My large terrarium--pictures
Here are pics of my large terrarium. It's 36 x 36 x 18.
About 150 watts worth of lights. A small fan is used to disperse heat.
Orchids, bromeliads, ferns, begonias! 
Enjoy.

Wow, that is amazing! What a beautiful terrarium!
How long did it take you to construct it?
Is this your first terrarium?
Thanks for sharing!  |

Yes, it was my first terrarium. It was patterned after the one i saw on the Black Jungle website.
It took a couple of days to construct. First the foam base with the cypress branches, then covered in black silicone, then quickly applied the coco peat. Then planting was last!

No, i ordered it from Glasscages.com - Home. They don't ship glass, so i had to wait until they had a delivery to L.A.
This is the only place i have seen the front doors available.
