Features
- 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 an 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, 500ml bottle of Humidimist, transformer, remote control, and instruction manual.

You can grow so many different varieties of plants in your biOrb AIR.
These can loosely split into 5 groups:
1. Foliage plants
Lots to choose from. Foliage plants are usually quite robust, low-level and slow growing.
You might like to consider:
Fittonia Skeleton bicolour
A stunning colour combination of a bright green leaf with red veins. Plant in small groups. Will spread but remains low growing.
Fittonia Red
Has narrower leaves and remains quite small. Best planted in small groups.
Fittonia Lemon
A citrus colour with wider leaves. This Fittonia can grow slightly larger.
Fittonia White
White veins on a dark green leaf. Low growing with a spreading habit. Plant in small groups.
Peperomia Rotundifolia
Vibrant green, round leaves. Works well for ground cover and infill. Like to creep with new growth being a brighter green.
Peperomia Angulata
Has dark green, striped, angular leaves. Good for ground cover and can be used as a feature plant.
Peperomia verticillata
The leaves form discs around the stems. Grows with a tumbling habit.
Peperomia mixed
The range of Peperomias is very extensive and varied - there’s a wide choice of leaf colours and shapes.
Ball / Pillow Moss
Use in groups or form into a larger single piece. Makes a nice edging detail. Good for creating a Japanese garden look.
2. Feature Plants
Larger plants but still slow growing. Use to create a focal point in your biOrb AIR, or for background.
Ficus Ginseng
Grows with some roots - aerial roots – exposed, enhancing their ‘jungle’ like quality. Should be pruned periodically to maintain size and shape.
Adiantum raddianum Fragrans (Maiden Hair Fern)
A small growing attractive plant with vibrant green leaves.
Adiantum tenerum Scutum Roseum
The new growth of this fern has a pink tinge.
Asparagus plumosus
Very fine bright green foliage, held from delicate branches forming many layers.
Asplenium antiquum (Birds-nest fern)
A slow growing plant with attractive bright green strap like leaves.
Cryptanthus mixed (red)
Small growing with irregular, spiny leaves. Can produce small flowers in the centre of the plant. Often develops side shoots which grow into new plants.
Cryptanthus mixed
Available in various shapes and sizes. Grow close to the ground and can be as small as 3 inches tall.
Neoregelia Fireball
Small growing with pink / purple flushed leaves. Can be grown in soil or on branches (epiphytically).
3. Orchids
Orchids are the most diverse spe- cies of plant on the planet. And are mostly found in tropical rain forests. Orchids either grow on the ground of as a parasite on trees (epiphytically).
Micro Phalaenopsis
A small variety ideal for your biOrb AIR. Grows epiphytically so should be planted with the roots semi exposed. Can be made to reflower.
Ceratostylis Retisquama
The plant has a rambling growth habit and leaves which are round on one side but flat on the other (semi-terete). Grows epiphytically or in free draining substrate. Produces a single, red-orange flower. Can be made to re-flower.
Haraella Ordorata
Miniature fan shaped plants with leaves about 4cm long and 1cm wide. Well grown plants fre- quently flower all year. The attractive, pleasant smelling, yellow and purple flowers are held away from the plant.
Psygmorchis pusilla
A miniature plant with leaves arranged in a fan shape. Produces a succession of yellow flowers held away from the plant.
Ornithidium Sophrontis
Compact with a creeping habit.
Ornithophora Radicans
A true miniature with delicate white & brown flowers and grass like leaves.
4. Tillandsia
Commonly known as ‘air plants’. Tillandsia mostly grow without soil as parasites on trees or other plants (epiphytically) - they don’t cause any harm to their host.
Tillandsia Cyanea
Has a tall bract sprouting from a cluster of leaves. The bract changes from green to bright pink when the plant flowers. Each flower is purple and has three petals. Petals may not last long, but the bract remains pink for many weeks.
Tillandsia Festucoides
Perfect for your biOrb AIR, this plant has long, grassy looking leaves.
Tillandsia Ionantha Rubra
Small plant producing a dense rosette of green leaves which take on a vivid red hue around flowering. Blooms are neon violet.
Tillandsia Brachycaulos x Abdita (with red floral tint)
Starts life with velvet like soft, dense green leaves. Colour changes to beautiful hues of pink and cardinal red as it starts to emit purple, pink, and yellow blooms.
Tillandsia Fillifolia
Small with many, very fine leaves in rosette.
Tillandsia Ionantha Fuego
Makes up for its small size with its intensely neon red colouration around flowering time. Blooms are deep, velvety purple.
Tillandsia Tricolor Melanocrater
Gets its name from its multi-coloured flower stems. Elegant long, stiff leaves turn almost entirely red around flowering season.
5. Carnivorous plants
Many species of carnivorous plants flourish in a biOrb AIR. But do remember they need insects for food.
Dionaea muscipula (Venus fly trap)
Probably the most famous carnivorous plant. Trap closes when an insect touches several of the small hairs on the inside. Traps only activate 3-4 times before turning black and dying.
Drosera Aliceae (Honey dew plant)
Leaves are covered with hairs, each one having a sticky dew drop to trap insects.
Pinquicula
Has bright green leaves arranged in a circle. Produces a succession of purple flowers held aloft on stems. Flowers exude a sticky sap to attract and ensnare insects.
Sarracenia
A ‘pitcher’ plant which comes in a variety of colours and sizes. Insects are attracted to the mouth of the pitcher where they slip and fall inside.
Heliamphora nutans x heterdoxa
Small with bright green pitchers reaching ap- proximately 10cm high.
