experimental terrarium
    #7476828 - 10/02/07 09:52 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Maybe this has already been tried, but yesterday i grabbed two 5 gallon Ozarka bottles for drinking water dispensers out of my neighbors trash can. The main problem in Texas is getting the seedlings healthy enough to not dry out in the heat. Lately, I've been taking Gallon jugs, filling part way with dirt and putting a plastic bag with soaked cloth for humidity. Sometimes i take a container just larger then the pot I'm using and fill it up with water and place the pot inside. The idea is to hold moisture and possible create like a green house/ tropical-like environment.. at least till the plant is big enough to be trans-plated and withstand the harsh Texas weather. So anyway, My idea is to cut a door large enough to stick a pot into and close off again. Probably put perlite in the to build humidity and put out of direct sunlight. The hole at the top would be left unsealed so that there would be some air exchange. I think this would make a great terrarium, cheap and easy. Probably give it a try as soon as i can figure out how to saw a door into this thing. What do you guys think?

I've also had great results with that method. I used things like milk containers and juice bottles. I cut them in half, filled the botttom with soil and planted my seeds, the fit the top back on. I would leave the caps on and cut holes in them for ventilation. with the milk jugs, the top half goes inside the bottom rather than outside and there is already enough of a space for good airflow. Depending on your conditions and soil type, leaving the cap completely off may allow too much moisture to eascape or too much rain to enter. With mine, I barely had to pay them any attention. I was growing so many species that it was nice to have something that was more self-sufficient.

i do something similar too. i use regular 4" pots and cut a 600ml bottle at the bottom. these bottles fit nicely inside the pots and the top can be screwed or unscrewed for various humidity amounts...it also stops things from getting wet as the pot (mainly the bottom) are in open air (Terrariums can sometimes have condensation and moisture problems).
