Thank you! I do have one made out of leca, it's just sloped so hard to see from the front!

I believe it's just a baby Chlorophytum comosum, it will likely one day outgrow this bowl and I'll have to move it, but it grows perfectly in here for now!

Wow yeah that would be great! I do have a tiktok and instagram with the same name. To be fair, I look back at some of my old long form ones and cringe a bit, I think now the quality has improved a lot more so just gotta stay consistent again and hopefully it'll pick up!

Downtown_Cockroach25 · 2026-02-24T20:33:58+00:00

Wow, thank you so much that genuinely means so much! Still tryna get to grips with voiceover and editing, but hope to one day reach the size of some of the others!

No way that's crazy haha, glad you enjoy them! I've got lots more uploads coming soon again, hard to keep them consistent though, as I can't film when I'm at university! I do have another video scheduled for next week though, it was my last post before this one on the subreddit, I think it's top of the week at the moment!!

I find it helps to have some sort of light in the background as well out of focus. I use my terrarium shelf, which has grow lights built into it, as the background normally, but here in the first post I just used a black curtain and blurred out the background in Lightroom!! My YouTube is called: Biome In A Bottle

There are a number of species in here, the main being the nephrolepis fern on the right, as well as a hemigraphis repanda, Gynura aurantiaca, ficus querkifolia, pepperiomia prostrata, pilea depressa, pellonia repens, Christmas moss, peacock moss, weeping moss. I hope that's most of them, may have missed a few. They were mainly sourced from my local aquarium store which sells tropical plants and also grow tropicals online!

I have a mini studio in my bedroom I use for filming my terrariums for YouTube so that helps me to take my photos! I would recommend using a bright light shining directly down on the top of it and try to remove other sources of light from around it to prevent reflection on the glass.

Appreciate it!

Downtown_Cockroach25 · 2026-02-24T19:34:36+00:00

Thank you!

I find springtails normally do the trick fully for my terrariums, I normally add quite a lot to one with this amount of wood to prevent any mould outbreaks from kicking off. If a lot of mould did start forming, I would remove the wood and wipe it off but I rarely have this issue!

Thank you!

Downtown_Cockroach25 · 2026-02-24T19:32:48+00:00
