Bioactive Orchid Forest biOrb AIR

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2019
- For this one I teamed up with Oase to make my very first biOrb AIR! I knew I had to pull out all the stops for this one. A lot of you actually were requesting that I set one of these up as well, so it was a win win. I don't think I've seen another bioactive biOrb either... It had to be done. I also incorporated a lot of rare and oddball plants that I've had on deck for a while. I'll let the video do the rest of the talking from here.
Like I said in the video I haven't had a chance to use it for very long, so I can't give a full assessment at this time. I'll follow up in a few months though to show you the growth and let you know what my thoughts are. That said, my initial impression is that I really like it. If I determine that it's a solid piece, then we'll talk about stocking it with some more critters... PDFs anyone?
In case you wanted to learn more about the biOrb AIR or were looking to buy one for yourself, check out the links below! Just linking it up for you. I do not get any kind of compensation for it.

Also, just for the record you DO NOT need to spend a ton of cash to get a well established, highly functioning system. I've shown you all about that until this point.
In case you're wondering, here's a Full Plant List:
Adiantum pubescens (Rough Maidenhiar Fern)
Alternanthera ficoidea 'Christmas Tree'
Badge Moss (Plagiomnium insigne)
Begonia rex 'Rumba'
Colysis wrightii 'Monstrifera'
Cryptanthus acaulis 'Jade'
Ficus pumila 'Quercifolia' (Oak Leaf Creeping Fig)
Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy' (Spotted Dead Nettle)
Liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha)
Macodes petola
Masdevallia nidifica
Pilea glauca 'Aquamarine'
Pleurothallis grobyi 'Small'
Pteris cretica 'Roweri'
Saxifraga veitchiana (Strawberry Begonia)

Oase and I teamed up for this one to bring you a bioative biOrb! So glad I could make this happen for all of you who requested it. Enjoy!
Glad you could make it too! I'm sure they'll be very impressed by your work!

Your review, thankfully, was honest about the pros and cons. Thus...reliable. Thanks...keep us posted.
My boi is climbing the TH-camr ladder by getting a sponsorship. I'm so proud.
Nice man i love your video's i got a request also perhaps iff you want to do it sometime, but when you build a vivarium/ or plant terrarium is it possible to have a running waterfal inside of it iff ye wich kinds of plants love growing close to waterfals? its hard to find on internet sometime love iff you could do such a build someday. keep going on love the vids :)
The isopods were so cute jumping out of the cup and falling on there back then wiggling back into their feet
I came here to make this same comment! roly poly flop aroony
isopods are lovely
Isopods are the cute versions of roaches 😬😬😬😂😂😂😂😂
@@kittimcconnell2633 Maybe they're from the circus in "A Bugs Life"!
Isopods...the little creatures you never expected to love so much. I really like these dalmations. I want some rubber duckies too!! Scarlet would be awesome but the price tag! Yeesh!
It's always like you cut a slice of forest and put it in a container
That's the mindset I go into every build with. I try to make it look like I had nothing to do with it.
What about adding a diversity of fungi instead of insects?
When I was little, my maternal grandparents got a big globe terrarium that sat on a pedestal. They had me help them put it together and add the plants. I watched the plants grow overtime and loved it. Your videos on terrariums has woken that love. I can’t wait until I can make my own, but I first need to find a job so I can buy what I need. This terrarium looks very similar, minus all the bells and whistles, to what my grandparents had.
This came out beautifully!
Thanks Rachel!
Thanks for talking more about the types of bugs you use and why you use them. I think people are so quick to try to get rid of bugs, yet they play a huge role in the health of the planet, and we would be wise to learn more about them.
Exactly! :)
Stunning piece of living art. I went and liked at it in Amazon, from the link you provided, and tyo be honest, their displayed photo would never have encouraged me to give this item a second thought. Your work on the other hand makes the value of the product look much more in line with the price tag they affixed to it.
Wow I appreciate that!
@@SerpaDesign You always do great work. :)
Absolutely beautiful! I look forward to updates on this and can't wait to see those tiny orchids in bloom. Take care - Marcie
I'll be sure to update when they do!
Looks great! Cool product. I'm interested in the long term functionality. Look forward to an update!
Same, waiting on an update!
