Unboxing Smart Terrarium and My Favorite Self Watering Pots

Whew, he got me. We were just playing and playing. It's too cold outside. It's like 13. Couldn't do a walk today. That's too cold. So we did circles. We zoomed. We did lots and lots of zooms around the house and up and down the stairs. Good little unexpected workout. Look what I got. Isn't that cool? It's a box cutter. I know, crazy exciting stuff. A box cutter. Had to move that big windmill palm in today. That was fun. The little door over there is frozen shut. So that's where it sits for right now. Oh, hey, uh, what's up, grinding friends? Jeff here is every door of your room. I'm great. I turned this heater off. Let's open up some packages. Oh gosh, that feels better. This desk. I've been doing so many repots out here. It was getting pretty dirty. I wipe it down in between repots, but still, you know, it's just a wipe down. I actually got in and give it a scrub. Some spots won't come off, but I figured, you know, that's okay. Just repotted this guy. Did a root prune on it. I don't know if that's going to hold quite enough moisture. I might need to set this inside of something. I should probably get it out of the way where the heat can't blow on it from up above. So what's, what's going on here? You might want to know a minute into the video. Uh, I have some packages here that have been sitting around for quite a while. These were gifted to me and I just haven't had a chance to open them yet. One of, two of them, two of the three were gifted. The other one I was saving for a special video and I was like, you know, let's just open it. You know, it's been a while. So this is the first one. You can read it right there. It says mesh pot on it. Pardon all the noise in the background. That's me trying to unearth one of the other containers. That's the other one. And then the next one's too big to put up here with it. So here we can open this guy up first. It's an Eva Solo self-watering orchid pot. Interesting concept. I'm pretty sure, you know, it's just a bowl sitting on top of a saucer. So not a lot to that. I don't think you would have to use this just for orchids. Oh, that's kind of nice. It already has the self-watering part installed. I don't think that would be that hard to pull up anyways, but they did a good job. They frayed it and everything up here. So you just do that. Cool. All right. Well, that's a little anticlimactic, isn't it? I suppose I could plant something in it and have a look at this little pamphlet thing. See if that says anything of interest. I doubt it will. It would be embarrassing if somehow I didn't do this correctly, but I'll look at this and see what it says. Oh, that doesn't even open. Do you ever do that where you think something's a pamphlet and then you're like, how come it doesn't open? It turns out it doesn't open. Yeah, you just you do what I just did. And then it wants you to fray this out up here and then do your thing. Pot your stuff up on top of it. I don't know that I'd be putting an orchid in here. I could. I have plenty of phalaenopsis orchids around here. The problem, though, is the phalaenopsis orchid. And that's the orchid that I just had up here. I can grab him. He's still down here by my feet. Here we go. All right. These guys right here, they're mealybug magnets. So I keep them more around my desk and I am just spraying on them constantly. It's really a daily thing. And I just feel like if I had one of those in a container like this, then I wouldn't have the ability to move it around quite as well as I might want to to pick it up and tilt it and everything the way I would need to to spray it. So I don't know. I don't know. Let's just move on. Let's just go quick. We can move on to the next one. And while I'm working on the next one, I can think about what might be fun to put inside of that. Oh, there's that box again, if you're wondering. It's a cool concept. You know, it's fun. We all see the orchid roots and everything. Yeah, I could do a little bonsai type tree in there. My thing, I know I said we're going to move on, but I just want to get my final thoughts out when I haven't even tried the product out. But just from looking at it, when it comes to the self-watering containers, at least this kind right here, and a lot of orchid pots, too, I just find that you still have to refill the thing like once a week. And if you have to add water to it once a week, then why not just just water the plant? Right. I understand what the African violets, different scenario. They do just do better, typically, in a self-watering container. With me, they do better because I don't have to be careful about not getting water into the crown of the plant. But everything else I use this type of setup for where it's just a bowl or a vase or a pot sitting on top of a little water reservoir with a wicking cord in it. I don't know. I have to refill it all the time. So why wouldn't I just water the plant? Sometimes we just do things because it's cool and it looks neat. So I suppose that's what this is for. Let's move on to the next one. That's