Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior . God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️❤❤😊

I love watching your videos, very informative as well as your ebook. I just built my first terrarium following your guides. My question is why does it stay fogged up all the time? Does that go away? Should i leave it alone? Should i open it and clean the glass? I only squirted a mist bottle with fine mist 5 squirts, the media isnt very wet.

@TerrariumDesigns Жыл бұрын

Glad you’re finding it helpful! Constantly fogged up glass can be a sigh of overpowering, but I’ve found that some glassware is just prone to being fogged up even if the terrarium is not overwatered which might be your case. Try cleaning the inside glass to see it that helps😃

Do you sell premixed terrarium substrate? If not, maybe you could start selling various sized packages of it? I love that you include the recipe for it so we can make it at home, and I would like to try my hand at making a terrarium, but I’m wondering if we can buy it premixed so we don’t have a lot of leftover stuff if we’re just trying out a first terrarium. I hope that makes sense and maybe something for you to try: selling 1lb., 2lb., 5lb., etc. bags of your premade terrarium substrate for the beginner who is just starting out. Just a thought 🙂

Heads up: some states, countries and most definitely UK (under the wildlife and countryside act 1981) it is illegal to take plants (with the exclusion of invasive species, check the legals and species in the area) from parks and woodlands. It is best to take plants from your own property or with the property owner's permission :)

@Nick_Creates Жыл бұрын

What insect should you put in it if you don’t have springtails? Are isopods a good idea?

Yes, isopods fulfil the same function as springtails. If you go into the woods or a park you can get a few springtails for free.

i tried making a terrarium, but it sucks, i dont have any of these materials because im broke and im completely new to this so i kinda winged it, and i dont have any fancy tools to put the plants in so it looks super ugly and all of the jar space is taken up by the stupid drainage layer because i dont have leka, window mesh, abs, or plants, i got everything from my backyard and i cant find a place that sells good jars and most websites don’t ship to Canada. I just wanted a new hobby and im very dissapointed because it turns out i suck at everything.
