The biOrb AIR 30 is a fully automated terrarium that creates the perfect micro-climate for growing healthy tropical, temperate, or semi-arid plants by providing the humidity, air circulation and lighting they need. Its globe-like shape gives you a 360-degree view of the world you've created and the pleasure of watching it develop and grow, like a window into another world. The biOrb AIR series uses treated sterilized coir compost as the growth media to cultivate the plant roots. The coir compost is placed on top of a capillary mat that draws water up to the compost from a small water reservoir in the base. This capillary action prevents the plant roots from soaking and rotting. Easily setup and control the lighting and humidity inside your AIR 30 using a 13-button remote control. Natural daylight is not necessary as the lighting is arranged in LED array at the top of the sphere. This emits the perfect light output for encouraging natural growth and prevents plants bending towards a single light source. The light also works on an 8-hour, 10-hour, 12-hour, or 14-hour light cycle, simulating sunrise, daylight, desk and nighttime. To discourage stagnation and condensation within the biOrb AIR series, a constantly running fan recycles the air through a replaceable carbon filter. A small amount of fresh air is regularly introduced as part of the circulation process. To maintain the humidity within the micro-climate, HumidiMist is added using an ultrasonic mister mounted in the lid’s reservoir. The terrarium senses when the humidity drops and gently mists and circulates air to stay within the selected relative humidity (RH) range: low for semi-arid plants, moderate for temperate plants with no specific needs, and high for tropical plants. The biOrb AIR includes everything you need to start your terrarium: 8-gallon (30L) acrylic terrarium and base, lighting, automatic misting unit, filter cartridge, coir compost, Arid Mix, capillary matting, support tray, 16.9 oz. (500ml) bottle of HumidiMist, transformer, remote control, and instruction manual. The terrarium is available in white, grey, and black and includes a 2-year warranty.
