New from biOrb - the biOrbAir This revolutionary product is a completely automated terrarium that creates the perfect little micro climate for growing tropical plants and also keeping some unusual reptiles as we saw at a recent trade show! The biOrb Air replicates exactly the conditions found under a tropical forest canopy and so makes keeping orchid species and other tropical species a breeze! Perfect for Fish or Reptile keepers who also want to have a go at being green fingered! See the biOrb Air in action here! biOrb Air Details The biOrb AIR uses a treated sterilised coir compost as the growth media to cultivate the plant roots. This coir compost is placed on top of a capillary matt that draws water up to the compost from a small water reservoir in the base. The capillary action prevents the plant roots from soaking androtting. Natural daylight is not necessary as the lighting is arranged in a six 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 a brilliant automatic 24 hour cycle, simulating sunrise, daylight, sunset and night time. The lighting on the biOrbAir means that the terrarium can be located in any place in your home - a dark corner of the room or a centre piece on the table it doesn\'t matter. To discourage stagnation and condensation within the biOrbAIR, 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, water is added using an ultrasonic mister mounted in the top water reservoir. The mister generates the \'swirling\' water vapour if the humidity drops below 75% RH. Simply keep topped up with water! biOrb Air Maintenance The biOrb AIR is so easy to maintain, just add Humidimist water to top up the misting reservoir whenever necessary. The lights will flash to let you know when a top up is required. Everything else is automatic!
