FAQ
How often should I clean my EARTH vivarium?
biOrb EARTH is designed to be low-maintenance, but we recommend gently wiping the inside of the vivarium once a week to remove any condensation or watermarks. You should also check filters monthly and trim plant growth as needed to keep your mini ecosystem thriving.
What’s the best way to control humidity inside the EARTH?
The built-in humidity control system automatically regulates levels, but using biOrb HumidiMist ensures consistent moisture for tropical plant species. Avoid manual misting—trust the sensors and top up the HumidiMist reservoir as needed.
When should I replace the carbon filter cartridges?
For optimal air purity, change your carbon filters every 3 to 6 months. This helps prevent odor buildup and maintains healthy airflow for your plants.
Can I use tap water inside the biOrb EARTH?
We recommend using HumidiMist to avoid mineral deposits. Tap water can leave visible residue that’s harder to clean and may affect the humidity system over time.
What kind of plants work best in a biOrb EARTH?
biOrb EARTH 125 supports both tropical and semi-arid environments. For a lush, humid setup, choose tropical plants that thrive in high humidity—like ferns, orchids, mosses, and tropical vines. Prefer a desert-inspired look? Opt for cacti and succulents that favor drier conditions. Just be sure to use cactus mix soil and finish with sand or gravel for proper drainage.