the mesh pot right here. The mesh pot is another self-watering container, but kind of a neat one. I have another one of these and I did a video on it. I don't think that video ever came out. I'm pretty sure it didn't. Well, I'll see if I can find that video and release it. I used one of these on an Oncidium orchid. Oncidium orchids tend to be very thirsty and it can be hard where I live to give them the water they need with the humidity they need and still get a nice plump pseudobulb without any types of wrinkles on it. So I put the orchid and the pot in the video and I said, oh, I'll follow up. That was, I believe, August or September of 2024. Never released that video. Never did the, I don't know. I suppose we'll talk about it here. Oh yeah. Okay. That's neat. The idea behind the mesh pot is that you have, is this a two pack? Oh, all right. That's nice. We'll get to the point here. We'll talk about the way these guys work. The idea of these is you would put plants in these that need a lot of oxygen, but also would like a good amount of humidity. So that's going to be something like, well, orchids, a lot of orchids at least. And then a lot of the aeroids, the Anthuriums would probably do well in a setup like this. Here's the basket. Look at the holes that are in there, right? So it's shaped somewhat like a root trainer pot. You have a big indentation here, really big. So this can sit down into the water, into this reservoir right here. And this is that reservoir, which I'm trying to remember. I don't think it detaches. I mean, it probably could, but you don't need to. So this sits down on top of this and this has a little spring in it. So once you have it in place, that locks them to this one up here and you can push it down in there to lock it into place. And then I believe the way it works is when you need more water, it pops back up. If I'm remembering correctly. Oh no, that's just, you can adjust the airflow. Nevermind. That's, you can adjust the airflow. You can have it up high for more airflow and more of a drier root. You can have it down low to really get it down there into the water reservoir so that it can wick everything up. Yeah, I don't know. I thought it was cool. I, uh, let me, let's go get that orchid. We can have a look at it. Now that actually worked out well. I need to pull this guy out and do some trimming on it. Trim off its old bloomstocks that it has in here. So this is an Oncidium Sherry Baby, which of the Oncidiums tends to be one of the easier ones, but you can still see here there's some accordion. If that's, I guess that's what we call it, this wrinkling of the sleeve right here. And then the Pseudobulb, more of that wrinkling right there. The Pseudobulbs, they're not so bad. Okay, I've seen way worse on my Oncidiums before. That's actually pretty good. So they can potentially, in an ideal environment, these would be plumped out and fairly smooth and shiny. But, um, nah, that's just hard to pull off. Oncidiums like a good amount of water and, uh, that's just difficult to do when you don't have an outdoor environment for them. It's so easy to rot them out. So I thought, hey, let's give one of these mesh pots a try and see how it does in there. And so far it's done really, really well. It's been very low maintenance, low fuss. I just put water in there about once a week. That's it. And it's, it's, it's been a pretty happy camper. I'm gonna try and lift this guy out, have a look at its roots. There are so many freaking spiders in these things. Everything I've picked up, I think there must've been a big hatch. The reason is there's little tiny spider wings and I don't mind the spiders. The spiders are good, but we have brown widows. A lot of them. They're everywhere and they're not likely to bite and they're not as bad as the black widows, but still it's startling when I don't expect it. Everything I touch has tiny baby spiders on it. So this got potted up in here from, I believe, a four inch container, which is probably standard size for a lot of orchids. And we'll say late summer, maybe early fall of 2024. So about a year and a half ago. And it's been a good amount of growing. We have a couple of new pseudobulbs, a couple of new growths. I had two big flower stalks on this. You can see I missed one in here. So it's been blooming reliably. I've actually gotten two blooms a year out of this one, which has been nice. I always love extra flowers out of the sherry baby. You see there's a nice big new growth coming up in here. Looks pretty good. All these black dots that are on here, one, you should know sherry baby, this particular orchid, very prone to black spots. And it's most likely because of the overhead water. I've been trying to remember to really just get the water in down below and not let it get hit with cold water. That's a, you know, it's pretty normal to get those spots and that's okay. Look at these roots. You know, it's not that easy to see, but you can, I think you can get a good idea of what's going on in there. See the way they're popping out of these holes all the way down here, all the