Tanner your video editing is really good! In particular I loved when you were listing off the ingredients of the substrate as they were being added.
I agree! Always a delicious experience lol
Wow! This turned out so picturesque! Your eye for detail in many spectrums is truely Awesome. Thanks for sharing ✌😎
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the build.
Big fan of how you add in clean up crew. I feel like theyre 1. Super cute, and 2. A fun teaching tool
Amazing piece of natural art. The orb looks fabulous.
You really have a gift. Absolutely beautiful. I could watch you all day
I agree that it is some of your best work. I think the extra horizontal room in an orb allows plants to take up extra room rather than press up against the glass as in normal terrariums. I'm excited to see what this looks like in a few months! While I do not like their biorb aquariums, I've been VERY interested in this product for some time. I was stoked to see your video showcasing it. As always, great video!!!
Thank you! I'm not too crazy about the aquariums either, but I feel like the AIR makes sense. I guess we'll see how it goes long-term though.
I am awed by your work and how stunning this finished masterpiece looks. As a marketing consultant, I just want to add that you are a fantastic resource in this field and I hope you will be well compensated for your time and expertise involved in future projects. You are amazing and should be a paid consultant for various companies.
I have been meaning to tell you for a while how much I enjoy your videos. Your authenticity and obvious enjoyment of everything you do are as much a pull as your projects. Thank you!
Tanner, to say you are talented is an understatement, this is gorgeously lush n perfect. No words can describe the beauty you created. Great job!
It's cool but not $380 cool
The price has been a "no go" for me as well. But when you really think about it: how much is a standard 45x45x60 cm exoterra when you count in lighting, automation, misting gear, ... And apparently in this case you only need one plug. So, while watching this video, I really decided to try and find a used one 😉
@@frankpierco8826 - yes, I have been trying to make something like this from scratch, but found that anything made from shaped acrylic is terribly expensive to begin with.
The price is probably good considering what you are getting - but still a lot of money to try to find.
Agreed, it looks like a great item especially for plant lovers, but the $380 is a bit steep.
utoh💰.
@@liepsan I agree looks brilliant but oh boy bit expensive
I HAVE TO SAY THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME ,IT TURN OUT BEAUTIFUL TIP TOP . YOU OUT DID YOUR SELF ON THIS JUST AMAZING ...👍👍👍
I have to say, this is my favorite terrarium you've ever built! It's so beautiful and natural looking.
Have to agree at this early age. The price is somewhat eye-watering though.
Stunning display, love the plants and def one of my faves so far. Cant wait to see the orchids in flower...that will be outstanding.
Okay I have to say I’ve watch every build video you have ever done. This is by far the best end result yet! So cool and so amazing monthly updates on this one would be great!
I recently visited California Academy of Sciences. It has a massive tropicaldome terrarium with trees, water and wildlife. It inspired me to make one of these ecospheres and you have been by far the most helpful in getting something like this started.
Very nice job! Please more mini orchids projects in future, those plants are incredible!
I used to grow full sized orchids, but since surviving cancer, I am no longer strong enough to handle them. I'm switching to miniatures, and this type of setup will be ideal for me. Drying out of small pots is a major problem, but not with this setup.
I will be starting with some miniature Phalaenopsis, and Dendrobium loddigessii. Might also try some terrestrials that grow in damp soil, like Acianthus and Corybas.
Hans Proebsting i wish you all the best, Hans and hope you will enjoy orchids for many-many years to come!

You might enjoy tiny gesneriads.
You are an amazing teacher and communicator. Your videos are extremely well-produced and you communicate your thoughts and ideas beautifully.
It looks gorges and the slow incline look amazing it truly look like a forest in their
*gorgeous
This is so beautiful. You did a great job on it. Can't wait to see up dates on it.
Agreed this is some of your best work. Stunning!
Why do I always see you on almost every video I watch
Carnivorous plants & gardening he probably watches lots of videos
can you make an update on this terrarium?
im especially curious about how the lamium is doing
The Orbchid 😆 loved this one. The pops of purple are so pretty!
Very beautiful. Like all of your videos, this has been something like a therapeutic experience. Awesome.
