  • For this one I teamed up with Oase to make my very first biOrb AIR! I knew I had to pull out all the stops for this one. A lot of you actually were requesting that I set one of these up as well, so it was a win win. I don't think I've seen another bioactive biOrb either... It had to be done. I also incorporated a lot of rare and oddball plants that I've had on deck for a while. I'll let the video do the rest of the talking from here.
    Like I said in the video I haven't had a chance to use it for very long, so I can't give a full assessment at this time. I'll follow up in a few months though to show you the growth and let you know what my thoughts are. That said, my initial impression is that I really like it. If I determine that it's a solid piece, then we'll talk about stocking it with some more critters... PDFs anyone?
    In case you wanted to learn more about the biOrb AIR or were looking to buy one for yourself, check out the links below! Just linking it up for you. I do not get any kind of compensation for it.
    store.oase-usa.com/ or amzn.to/2W1vQkV
    Also, just for the record you DO NOT need to spend a ton of cash to get a well established, highly functioning system. I've shown you all about that until this point.
    In case you're wondering, here's a Full Plant List:
    Adiantum pubescens (Rough Maidenhiar Fern)
    Alternanthera ficoidea 'Christmas Tree'
    Badge Moss (Plagiomnium insigne)
    Begonia rex 'Rumba'
    Colysis wrightii 'Monstrifera'
    Cryptanthus acaulis 'Jade'
    Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia' (Oak Leaf Creeping Fig)
    Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy' (Spotted Dead Nettle)
    Liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha)
    Macodes petola
    Masdevallia nidifica
    Pilea glauca 'Aquamarine'
    Pleurothallis grobyi 'Small'
    Pteris cretica 'Roweri'
    Saxifraga veitchiana (Strawberry Begonia)
    Selaginella kraussiana
    Selaginella pallescens

      The price has been a "no go" for me as well. But when you really think about it: how much is a standard 45x45x60 cm exoterra when you count in lighting, automation, misting gear, ... And apparently in this case you only need one plug. So, while watching this video, I really decided to try and find a used one 😉

    When I was little, my maternal grandparents got a big globe terrarium that sat on a pedestal. They had me help them put it together and add the plants. I watched the plants grow overtime and loved it. Your videos on terrariums has woken that love. I can’t wait until I can make my own, but I first need to find a job so I can buy what I need. This terrarium looks very similar, minus all the bells and whistles, to what my grandparents had.

      I used to grow full sized orchids, but since surviving cancer, I am no longer strong enough to handle them. I'm switching to miniatures, and this type of setup will be ideal for me. Drying out of small pots is a major problem, but not with this setup.
      I will be starting with some miniature Phalaenopsis, and Dendrobium loddigessii. Might also try some terrestrials that grow in damp soil, like Acianthus and Corybas.

    You did such a nice job I think if biOrb owes you some money!! All your work is brilliant but this one is, without a doubt, some of your best work. Kudos, VERY nicely done! Thank you for sharing. 😊❤

    This might be my absolute favorite of all your terrariums. It's SO beautiful, and it's just begging to have an adorable gecko (or something similar) living in it! I'm jealous of your skills :)
