our opinion, I prefer how it looked without the Spider Wood. I keep watching your videos and I hope to learn enough to make a small or maybe tiny terrarium myself soon.
I just found you last night. I love your video's and can't wait to try and make one of my own
GREAT VIDEO!
Brilliant! Love your channel!
Prefer without the spiderwood, but this video was exactly what i needed as was debating adding pool or trying to insert pump for fall for next terrarium. ❤

Hi! I prefer the more minimalistic look without spiderwood, but I have two questions if you don't mind. Do you had to refill the pond in 5 weeks? And then, for how many hours do the led light run? Thank you, really nice scape!
I loved the addition of the Spiderwood
Love the spider wood. How awesome is it that you make nature into living art. Love your videos. I bought the book, can't wait to make my first desk terrarium! Thank you!

Marvelous, will start doing my own terrariums ASAP haha, btw how is this one going? Any news?
I liked the scape without spider wood as the large rocks and flat ground made the scape look bigger than it is, I think the spider wood would've worked better if they were thinner/smaller, complementing the large rocks. Either way it's a beautiful scape! :)
Could you do a nother paludarium next please. Love those videos.

I have been intrigued with terrariums since I first learned about them in the fourth grade. I have thought I’d like to have one, but didn’t really know how to build one. I like your videos with your clear instructions. I especially like this larger one that you made in this video. But I have a question. Would a small turtle or even a frog live in this kind of environment? I think I would like something in mine besides just bugs. Thank you.
Thank you for this great video! Can the mix substitute peat moss for the coco coir?
So beautiful❣ Will a terrarium like this one, in a jar with a sealed lid, will it be necessary to air it out once in a while or will it be self maintained and remain closed all the time?
Thank you I like your video can you grow mushroom instead the terrarium
What do you think, with the spiderwood, or without?🤔

The water evaporation will produce oxygen CO2 and rain
What does this terrarium require in regards to sun exposure?
Do you have to water it?
i only wish I could find access to these plants to attempt my own somewhere in my area =/
I’m thinking about getting into making terrariums. I just have one question. Where do you get your plants from?

Gorgeous, but won't the water in the pond go stagnant? Or do the plants keep that from happening?
@Provaloni_forlife

It can rain in the terrarium if the water from the pond will evaporate for rain
springtails last for terrarium life ? or do you need to add more from time to time

It's called mating and breeding
I have build a sealed terrarium with a pond, but it looks like all of the water from the pond consistently keeps evaporating. Any advice?
Can you give us the list of the plants you used in this terrarium?
Do you need to open the lid from time to time to provide oxygen for the springtails?

Springtails don't need oxygen plus if you open it time to time they would escape

I have a question. I have a bonsai that I'm bored with and shows no great qualities. Is it possible to get a removable air tight glass jar around the trunk so I can have a terrarium with a live trunk in the middle?

I recently tried to create a pond in an ecosphere, but it didn't work for some MIRACULOUS reason. The water always somehow ESCAPED from the small plastic container, that I used as a pond, and I have NO FRIKKEN IDEA, why that happened. 1. The container didn't have any holes. 2. The water did not evaporate, because the time was too short. 3. The water did not run out of the container, because the container wasn't angled that much. 4. I even took care, that there wasn't any moss hanging into the pond wicking the water out of it. This really drove me nuts.

The spray water will evaporate and turn into oxygen
I prefer it without spider wood
Personal opinion I like it better with out the wood.
I am surprised his arm didn’t get stuck in the jar
In theory this could run forever since it’s self sustaining after everything on earth is wiped out and this jar breaks and they can fix the earth?
You stated, “I wont need to do any maintenance for a good while”. Could you expand on that comment a bit more? Even if it’s self-sustaining, is there a level of required attention it still needs from time to time? Thanks for the awesome vid.

Why not add silicone to a wooden cup? Stop it with the plastic, and forming micro plastics by sandpapering salsa cups, when you could easy use bamboo or wood. Or make your own with found bark and silicone.
