Features of eternal terrariums

The features of eternal terrariums can be useful to breeders of local and exotic animals. It will be interesting for them to find out what a florarium is in a light bulb. It is also worth figuring out how to make a closed terrarium with your own hands that will exist forever.

A unique imitation ecosystem is known as the eternal terrarium. It works in a closed loop. Living organisms included in such a closed florarium form a self-sustaining ecosystem. For the first time, such projects were invented by ecologists and other biologists to observe closed communities of organisms.

Such designs allow you to demonstrate to children how life works in nature. The eternal terrarium, unlike ordinary pets, does not need care, no walks or other care measures are required.

You can leave him alone for a very long time, without fear of any negative consequences for the terrarium itself and for the home. It is very exciting to observe the small animals placed there.

Creating a microscopic terrarium will be an extraordinary adventure for children. Many people remember it for years. It is worth mentioning both the educational and educational effect. You can visually introduce an understanding of the ecosystem. There are simply no disadvantages to such an occupation.

You can even prepare an eternal terrarium in a light bulb. The creation process will not be difficult. For work you will need:

• a large unnecessary light bulb (1.5 kW and more powerful);
• glasses and gloves for protection;
• round nose pliers;
• regular flat screwdriver;
• elongated tweezers.

Work begins by removing the base. A cardboard box helps to exclude the scattering of fragments. At this point, you need just gloves and glasses. Then the tip in the lower sector of the base is removed with round-nose pliers. The same tool is used to remove the plastic section of the base. The screwdriver will break out all the insides. This should be done as carefully as possible. The ducks will allow you to extract the broken parts. Sharp debris should be avoided if possible. It will be difficult to fill the light bulb because of them.

It is important to decide which part of the lamp will be at the bottom. Transparent silicone legs are glued to this segment. They provide adequate stability. Such blanks are sold in any furniture store. Instead of ready-made legs, you can use drops of liquid silicone.

The filling of the container can be carried out with sand and pebbles. Both are first washed and then dried. It is best to do this in an oven at 300 degrees. Then any pathological organisms will definitely die and the substrate will be safe for experimenters. Usually 2-3 tablespoons of sand are enough to fill a light bulb.

The heated mass of sand is cooled in advance and covered with sleep. A funnel is used for this purpose. Alternatively, use a cardboard corner. There are a few more recommendations:

• decorate the terrarium with dry moss only;
• insert plants with tweezers;
• to form there collections of pebbles and dried sticks;
• eliminate space overload in the light bulb;
• visually animate compositions with figures of small creatures;
• tightly close the container so that everything inside does not dry out and the plants do not die;
• use an acorn, a small stone, or a carved bottle cork as a lid.

Banks and vases, bowls and Christmas balls are also fine. Even transparent plastic containers can be used. Glass teapots can also be used. The play of light is also taken into account, if necessary, provide for backlighting.

Normal use of the everlasting cage is possible by filling it with suitable plants. Moss is used because of its special vitality and durability. A few more species are selected arbitrarily. It is useful to put in a couple of wildlife items: cones, acorns, and so on. The entourage is selected independently.

You can add moisture with a syringe. You can put 2 or more tiny terrarium on the same shelf or on the same table. Such bulbs are placed at different angles and with different fillings inside. In a dry environment, miniature cacti do well. You can find suitable plants on the florist forums.

A universal glue is used to fix the improvised vessel. We must take care of good sunlight. It is necessary to ensure that the plants do not reach the edge by at least 1/3. Only very tiny living creatures, which are 3-5 times smaller than the container, can be kept inside a light bulb or jar.

Experts advise periodically adding soft water from a syringe. Excessive moisture is harmful. Rotting of some leaves is acceptable, but it should not be excessive. The container should be monitored daily. Tillandsia and other plants that do not require soil are most often planted inside. The mini-terrarium should be well protected from direct sunlight.
