Jessi and Squeaks just learned about terrariums, and now they want to make one for themselves! Join them to learn all about these tiny gardens in a bottle and how you can make one of your own!

Do how do Venus Fly Traps digest their food?? That's my question please do it
Best narrator , Show Host , Science Teacher Ever!
Me and my dad are going to make one! Great idea !
Do you remove the plants from their little buckets or put the buckets in the soil?
And so far mine is doing well
I love your videos and also this is an awesome thing for kids like me!!
I'm 21 years old next week and this is still incredibly interesting (:
Do you need to make sure your container isn't air tight? Otherwise, how will your plants access enough CO2?
cant wait to try this wooooooo -z
I'd love to make one of these for my room but my room doesn't get any natural sunlight 🙁
I have a vague memory from when I was in grade school, way back in the early 80s, making what I would call a terrarium out on the playground, though I'm sure it really wasn't, because I didn't use a container. I suppose I just liked the idea (and the word).
I don't mind that this is for children… I love terrariums
Super cool!
