"I’ve only had mine for 3 weeks or so but the misting feature is faulty as it spritz water with mist and I have to keep replacing the mist reservoir. As a result, my water indicator shows too much water in the system"

- THE ULTIMATE TERRARIUM FOR PLANT ENTHUSIASTS — Showcase and grow healthy tropical, temperate, or semi-arid plants in this fully automated terrarium. Our newest model, the AIR 30’s compact size makes it ideal for desktop or tabletop display.
- MAINTAINS HUMIDITY LEVELS — This terrarium senses when the humidity drops and gently mists and circulates air to stay within the selected relative humidity (RH) range. Use the included remote control to choose between three settings: low for semi-arid plants, moderate for temperate plants with no specific needs, and high for tropical plants.
- PERFECT LIGHTING — Natural daylight is not necessary as the lighting is arranged in an LED array at the top of the sphere. This emits the perfect light output that promotes natural growth and prevents plants from bending towards a single light source. Use the remote to control the brightness or pick an 8-hour, 10-hour, 12-hour, or 14-hour light cycle, with each cycle simulating sunrise, daylight, dusk, and nighttime.
- UNIQUE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION — Enjoy a 360-degree view of your mini paradise through its globe-like shape. Its acrylic material is 10 times stronger than glass, 50% lighter, and has a 23% transparency rating for a clear view. Plus, the low heat loss of acrylic makes it perfect for regulating the internal climate of your terrarium.
- EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED, JUST ADD PLANTS — Includes a 30-liter (8-gallon) acrylic terrarium and base, lighting, automatic misting unit, filter cartridge, coir compost for tropical and temperate micro-climates, arid mix for semi-arid micro-climate, capillary matting, support tray, 16.9 oz. (500ml) bottle of Humidimist, transformer, remote control, and instruction manual. Also includes a 2-year warranty.

FAQ
Can I use the AIR 30 in low light spaces?
Absolutely. The built-in LED lighting replicates a natural day/night cycle, making the AIR 30 perfect for rooms with minimal sunlight. It’s designed to support plant health in nearly any indoor space.
Does the AIR 30 come with a remote?
Yes! The AIR 30 includes a compact remote that allows you to easily switch between climate settings, adjust light timing, or power your system on and off. It puts full control in your hands, no matter where you place your terrarium.
What are the three climate settings on the AIR 30?
The AIR 30 includes three pre-programmed climate modes: Tropical, Temperate, and Arid. Each adjusts the misting, airflow, and lighting cycles to suit different plant environments. Simply select your desired mode with the remote, and the AIR 30 does the rest—no guesswork needed.
What types of plants grow best in the AIR 30?
The AIR 30 supports a wide variety of plants thanks to its three built-in climate presets:
- Tropical: Best for humidity-loving plants like ferns, mosses, orchids, and begonias. This setting increases misting and airflow to mimic rainforest conditions.
- Temperate: Ideal for woodland species such as peperomia, fittonia, and small foliage plants. It provides moderate humidity and a balanced day/night light cycle.
- Arid: Designed for succulents, air plants, and drought-tolerant varieties. This mode reduces misting and airflow for a drier, low-humidity environment.
Choose the preset that suits your plants, and the AIR 30 automatically adjusts its environment for optimal growth.
What kind of substrate is best?
The AIR 30 includes coir compost for planting, but you can also add bioactive or mineral-rich substrates depending on your plant choices. These help support root health and maintain moisture levels over time.
Do I need to trim my plants?
Yes, occasional trimming helps your plants thrive and prevents overcrowding. Most users find a light trim every few weeks keeps things tidy and encourages healthy growth.
How often should I replace the carbon filter?
To keep your AIR 30 running efficiently and smelling fresh, we recommend replacing the activated carbon filter every 6 months. If you notice any musty smells or reduced airflow, it may be time for a change sooner. Explore our Helpful Videos for visual instructions.
How do I prevent mold or pests?
The AIR 30’s built-in airflow and humidity controls are designed to discourage mold and gnats by keeping conditions balanced. Using the right substrate and avoiding overwatering also helps keep your terrarium clean and healthy.
How do I know when to refill the Humidimist reservoir?
When the Humidimist reservoir is low, the AIR 30’s lights will gently fade on and off as a visual alert. Simply refill the base with distilled water or biOrb Humidimist to restore optimal humidity levels. Regular refills help keep your plants thriving. Explore our Helpful Videos for visual instructions.
How do I know when to refill the water reservoir?
The AIR 30 has a built-in water level indicator (a small, translucent tube on the exterior of the base) that lets you check water levels at a glance. For Temperate and Tropical settings, we recommend checking and refilling the base reservoir every 1–2 weeks. For Arid settings, every 2–3 weeks is typically sufficient. Explore our Helpful Videos for visual instructions.
What's the difference between the AIR 30 and the AIR 60?
The AIR 30 is more compact and ideal for desktops or small spaces, with three climate settings and a remote control to fine-tune your environment. The AIR 60 is larger, with a dual fan system and enhanced lighting for more ambitious plant setups or design impact.

Lighting issues
"Update on last review. You only helped me with the mister issue I was having. I have reached out multiple times stating that my plants are all stretching towards the light. Meaning the light isn't appropriate for the plants to grow properly. That is what no one in customer service has responded back to me about. This apparently is the only way to get your attention on this issue."
Better off building your own!

Q&A
- Is the Air 30 sealed? Would fruit flies or springtails be completely contained inside?
- Hello Amy. The biOrb AIR 30 Terrarium lid is not fully sealed, so any insects added should be flightless and not able to climb up the curved walls. We hope this helps!
- How to set the timer to start at specific time of day. Mine now starts at noon and ends at midnight. Would like to change that.
- Hello Bret. To restart your climate/timer settings, you can press the remote power button to initiate set-up/system check, hold until you see the lights blink. You can then reset the light when you want the daylight portion of the cycle to start. Here is a video on the AIR 30 light settings for more information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g7bhPyCB0k We hope this helps!
