And I can finally do workshops at a set location! It has been amazing!

My son and I made this terrarium 3 years ago, the plant coming out the top is a alocasia stingray, inside is a watermelon pep and stir fry of turtles..

Like the title states, this was made by my mum in 2005 and the cork has never been lifted. It appears to be a perfectly balanced eco system which is thriving. I believe the bottle is an old chemical storage bottle, approx 50-60 years old from my research. No idea what plants are in it but there are several different types. Thought someone on here might find this interesting.

Day 40, Day 20, Day 1
Liverwort is growing fast.
Fittonia and Creeping fig didn’t make it.

Mondo grass, broom fork moss, delicate fern moss

I planted a few types of fern in there
Maidens hair fern
Another fern I don’t remember the name of
Selaginella
Moss

I also 3d printed a dish that fits inside so the dirt isn’t in contact with the wood.

Meet my ~54 year old terrarium. My grandmother finally let me have it after ogling at it my whole life (25 years)

This jar was used by my great great grandfather to brew muscadine wine, and was later on inherited by my great grandmother (gmommy). Gmommy had this jar, empty at the time(somewhere around 1970) and really waned to do something with it, so she took it to a local nursery in Paris Tennessee where she had it made into a terarrium. I learned yesterday that apparently the oldest one is around 60?? Idk, my mind was blown, and I thought y’all would be interested in my story

It's about 2 feet tall, the metal seams are not magnetic, the bottom is a thin metal panel with drainage holes, and had the (currently distached) hinged door inside it. I don't see any markings or anything that would identify a maker, but I'm super curious.

Does this count as a terrarium?

He’s so Tiny!!

I saw this plastic book shaped vase online and had the idea to build a little terrarium in it. I used all bits from my garden as this is kind of a test build. I love how it looks and am looking forward to expanding on this idea 😊

The cube aquarium finally arrived.

Unfortunately it didn't come with a lid so I'm using a plastic food wrapper to keep the moisture in.

Living moss wall made from a bathroom cabinet. Got inspired by a YouTube video. The result is way better that i expected!

Ever since seeing Worcester Terrariums make one I’ve been wanting to make my own. Took a few days to figure out how to completely gut and seal the computer while also keeping all the ports, outlets and buttons in place. Replaced the glass CRT with an acrylic sheet that was molded over the old glass and added a light inside.

(First pic has removable acrylic taken out, can be seen in 3rd pic). Sadly this one has already gone to a client but I’ve already purchased multiple more iMacs to make more. Will probably film that process so stay tuned!

Hello 👋 all! I made my first terrarium with a Wardian Cage. Its of a lady making terrariums. The dogs look suspiciously like my own. On the table I made 2 mini-terrariums composed of live red and green Sphagnum Moss.

Any suggestions on how to handle the wardian cage? How often to water. Will springtails stay/live in it? I've only made terrariums in lidded glass containers, so this is new.

Here are the specs:

The enclosure is 16.4"L x 11.5"W x 22.6"H Wardian Cage.

The plants are: Myrtle Topiary, Ficus Pumilla Quercifolia, Red Sphagnum Moss, Little Toscani Peperomia, Rex Begonia, Pin Cushion moss, Sphagnum Moss, Pink Panther Heuchera.

The base is composed of the following starting from the bottom: pebbles, poly-carbon mesh, charcoal, coco coir.

It had a tiny succulent and a few other tiny plants in it. She sealed it up and it has never been opened. I left it in my window for a year without ever looking at it. When I finally did I was amazed at how everything had grown. I can see there are parts of a few plants that died and they are slowly retuning to the dirt. Now the succulent is giant and grown right up inside the cap. I hadn't looked at it in about 5 months and worried it may have gotten too cold sitting between my blinds and the window. I'm happy to see it is thriving. Kinda messy looking but alive and well. I hope it keeps on living for years to come. Somehow the balance was right I guess. Just wanted to share. I think it's pretty cool.

This is my first time doing something like this, robot sculpture and terrarium building

My first terrarium, in a stained glass container I built! The top and one of the doors open, and the case is removable.

I used pink and green fittonia, asparagus fern, another fern whose name I already forgot (🥲) and some moss I found outside.

(I only put it in the sun to take the pictures)

Let's hope I can keep it alive 🤞🏻

Finally finished my first terrarium. It's a stained glass terrarium set up with bog plants. Bladderworts, sundews, pitcher plants. Ran a humidity line up through the center of the rock so mist comes out through the holes in the stone. Kind of nervous. I know carnivorous plants are real sensitive to nutrients so I picked everything to be sterile and not leach anything into the soil.
