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
That looks crazy good. I was skeptical in the beginning, but the spikey really sold it. Nice!
Thanks 🙏
terrariums are so similar to an aquascape. but it looks like an entire different world. itd be amazing to see you setup a paludarium.
Thanks Christian 👍
Your terrarium turned out just beautifully & looked so easy to do. My favorite is your orchid. Hugs from Hawaii to your dog, Tommy.🐶
Thanks Wanda! Hugs from England 😊
Really nice George. Hi Ray and Jill. I too like the watermelon.👍👍👍
Thanks Vinnie 👍
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!
Thanks Michael! Appreciate the comments 🙏👍
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
Thanks so much for the feedback! Really love to learn more and excited to start my terrarium journey here. 👍🙏
excellent video .. I wish that in Colombia I could buy one of this would be a good gift for my wife greetings.
I look forward to watching you rescape and grow with this new part of the hobby
Thanks 🙏
I love this George! I might have to try getting out of the water...
Cheers Todd 👍
These are really cool but agree with what you were saying about the aquarium versions being tacky. The Air though is awesome and seem pretty simple to set up and maintain. Really interested to see how that utricularia graminifolia works out in there as I've tried it a couple of times in scapes and have had little success as well, hope it works and excited to see it immersed.
Thanks 🙏
It's beautiful!
Thanks 🙏
Outtakes are great, one reason why I'd love to be an actor, funny.
Thanks for the insight. Using mine for growing miniature orchids!
Love the outtakes. You generally make it seam so easy
Thanks Sharon 🙏
But no fish! Mother's Day is coming up - this would be an amazing gift for mom. Look forward to seeing how it grows in and how you maintain it.
I was thinking the same. Would be a beautiful Mother's Day gift.
Thanks Christine 👍
I would love one of these but they come with a surprisingly hefty price tag
They aren’t that expensive
Cra ta Ra ta £350 for one is relatively expensive for a terrarium without any materials to scape it for, most people at least.
Dafydd Edwards they don’t cost that much if you buy them from certain places. Like I’m buying a 60 litre brand new one for £180
Cra ta Ra ta where, everywhere I look for a new one is over £200
Dafydd Edwards depends where you live
Very nice, my Favorit is the Orchidee. 👍👏
I work for an Aquarium store and I recently recieved one of these as a gift for my birthday. I was considering doing a TH-cam series on it but you have beat me to it lol. It's fine since you have excellent production and I honestly have never done a TH-cam video so I doubt I would be anywhere as good as this. Thanks for making it since there were not many videos about the Biorb in English.
You should still go for it! 👍
Fantastic job George , hope to see more air scaping ✌🙏
Thanks mate 👍
My favorite is the watermelon peperomia! Gorgeous set-up! Thank you for sharing! Cherri-O!
Nice video
As with any type of plant or floral arrangement.... An easy thing to keep in mind ..use a Thriller, a Spiller, and Filler.
Stunning piece of Kit! Becoming ever more popular.
Great video George, really informative, thinking of getting one myself, thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate
Great idea thanks again George!! Looking forward to doing mine
Again great video from you George 🙂 I think about it how it could look with mainly "orchid scape" and just few pieces of other plants in foreground.
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.
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.
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!
It looks beautiful
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.
Thanks for the advice! 👍
Nice video n great work 💓💓💓
It's pretty
Looks great 👍🏼 may have to get one 😬
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.
Thanks so much 🙏
That is just jaw- droppin-' pure- D- purdy. I liked the pepperomia (spelling??) for it's texture and shading on it's leaves.
George, George, you made me laugh so much. The terrarium is out of the box, all set up, dirted and planted..."I'll read the instructions properly later, when I take this home."
And the ending...don't worry about botching up words, just drop down and do a few one armed push ups, nobody will remember anything else about the ending, I promise 😂
👍💕👍
Ha ha! Thanks SRL. Always look forward to your comments. 🙏💚
Gorgeous!
Great work, I've been looking forward to this video! My favorite plants are the various selaginela species, I love the subtle colors and fine textures. Thanks for all the terrariums you've featured - you inspired me to make my own, and it has been a fun and rewarding project. Besides, the free CO2 was hard to pass up...
Thanks Dylan 👍
Very beautiful Goerge! Waiting for an update already, cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks Alberto 👍
Excellent again George
Thanks 🙏
Nice video &tank 👍😎
Thanks 🙏
Excellent . That will be very interesting after one -two months
We need to wait )
Beautiful scape! Love the bloopers 😄
Thanks David 👍
Beautiful!! Thank you 💚
Great Video! I would love to see an update of this Biorb.
Fantastic video and scape, George! The orchid will probably be Ok in the coir substrate, but the Selaginella and other plants may need fertilization long-term. Thanks again! 😀🌺🌱👍
Thanks mate! Big learning curve for me 👍
That is simply beautiful.
