How the AIR Terrarium works
- The biOrb AIR automatically controls lighting, watering, humidity and air circulation. Select the appropriate settings to create the climate you need based on your plants.
- 1. Sterilized coir compost is placed on top of the capillary mat, which draws water from the water reservoir in the base. This capillary action prevents the plant roots from soaking and rotting.
-
2. LED Lighting is arranged in a circular pattern for perfect placement to support growth. This prevents the plants leaning towards a single light source. The light works on an automatic 24 hour cycle, simulating sunrise, daylight, sunset and night time.
3. The AIR senses when the humidity drops and gently mists your plants using an ultrasonic mister mounted in the lid's water reservoir. You can choose from 3 misting settings, depending on what is best for your plants: Low (for environments with a light amount of plants), Automatic (for tropical plant growth), High (for jungle environment). Note: Only use HumidiMist in the unit.
4. The AIR senses when the humidity drops and circulates air with the fan. The fan contains a replaceable carbon filter that absorbs odors while the fan circulates the air. You can choose from 3 fan speeds (Low, Medium, or High) for more control over fluid usage and noise reduction.
Acrylic vs. Glass
- Inside a traditional, condensation filled, glass terrarium, it’s impossible to enjoy your plants exquisite colours and shapes.
The crystal clear dome of your biOrb AIR enables you to enjoy every facet of the wonderful tropical world you create.
But being perfectly suited to your home with its award winning, chic, minimalist design is not enough … how your biOrb AIR performs is equally important — it needs to have ‘functional beauty’.
- For example, the biOrb AIR is made with acrylic instead of glass. Why? Because Acrylic is incredibly strong. What’s more, acrylic doesn’t have a green tint like thick glass always does. And allows 23% more light to pass through. All this means the clarity of your biOrb AIR is astonishing. Allowing you to savour even the smallest detail of your planted world.
Which AIR is right for you?
- Both biOrb AIR models let you landscape and cultivate your own wondrous natural world. But there are differences between the 2 models. Some of which may affect your choice. For example, if space is a limited, the 19.75 in. diameter of biOrb AIR 60 may be too big for you. And you’re better off with a biOrb AIR 30 if you want to grow semi-arid plants. Finally, if you want simple ‘set and forget’ control, the biOrb AIR 30 with its remote control is the model you need. The following table will make it easier for you to select the biOrb AIR that’s right for you.