way to the bottom and up inside that cone. So there's been some good root action going on with this guy. Really good root action. Yeah, this is reassuring. Okay, well I gave it a year and a half and now I can say I do like it. I like it quite a lot. This has been one of the easier of the onstitiums for me to grow because of this container, the setup. And it might be that way for every single type of self-watering container. I just, I don't typically try self-watering pots with my orchids, so I don't know. This was a new experience and I think it came out nice. Something that I think is a plus with these that I could see other people maybe not being as happy about is that they're not watertight on the bottom. So you can overfill them and potentially make a mess, but I kind of like that. Not, you know, making a mess. That's not what I mean. But that you have a fail-safe. Anytime I have a self-watering container, I end up having to drill a hole in the side wherever the bottom of the pot meets the water so that there is an overflow. Because I take my plants outside during the summertime. They just really, really enjoy being outdoors. And if it's just one tight seal all the way around, then these things just fill up with water and I end up with a rotten plant. So I like that this part right here, that that's not watertight. I think that's a good thing. But it, you know, could be a problem. Might end up spilling some water or something to be careful with. I wish they weren't white. I'll say that much because, you know, just every single speck of everything sticks to them. But it's also pretty easy to clean them off. They clean up nicely. And that needed to be done. Like I said, oh good, I just spilled that water all over myself. That water is a little bit gross because I used the pond water to water this last night. Okay, that pond water is not so dirty. Have a big filter in there. So yeah, see it just sits in here and you want more air. You snap it down. I do remember this one didn't really, that function didn't work all that well on this. So I'm wondering if maybe this is just a bad one. Perhaps that will work better on one of the others. So being able to just snap it into place. Let's see here. I don't think it needs it. I think that it's fine with the setup that it's in. Notice this wants to pop back up too. And there was no insert or anything with these. So I don't really know what that function would be. I'm looking in the box again. No, no, but I thought it had to do with being able to adjust the airflow. But once you have your pot in there, it doesn't really move. So I think it's just so you can, I guess, move it around in there. I don't know. No idea. But I like them. I think they're cool. Nice pots. The reason that I got these, these other two, is because I wanted to try them with some of my Anthuriums that were being, you know, more difficult. Meaning like my Queen Anthurium and my Veitchii. But then I just gave up on those Anthuriums. Because the way I grow my plants, I like to keep them in here during the winter, because I have to. And then during the mid to late spring, whenever it's consistently warm outside, I move them outdoors. And those two Anthuriums, they just, they have not liked being moved in and out. I move them out, they drop their leaves. And then they grow maybe a couple more by the time it's springing back in. And then I bring them back in, and then they drop a couple leaves. So like, you know, those aren't for me. Those just aren't for me. And that's fine. There's plenty of other things that work with my growing setup. I will probably use at least one of these for another Anthurium orchid that I have that could use a much more moist environment. I'm having trouble keeping it hydrated. And I don't know, maybe I'll go ahead and use this other one for another orchid or for an aeroid of some sort. I'm not sure. I'm also not sure why I decided to drain that out on the table I just cleaned up. Let me wipe that up. And we can open up the next package. Something I do have to say about this pot. Anthurium orchids are not ones that I've ever really recommended to people who are new to orchids. I usually just say try a Phalaenopsis or a Maxillaria tenufoli, the coconut orchid. Those are really tough, or maybe a Dendrobium Phalaenopsis type of orchid. This, in this container, I have treated this just like any of my other houseplants. It's gotten no special treatment like my other Anstidiums. I have to be much more on top of their watering. It's just been treated like a normal houseplant. So I'm gonna say this is a pretty good deal of this. I also potted this up with a finer orchid bark, which is usually a good idea with Anstidiums, at least to feel some place where you don't have a ton of humidity. It's pretty humid here, but it's not tropical humid. And a good amount of Sphagnum moss in there too. I used to not use a lot of Sphagnum moss with my Anstidiums because they would rot. But in this container, there's, I guess there's enough airflow that that hasn't been an issue. We saw those roots, they looked good. So