Thank you! I overwatered my firsts terrarium, and the result was a total messy... At last your video teaches me to not fear, as the plants are able to let us see if they need water

Hey @Terrarium Designs how often should I water my terrarium if I use a metal lid from a jam jar?

@RadvinM-old Жыл бұрын

I have some moss that is yellow but mostly green does that mean I need to water it less and will the yellow color go away?

I have always water the next day on the Glas. I can wipe it up like you sayed but I saw some of your glass es in the background have also huge amounts of water at the Walls. So my question is: when is it ok to have this water on the inside Walls?

I created my first one about 1.5 weeks ago and it is doing great, I have an extra plant that I did not plant sprout out of my moss and my pink polka is standing proud and created new leaves in the middle. The last couple days it has condensed and stayed that way after a week of condensing and not a few times a day. Any ideas what would cause this?

@TerrariumDesigns Жыл бұрын

Great to hear! New terrarium tend to take a few weeks before settling in, and constant condensation should clear up. It can however be a sign of overwatering

Hi! I’m completely new to terrariums and I wanted to see if anyone could help with a question. I may or may not have used tap water before doing in depth research only a couple of sprays will it be okay as long as I continue with distilled water? And should I clean the inside condensation since it was tap? (Cork lid terrarium)

@Punki80 9 ай бұрын

Is it possible to use tap water that has been sitting in an open vessel for 24 hours? From my aquarium experience I seem to remember that the chlorine evaporates within that time.

Should i throw it all away once it’s overwatered/rotten/dried out or can i keep the soil and dry it and use it for another terrarium?

@alberto2alvarez14 5 ай бұрын

It looks like you have vivariums in the back how do you water and keep the humidity up do you have animals in there I'm trying to figure out how to keep the right temperature and humidity for a dart frog but my plants keep dying any tips?

@risu4334 4 ай бұрын

What about the wood inside? It rots and molds from moisture, how to avoid it?

@dubeeisbsishawijsbcisnnaiw4433 8 ай бұрын

Does condensation only appear in overwatered terrariums? In my case, my terrarium is rather large.

If I use dehydrated moss will it give the same result?

@TerrariumDesigns Жыл бұрын

If you rehydrate them moss beforehand it should be fine:)

Thanks for sharing, I've been learning a lot from you! I want to try to replicate your 5g terrarium, how often do you water those 5g terrariums?

@TerrariumDesigns Жыл бұрын

No problem! I keep the lid open about 0.5cm for airflow, this means watering is more frequent due to evaporation. I give them a light spray every 3-5 days. Glad you’re finding the videos useful & thanks for watching:)

@@TerrariumDesigns Cool thanks!

What about when your moss feels dry, but looks healthy, and the substrate is definitely damp? Is this an issue with the condensation cycle due to something ive maybe done wrong?

@solarsounds1854 Жыл бұрын

Let me note* the daily condensation seems to rise and fall nicely only once or twice a day. It doesn't seem dry, it just seems like my moss is struggling to stay moist although the soil below it is definitely not too dry.

No, many cities now use chloramine which only evaporates at a similar rate as water. You cannot recommend the "let it sit overnight" tip anymore, which only worked when chlorine gas was used, because that evaporates from water quickly. It must be dechlorinated.
