I’ve watched several of these biorb air vids and this still remains my favourite one by a mile, I like the simplicity and the fact he hasn’t overcrowded this compared to a lot I’ve seen, but still managed to achieve great texture and colour ❤❤

The orchid is lovely. These videos are causing all kind of marital strife for me as I always want to buy something new and have a go myself

Go for it I bet you could do a fab job. Lots of videos to help. Treat yourself up you are worth it x

you could add some isopods and springtails

I've been waiting for this one George. As you mentioned I've seen in the background! Many of the skills and principles that you've acquired apply here as well. You've done a great job as always. Make sure Tommy at Green Aqua sees this, I'm sure he will love it. Perhaps this is one of many to come. In fact you may be moving to another aspect of the hobby as well as your business. Keep on 'scaping George!

Stunning piece of Kit! Becoming ever more popular.

Very cool. I don’t think the Phalaenopsis is going to be happy in there though. Their roots have to dry out between waterings and their flowers hate stagnant air. The fan will help but may drive the humidity down too low for the saligenella species. There are lots of small orchids that like it wet. Bulbophlum, Pleurothallis and Masdavilla come to mind. The various species of jewel orchids also love terrariums. If you want a vine, Vanilla is another terrarium lover. Good luck, Chris

Making this comment only a minute and a half in and those are my thoughts exactly, I much prefer these as I've never liked the aquarium version for those exact reasons and I also agree about curved edge tanks too, I've still got one like it but it's a plant keeping practice tank but it has had fish in the past and they distorted as they passed the curve. The biorb air looks great.

My sister bought the biorb aquarium without warning me the aquarist of the family. She finally got fed up with it and I'm sure I can covert it to a biorb air for her utilizing the air pump entrance.

You have a outstanding eye for horticulture in general. Weather it's a aquascape or bio orb.I can speak as a experienced horticulturist that you have a God given talent my friend. Well done as always.If you want to attend the Kentucky Derby the tickets are on me and you can crash in the spare room.And maybe you could help me with this 20 gallon tall aquarium...lol.

Great video and spot on for a display piece. However, from personal experience coco coir isn’t great for longevity. I add sphagnum moss, orchid bark and sand to make the substrate more complete. I also thoroughly wash all plants and remove all the soil from the roots. This massively reduces the potential for pests to be introduced to the setup. I finish the setup by adding springtails and isopods to make setup fully bioactive.

Really enjoyed it George, hope you'll make a part II in a while when you installed it home. Really curious to all your experience so far with the mist and condens on the sphere, and how to manage the waterlevel ect... For now thanks for this video!

Really great video George. Great project and outcome! Thanks for sharing.

I don't suggest putting that phalaenopsis orchid in there, they can thrive in a room. Although orchids like humidity some are ok with dry periods - most orchids are like succulents and cacti. Most can survive being watered every 3 days to every week; depends on what substrate they are in of course. Go with another orchid like masdevillia types, jewel orchids for their leaves, or even bulbophyllum types those can thrive in humid environments better.

Great scape, we wouldn't expect any less from one of the Western world's leading aquascapers. But if I may say so, it shows that terrariums are not your cup of tea. The soil, not compost, is probably coconut fiber. Not exactly rich in nutrients. Adding some actual compost and biodegradables would have been better. Plse make sure to mist and water with aquariumwater. That way you give some extra nutrients to the plants. Distilled water will cause deficiencies for the plants since the soil is not nutrient rich. You're familiar with Serpa Design. You might want to check his channel for tutorials on how to create terrarium soil. The channel from "the bio dude" Josh Halter might be worth a visit as well. Alsof, personally, I'm an adept of bioactive soil, even for my house plants (springtails and white tropical isopods). It may be something to consider for the Biorp as well.

Hi George, as a carnivorous plant will you be feeding the utricularia anything in particular? I understand that as a submerged plant it develops bladder traps which feed on infusoria, does it not develop bladder traps when planted above the water line or can it survive on the nutrients in the substrate/fertilisers alone?

I already ordered the 8 gal aquarium,(I was unaware that it was not fully clear), and I plan on doing a 370 degree design, With fish, but they sell those foggers seperatley, so if someone wanted to do the same thing, with the cheaper aquarium, they probably could. I hope it's not too cheezy. It arrives tomorrow.

Interested to see how this turns out as you used planting techniques you would for an aquarium i.e. removing substrate from the roots and pressing the plants into the soil. These same rules aren't really transferable when working with plants out of water. I hope the plants take and thrive because it will be beautiful

@mathewhull5557

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios I'm sure they will be okay as it's kept quite damp in a biorb air. The main things I would change would be to wash the plant roots of soil if you want to get rid of some of the potting soil, much like you do with invitro plants. Generally speaking, you can't rip off roots in the manner you might do with a crypt for instance. Roots can be very delicate and you want the fine fibrous roots to stay with the plant. The other thing is planting. Dig a hole the right size for the plant roots and make sure the root flare, where the roots turn into stems, sits on the soil line. I see often in aquarium planting that plants can be pushed into soil and be buried quite deep but still survive. Not often the case with terrestrial plants. I hope that makes sense. Still loving the videos and hope this project looks great in your gallery 😀

I would recommend always putting orchids and other delicate flowers in last. That way as you're reaching in to add moss and other features, you don't bruise the flowers or (God forbid!) snap off the flowering stem. :-0

Nice Design, may i know what is the Orchid Specias you put in the terrarium? Look smaller than usual Orchids.