if you want to try an orchid, this would probably be a great one to try if you just don't want a normal mouth orchid type. The Sherry Baby, there's another one called Sweet Memory. Sometimes it says Sherry Baby Sweet Memory, sometimes it'll say Sweet Memory. Smells amazing. Smells so, so, so good. It's a very, uh, like a chocolate and fruit smell. Like a chocolate covered orange with a little bit of spice and vanilla. Very fragrant and worth trying. Okay. Okay, there's one more, just one more package here. I'm trying to get it. It's a little bit larger. And, um, I don't even know what we're gonna do with this right now, but I think it'll be fun trying to figure it out. Look at that. LED rock garden kit with waterfall and fogger from Lifeguard. Lifeguard Aquatics. That's pretty neat. Oh, well, this is actually, this is actually pretty cool. What it looks like here is, well, kind of like an arrow garden, but not. Looks like a contraption with a base in it that has, looks like some sort of filter. That's probably, uh, for the fog. And this is some sort of pump. Maybe with the pre-filters you can make a waterfall and a reservoir in it so you can do a terrarium. The cellar spider. They're harmless and absolutely everywhere out here. I wish I could train the spiders to eat mealybugs. That would be amazing. There'd be no more mealybugs out here. They would be gone. Because I have cellar spiders everywhere out here. Okay. Probably want to see what's in here. I'm curious too. Actually, I remember getting this and then I don't remember something fell through with whoever sent it to me, something like that. I don't remember if it was the company that sent it over here. It wasn't Lifeguard Aquatics. I know that. So I don't know. Nothing ever came of it. So it just sat around, but it has been long enough now that whatever that situation is, there's no longer any contractual obligations. There never were. I never signed anything. And we can see what's going on in here. I'm pretty sure, yeah, this was sent, it was sent as a gift. I just wish I could remember from who, so I could thank them. But, uh, how about, um, no, hold on. I gotta figure out this. It's gonna drive me crazy. Oh my gosh. I just had all kinds of wires crossed. This, I purchased. I purchased this because I was doing a bathroom remodel and I wanted this in that bathroom. And there's a whole different terrarium thing. Maybe that video will come out someday from a company who sent me something they wanted me to try. And then they just kind of vanished into thin air. So I was like, I don't really know what to do with this. Well, and it sits on the ground. Okay. Hey, well packaged. Very well packaged. Is there any instructions or? Nope. Everything's in here. Nice. I don't want to dig through that box and when that box is pretty dirty. This is really sleek looking. Nice shape to it. This is your central grow area. It looks like it has a touch panel up top with the controls on there. Daylight mode, away mode, and night mode. Hey, I wish I had the stuff right now to set this up. This would make for a pretty fun video. I'm sure that I could poke around out here and, you know, I could find something. There are more than enough plants out here. But this seems like the kind of thing where I want to put a good amount of thought into it because, well, it's nice. Remember, it wasn't so cheap either. Got a whole kit in here. Cord arrangement. Is that going to be nice and tidy? Hmm. I still want to build a wall back there if you don't want to look at the cords. Of course, from looking at the picture, I'd say that was the plan with this thing. Anyways, got adapters in here so you can use an on-off switch that will run both the waterfall and the humidifier. That's nice. And a plant intelligent fill light manual. That's weird. Doesn't that, that seems weird, right? Plant intelligent fill light manual. That's what this, that's what you called this? Plant intelligent fill light manual? I suppose it'd be plant intelligent fill light. Huh? Something's not right there. Lifeguard Aquatics used to be a pretty reputable company back in the day. Very pricey. They have stuff that's more expensive. I have some Lifeguard Aquatic pumps in my fish tanks that I've had since like 2007. I, you know, knock on wood. They've been very long lasting pumps, but they were more pricey. Not the most powerful either, but they get the job done. 36 watts. Okay. All right. I mean, this seems actually fairly self-explanatory, but I'll give it a read. Okay. Seems pretty self-explanatory. There is some explanation of the timing, like the lighting cycles that is for the timer. And then the rest of everything that was in there was more about the, like, uh, what to do, what the different lights mean if something isn't working properly. And, uh, warnings and information about recycling. Nothing all that exciting. Okay. Ran inside, grabbed some water. I think it'd be nice to plug this in and make sure it works. I couldn't find my pitcher. My pitcher's missing. I don't know how. I've had the same pitcher sitting by my sink. If you