Thanks 🙏
thats pretty well done
Thanks 🙏
Ahahaha... excellent George! Looks beautiful and good ending.
Thanks Max 👍
Nice job, it’s beautiful. But I wonder how you maintain such a terrarium ? The plants will grow... Could you do a follow up please ? Favorite plant, the pepperromia’s 😍
Thanks! Yes, I’ll be giving updates 👍
Ok, so I need one now. Thanks for that ;)
😂
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.
I think I will install a biOrb at home!
Orchids! Orchids! 😍😍 ♥️
This was a fun change-up. Keep up the good work.
My favorite plant was the pelia :) It is simple yet beautiful.
Love that you put in some of the cuts at the end of the video. Makes you more relatable ;) Looking forward to scaping one of these soon! -Shawn Mac
Looks great.
It's beautiful!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful Terrarium. I might get me one of those! Great Video George!
Thanks Shawn
Very beautiful another great project George 👌
Like the bloopers at the end. 😀
👍
Really great video George. Great project and outcome! Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing!! Can you please show the operation and the complete feature run-down once it is in the GFS gallery?
Yes 👍
So very cool. I want one!! I’ll see if I can find one in the states here.
check out walmart. that's where I purchased mine (marine and reef was my choice of seller)
Awesome. Thankyou :)
As always a beautiful scape again. I guess you could do one in a beer glass ;-)
Can you put frogs in it
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.
Great advice! Thanks so much 👍💚
A much needed video and it is great. However, I wonder whether the mist solution could be replaced with RO water.
Yes 👍
I would love to see an update of how your biorb terrariums are doing.
I donated my 60 but have a new 30 AIR to set up soon… 😃
I look forward to seeing it! I think a lot of us would especially enjoy a 3 month/ 6 month/1 year update on these kind of projects to see how the plants and equipment hold up over time
Nice...👍
Love your work
Thanks 🙏
Also moss makes the biorb look realistic and more texture
Love it! This feels really refreshing to watch. Adds to the variety of the channel
Thanks 🙏
Looks great 👍 George! It's annoying when your mouth won't do what your brain tells it to...LOL! 😝😲🙄😜🤣😀❤️
Very true! 😂
Still trying to get one of these.
Great video as always. I'm very excited about UG at the foreground. Would you do a follow-up on that to see if it works? Thanks
Thanks and yes 👍🙏
Been waiting for this project for so long! Looks great, George!
Thanks Sid 👍
Awesome video 👌👌👌
Thanks 🙏
Have had one for years... can’t believe this is being noticed now
Yes, agreed.
Does it need rocks at the bottom to avoid roots rotting ?
No, it comes with a floating base
99p orange bucket from BnQ. I have so many of them buggers!
Superb video - you made a very complex job look "relatively" easy. Wondering how all the plants did a few months on from this video - not sure if you have/had a follow up.
Nice Design, may i know what is the Orchid Specias you put in the terrarium? Look smaller than usual Orchids.
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?
We will see... 👍
Beautifully done. I just discovered your channel. Would LOVE to see an update on this biOrb and see how the plants are doing in it. Any chance of this? :-)
evening george
Looks great George! I really like it and I want one now
Ha! 👍💚
so like the video, but your stool looked so small for you in the beginning,loli didn't know they made a air one thank you as always
Thanks Joyce
Buy an aquarium for € 25 and a little plant growth light for € 25 and put the plants in it.Spray water two times a week and it has the same result!
This is an extremely expensive thing.
By the way When you buy a biorb try to make an lay out that is interesting when you walk around it So it is interesting from al the sites Not like George does only the front side !
Hi, thanks for the feedback. This biOrb layout is actually viewable nicely from 270 degrees. I knew it was going in a corner so chose the layout I did.
As for making a similar product cheaper - yes, of course this can be done with almost anything in any industry.
I think he did an amazing job! You decorate it based on placement in your house. 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.
Looks great.. Show us the pre-made or ready scaped biorb air that are at the scaped nature store : )))
So beautiful, I believe I like that tiny moss you put out front.
Do you have merchandise, if not have you considered it 👍
WOW thanks 🥰👩🏫🎬🎊🎶😊🌿🌺
Shout out to you sir and more power =)
SUCH a great video!! But I have to ask--where did you get the biOrb AIR in the UK?
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
Thanks Matthew. I didn’t really know how to prepare the plants so just guessed. Hopefully they’ll be ok! How would you have done it?
@@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 😀
Thanks! Appreciate the advice 🙏
Love it does it come in larger sizes?
At the moment this is the only size
i was waiting for this, and very informative video. can you give more info on the Selaginellas you used?