Oh my gosh, you’ve outdone yourself!! Just gorgeous! Seriously thinking about getting a bio-orb since I have a jewel orchid too that I really want to pamper. The orb is beautiful, and the finished look with the light shining out is amazing. Agree that future versions with an app to control light and humidity would be a huge plus.
Project turned out wonderful! This is my new favorite channel. ❤
You did an incredible job fitting everything in so it looks like a forrest and it really does look beautiful very very beautiful and l adore that you put tiny creators in there, they'll be loving such a safe and healthy place to live, again very beautiful work.
Really love this one, just looks incredible and natural 💚
Hey man! I would love to see you do a terrarium inspired by an abandoned building- nature retaking an urban environment. It would be an opportunity to use some different kinds of hardscape than what you typically use to recreate a natural environment- like brick, metal, or concrete!
Your videos are always inspiring as well as educational and easy to follow. So many people just blow through the effort that goes into artfully scaping their ‘rariums, but you show that for a real piece of art it takes time and a good eye. And boy, do you have an eye!
Keep being awesome!!
Yes it does take time! It's all about the details.
This is a really interesting product and you did a great job setting it up and landscaping it!
You are super talented. Great build and love the use of orchids
Gorgeously landscaped. Wow!
Awesome job !!! 3 or 4 other plant channels I watch have received this, but no one did anywhere near this kind of design work. Beautiful job as usual. You are one of a kind. Love watching and learning from you. Thanks for this great video :)
I really like this biorb. It is pretty calming to look at. Nice job and video
You did such a nice job I think if biOrb owes you some money!! All your work is brilliant but this one is, without a doubt, some of your best work. Kudos, VERY nicely done! Thank you for sharing. 😊❤
Beautiful. Can't wait for the flowers to bloom.
You are really talented!
Love your visions and work.
I beg you please do an update...I'm in total awe at your skills
This thing looks like an actual slice of nature, not just nature "style". You're an inspiration most of the time, and you certainly are on this one!
Yes! I really appreciate this comment.
You truly have a gift! Beautiful!
This turned out absolutely gorgeous! I think it's something I would be willing to invest in because of all the features and the easy setup. Thanks!! You're an artist. :)
So beautiful. Can’t wait to see the update. You’ve outdone yourself with this one!
Okay so I came across your channel today and I've watched probably 4 hours of it. It is so satisfying to see someone doing what they were so clearly meant to do and enjoy it. The topic is interesting, and I'm tempted to make some sort of terrarium, but it's watching somebody with expertise and passion that makes your channel so damn watchable. I am so happy that you found this hobby, and I'm even happier that you decided to share it.
This is definitely some of your best work I've seen so far. Thank you for allowing me to witness nature magic. I love your videos man, keep up the hard work!
Seriously some of your best work. It’s always so inspiring and makes me itch to create my own scapes.
You really did an amazing job on this project set up.The bugs surprised me but needed I guess.Even aquariums need sucker fish.I would like to see the " "OrbAir" have a setting for the time of day and color changes, like orange ,purple , blue. Or just a black light feature.This looks really great!
OMG, the isopods at the edge of the cup? "Should we? Shouldn't we?"
It's beautiful and one of your most beautiful works, tkank you for your videos.
I absolutely LOVE this... definitely going to put one together!!!!
Really love your videos! I always watch them while doing work as a way to relax, your voice is really soothing and there’s something so calming and satisfying about watching the design come together piece by piece. This one is especially beautiful and I feel like I’ve learned so much more about Orchids and the variation of their appearances. Your art is beautiful 💚
I thought that I had a little talent with plants- that is until I subscribed to this channel. Wow- so amazing!
You did a stunning job with this one! Definitely the best I've seen with this orb so far.
The company got what they wanted, a bunch of us REALLY want to get one.
Self managing humiodity and air flow sounds like a dream come true!!
I'm really looking forward to your follow up video in the future. You put A LOT of stuff in there! I'm iunterested in seeing how much trimming you're going to have to do and how much of it survives, and of course how the orchids look when they bloom :D
I like how you did an unbiased collab
Who dislikes these videos they are so relaxing... Sometimes I just turn them on to fall asleep to..... His voice is up there with Mr Rogers and Bob Ross to me
I did not expect it to be that big! How cool.