watch my channel, you know, you've seen that pitcher sitting by my sink for the last, I don't know, since 2008, when I got my dog Tucker, I started keeping a pitcher by the sink. So I just always had water there ready for them. And I guess somebody grabbed it and ran off with it. Must be upstairs somewhere. I think I did something wrong here. This doesn't make sense. But what else would I do? I don't, huh? Right. This is the adapter. So you can plug both these guys in. I'm going to on off switch and then here's the power cord, but that's not, that's not going to work. Okay. I have another gander here. I don't remember seeing anything in here about the power cord. Oh, that's right. That's right. Slipped my mind. Totally slipped my mind. So this actually gets plugged into the side of the machine over here, right there. That, is that right? And then the power cord goes on the other side. Well, wait, one's input and one's output. This one's output. So that would, am I inputting the power or my output? Huh? Yeah. Right. Input the power output this. Yeah. Okay. That makes more sense. All right. Okay. That way all this is more streamlined and you can control everything from up top and with that switch on the bottom. Oh, this also came with this. I'm supposed to know the minimum and maximum fill line. I don't know what you as a company has determined the minimum and maximum fill line of your product is. What the heck? And I didn't see anything in here about that. Well, it may have been there and I probably just wasn't paying attention. And then max disclaimer. No input tank, but no, it doesn't even say anything. Yeah. It just says like to place it on a horizontal table. I don't want anything at an angle and then what to do with the different settings. I don't, do I need a measuring tape? How the heck am I supposed to know what the minimum maximum line is in here? Well, I suppose we'll figure it out, put water in there and that can be determined later. So I suppose that makes sense because then you can decide, but we all know what the minimum has to be. It's going to be the tops of these pumps right here. That's the absolute minimum. I wonder if that atomizer is on a floaty. I guess we're going to find out. Go ahead, pour some water into here. I'm sure it won't be that need of a pour because using a vase, that's not too bad. It's like right there. That's probably the minimum if you want to get it to flow right. I would think we're any lower than I don't think the pump would suck anything up. All right, that's plugged in. I turned off some of the lights so that maybe we can see everything better up here. What do we got going on? That's kind of cool. Okay. Is it swirling? Is that just my, I think that's just my imagination. Okay. Well daylight mode. Oh, right. Hey, that's pretty dang bright. That's really bright. Oh, that's going to be beautiful when it's full of plants. And the switch is just what? Oh, okay. So as far as the atomizer, the mister over here, this guy is concerned. It says that in daylight mode, it has like a 10 minute on off cycle. And then there's also an away mode. And with that away mode, it does everything the same, except the atomizer will just run for like four times during the day. And then there's a nightlight mode, which will just run the whole thing as a nightlight. The daylight mode works on a 24 hour cycle. So if you want it to turn on eight 30 in the morning, then you need to turn on eight 30 in the morning. And from that point and on, it'll run for 10 hours on, then shut up for 14 hours and just turn back on and off the same time every single day. I wonder if this has like a memory setting in there. Cause that's a neat feature when things do that, but it's also pretty obnoxious sometimes if your power or your current, you know, if it's flipping in and out and then all of a sudden you have to reset all those things, make sure you turn them on at the right time. I think it's fine. I think that's, that's neat. And you know, this would be cool. There's all kinds of cool things you could do with this. I suppose the idea of this is to increase humidity around the plant because you won't have enough humidity by having an entire waterfall right by them. This is a pretty interesting way they've done this. I guess that's pretty normal for a cool mist type humidifier that's using the disc to make the little micro fine particles of water that turns into that, that vapor. But it's just kind of doing its thing in there. And it's just like, hopefully the tube will catch something that can come out from the tube. Is that better? Can you take it off? Yeah, kind of. Okay. And you know, this is customizable too. So you can cut the height on these pipes and bring it down lower. This right here, you'd build a waterfall around this and then direct this hose into that waterfall. Something I'm noticing is that it looks like in order to access the pump that's in here, you're going to need a screwdriver, which is an interesting choice. I think for ease of use, they would just make this something you could pop in and out because you