Waterfall inside a jar (making a Paludarium style terrarium in a jar with a working waterfall)

In this video I have attempted to created a rocky mountain cliff scene with a working waterfall. I used a 3000ml glass container for this project. I drilled a hole on the glass for passing through the electric wire of the submersible pump that I am using to create the waterfall. a hardscape was created using Seiryu stones joined together with Silicone and superglue. A water test was done at this point ensure everything is working as planned. The pump was secured with aquarium filter floss and sponge so that dust and debris would not get in. (The sponge will also provide support to the rock hardscape).Next soaked Sphagnum moss was filled between the cracks of the rocks on which live sheet moss was planted. Gravel and some rocks were added in the foreground. Water was then added and the pump switched on. Next I proceeded with planting using aquatic plants like Anubias and Hydrocotyle. Selaginella was also added later. Aquatic Christmas Moss was added along the pathway of the waterfall to soften the flow of water. Finally some detailing wood were added to the scape to lift up the scene and a small piece of rock added at the top to hide the outlet pipe of the waterfall.

The celebration of colours, the ambient sounds, the mystic scent and the fascinating wildlife that make up the forestlands and waterbodies of our earth is the elixir of his life.

The urban nemophilist attempts to capture all of this through his green art and sustainable gardening activities while his sketching and music sets up the mood for what is nature-appreciation at its best.

His goal is to create awareness on conservation of nature and wildlife through is art and sustainable initiatives.
