Starting a Terrarium | Terrarium Mock Up
Channel: Tropical Plant Party
Date: 2020-01-17

This is the first video for a small series I'll be doing this winter, terrarium Tuesdays! Ok, this one came out on a Friday, but the rest will be on Tuesdays. Here is an intro to starting a terrarium where I talk about mostly about the substrate for bio-active terrariums. I cover the history of terrariums, the use, and very basic terrarium set up. I also talked broadly about the concepts behind pumice and activated charcoal use in terrariums. There are a ton of ways to build a terrarium, the two ways I cover in this video are the most common and basic. I'm experimenting with a different layer arrangement but the main concept is to make sure the soil/substrate layer is never in contact with the water on the bottom. Pumice, charcoal, gravel, lyca etc can be used to lay on the bottom for this separation. I personally feel that the use of activated charcoal or horticultural charcoal is not always necessary. Using charcoal can help in this initial start up with keeping things clean and potentially reduces risk of molds and pathogens from forming due to unsanitary conditions. In each video of the series I will dive deeper into the concepts involved as I plant up terrariums. I have tons of terrariums plants and tons of tropical plants in my plant collection ready to get planted up!