might need to clean those pumps fairly often. So when I do set this up, I'll definitely be putting extra pre-filters around the grids on the bottoms of each one of these because it looks like it's not going to be that easy to actually get that pump out of there. So if that flow gets restricted or if I want to adjust the flow on the pump, because usually you can adjust the flow on these, then I'm going to have to get a screwdriver. And it looks like it, I think it just opens from the back. It's probably not that complicated. And this one right here doesn't look complicated. Oh, what's that? I have no idea. The instruction said nothing about whatever's going on right here. What is this? Why do I... I feel like that looks familiar. Like it's a thing, but I don't know what it is. That almost looks like a tiny little miniature cooling fan, but it's not. It has nothing to do with the humidifier. The humidifier's down below it. The, you know, the little ultrasonic disc. So you can do this to... you can do that. Oh, I think maybe it's a, it'll adjust the airflow for the humidifier. So see, keep your eyes up here. So that's what it closed. And then when I go like that, it comes out a lot stronger. All right. There's a whole lot of figure it the heck out on your own with this thing, but that's fairly intuitive things. Yeah. So to get the pump, got to take these screws out. If I want to adjust the flow on there, you probably won't need to adjust the flow, but I just, I don't know. I think that's kind of silly for ease of maintenance. I would think it'd be really cool for this to be a setup where you can just kind of pull a chamber out and then boom, you can clean your pump. Oh well, nothing can be perfect and that's all right. I do think that that's nice to have known. How much of a difference does it make? That's a pretty big difference actually. You got a lot more mist out of that with it wide open. So yeah, this is, I'm going to say something you would use more for aesthetics because it's cool. You can, you know, do the thing with the, put some rocks, put a layer of charcoal down on the bottom, some gravel and uh, or lecca, whatever you prefer to use. And then you'd want to build something up with some stones around here and do a whole bunch of moss and plants that like things pretty darn wet. You know, probably do some aquatic plants would be neat in this. Yeah, that could be fun. All kinds of fun possibilities. And I suppose, I don't see why you couldn't fill it up all the way to here if you really wanted to, right? I mean, it gives you room to do all of that. I don't know why I'm doing this. You understand what this would look like because it's full and now I'm going to have to take all that out. That was a decent amount of water. The only thing I'll add on to this, really should use a distilled or some sort of purified water, a bottled water, but not one that's been remineralized, at least not heavily, with one of these things because this mist that settles on things and it ends up leaving like a powdery nastiness on everything. And that could be an issue on the plants too. So if there's going to be a lot of organics in here, then whatever comes out of there might just make things messy. I really don't know. I think it'd probably be fine. Why don't you just depend on your tap water or whatever you're using. But also just a matter of inhaling it too, right? I want to make sure that's really clean water. That's going absolutely everywhere. So I'm probably going to turn that down. And only just 10 minutes on and then 10 minutes off. Actually, I think it'd be nice if that were more customizable. I could see, you know, maybe let it run for 5 to 10 minutes every other hour would probably be ample. But I don't know. I think it's cool that you have the switch option too. So you can just turn that on and turn it off, which I think is really nice because you'll have to refill this an awful lot if you have that running 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off all day long. I would think it would be quite frequently. You could be putting water in there. Unless I'm understanding the directions wrong. I'll give it another gander, but I'm pretty sure it said 10 minutes on 10 minutes off. And it says right here, within 10 hours when the main light of the product is on, the timing cycle of the M21B atomizer is 10 minutes on 10 minutes off. So I think a reasonable person would assume that that means that you're probably going to run through a lot of steam on this thing. Oh, and now it's off. Okay, that's nice. Hey, I'm gonna have fun setting this up. I can think of lots of pros and cons. I think it's neat. This is your jam. You can probably get really creative with this. Maybe give it a try if they even still sell it. This has been sitting around here for a few years waiting to be opened up. I'll look into it. It's the M21 Plant Intelligent Fill Light. Made by Lifeguard. Maybe search Lifeguard Terrarium Kit perhaps. That would help you find it. I don't know. Well, hey, these were all pretty cool. I like them. I'm excited to have gotten this one opened up. Oh, apparently 10 minutes on... Is this just switched off? No? Okay. 10 minutes on 10 minutes off also apparently goes for the waterfall feature, not just the atomizer. Yeah, I knew about the mesh pots and I saw the picture in the box for this one, so those weren't that much of a surprise. This thing, I knew what it was, but I wasn't sure. I don't really know if this sort of thing to get hands-on with it. I think it's pretty cool. This guy over here, I am going to hold off on planting it up because I was thinking about it and if I were to do an orchid in here, I'd want to do like a mini Phalaenopsis orchid. This is the Phalaenopsis orchid up here. The moth orchids because they tend to stay on the smaller side, hence the mini, and all the Phalaenopsis I have right now are pretty big and I just don't think this would be the best fit for them. They'd just be leaves everywhere. I think something small would be nice or maybe I'll pop an aeroid in here or something, but it's a neat idea. I'd want to put something here with some really neat roots. There are some Chorophytums that have really neat looking roots on them. They're like bright orange. Might be an option. I don't know. Well, I don't know how those lights, those lights, how those roots do expose to light on those Chorophytums. The orchid's not going to care. So, and it gives me an excuse to go buy another, just a cute little tiny orchid. That'd be fun in that. I don't know if you guys really had a good look at the light down in here, but it's a good combination of whites and red and it's nice and bright. I like that. A lot of times these LED lights that are built into things are pretty puny, not very bright. That looks good. This illuminates very, very well. This looks nice. Aesthetically, this is very pleasing and I like that the light, they got it up there just right, so it's not bugging me. I don't like being able to see light fixtures. You guys are angled down up here by my head, where I'm sitting, like looking at straight on. You really, you can't really see that unless you get down low to it. It doesn't bother me that much and it's still really bright and really nice. I wouldn't put fish in here. I'm just saying that in case somebody comments, I think this is too small, right? That's, I don't think that'd be a great idea and you just add water to it so frequently too. I don't think that would make for a very happy fish, but I'm going to have fun setting this up. I'll be collecting over time some smaller rocks to work with. I have a bunch of rock, but I think the bulk of it is all just way too big. I mean, like look at that. It'd be beautiful in there, but that's, that's too much. I don't have a lot of smaller pieces. I guess I have, you know, I got some of these guys. You can pile them up or do the foam thing where you use a spray foam and then carve it out and silicone it and do the whole thing. I don't know. Lots of possibilities. Probably should expect a video coming out at some point of me doing that because I don't know, I think it'd be fun and I would like to give that a shot. Might be a while though because this is the time of year the nurseries don't have a lot of terrarium plants and things to choose from. So, um, yeah, I think it just makes sense to wait until I have all the stuff I'd like to put in there, but I think this would look cool if it were even just rocks and some moss, so could do that and just add to it later. We'll see. Highly recommend that mesh pot. This, this has done well for this orchid and, uh, I don't know about that one. It's just a self-watering pot that looks neat. Probably overpriced. I will link these things if I can find the links. I don't know if they still sell these things. They've been around for, in these boxes waiting for me to open them for quite a long time. So, I don't know, but I just thought it would be fun to open them up. We can look at the products. Give me a chance to talk about this mesh pot. I'm going to try and find the original video that I never released and go ahead and give an update to that video so it can be a full, you know, beginning and ending with, you know, a year and a half of growing experience with the pot to actually talk about how I liked it and how the plant grew with it. Comment down below if you guys tried any of these things. What are some of your experiences? Favorite types of self-watering containers and all-in-one terrarium style kits that you may or may not have tried? Issues you can see with this? Yeah, let me know all that stuff because I will be filming a video putting this together, so any feedback you have to give of things that would be important to talk about, I'd appreciate it, right? You know, put our minds together and come up with all the various obstacles there might be to tackle with something that's so open and also so incredibly wet. All right, hope everybody's doing well. Having a great day, a great night, and everything's just going absolutely beautifully for you. And of course, as always, and most importantly, everybody, keep on growing! Bye-bye!