I really, really, really love that in black. It's on a wish list of mine. Beautiful! I'm in love.
Really love all that organic matter levelling to the base and coming through to a performance which is with beautiful arrangement and of course, looks great. Beautiful xx
Adding the Isopods was great as they moved on in, making themselves at home. Tumbling in as if they couldn't wait to check out the new living grounds.
that's a real tight setup Serpa. I like this one very much
Myyy... This is beautiful... Here in Europe I can only dream of getting all these plant species or substrates in a store... You guys really have everything... I just watch in awe.
Wow that is fancy! And you absolutely killed it, not just with the design either but the whole video was great. Your commentary was spot on and the filming and editing was beautiful, you really pulled out all the stops on this one dude!
Stunning... absolutely.
I'll be looking for one and studying your example for sure. I tapped the bell for an update
I just love your jobs, they are impressive. Keep it up, I will continue to watch and watch!
At first I thought you were adding too many plants, but after you finished it, I saw the overall look and was in love. I would very much like to have one or three of these in my home. A terrarium is the only way for me to have indoor plants as my cats tend to try munching on the greenery. That is not only bad for the plants but can be disastrous for the cats as well.
Can’t wait to see the follow up! I think this would be very good for those who can not offer the system proper care or, for those who want real plants in rooms that do not have good conditions to allow plants to survive
I want one so much.. you really have made it so appealing
I think you did a wonderful job. You made it look simple and a breeze to do. Looked like fun.
Wow! Will be looking at large glass vessels at yardsales in the spring. Amazing and beautiful.
That is so cool. I love the artistic look of it
You are so talented. I work a lot but one day when I get some time I'd love to make something like this for my mama, she's obsessed with all plants. She also has some really cool rocks that she found at spray lakes when she was younger that would go good in this type of set up. I would prob buy a different orb thingy though, while it is beautiful it is way too expensive for being made fully from plastic. Anyone else shocked when they saw how much it is ? 😂
I like the orb its bigger and more space to play with. Cant wait to see those orchids bloom
Stunning! Love how the light cast plant shadows onto the wall. You make it look so effortless putting all the plants together. I would have to rearrange multiples times to fit it to look right. That being said, I agree your end result might be the best looking one yet!
I for one completely enjoy your “ instructional” videos, even though you said you hate following instructions 😂😂.
Absolutely gorgeous, Tanner!
Top job, it looks so natural, as for price, it is a clever piece of kit, compare it to an aquarium set up and I think it's about right!
Absolutely beautiful design. I've been thinking about creating my own biosphere. I work one day a week at the greenhouses for the store I work for, to gain more knowledge about plants and how to care for them. My love of horticulture grows everyday. Thank you for your inspiration on these beautiful pieces.
I will enjoy watching the progress of yours. The almost $2000 price to buy one in Australia is a little too much. You have encouraged me to try closed terrariums and I have one that I started in November last year and it's doing really well, thank you.
I know I’m late watching but had to comment. This is so beautiful and now my little mind is going crazy with ideas.
Very beautiful. Nice work! 👍😎
Beautifully done. They must be blown away by this... I know I am. 👍
This makes me want to shrink up and have a good wander.😊
How long does it take for these tiny orchids to bloom? I know it can take a while for the orchids you see in homes and greenhouses. In any event, I love the mosses and ferns just as much.❤
This truly is a gorgeous orb/bio orb. 🍃🌱🍃
Thank you and I sure hope they do! It all depends and there's really no way to tell. I got some a few months back and they bloomed almost immediately, but who knows with this batch.
Awsum video really cool product intrested to see how it preforms in the future. As for your selection of plants and hardscapes absolutely stunning as usal. You always make it look as if it was lifted from the forest floor
I love the video. I've been standoffish on the edge about this product since but after seeing how it turned out for you I'm gonna get one. Thanks for taking the time to provide details about how to set it up, changes you made and especially the plants used because I'm hoping to use a few of them also.
Beautiful work. Very inspiring.
Thank you ! Like this and it is good composition . Natural art!
Incredible work as always. I can't wait to see the update video!
You have the perfect voice for a documentary or movie narrator
Thats a work of art mate. Its like a painter getting supplied with a canvas though, as you've got to be an artist to get a finish like that. Nice one.
It looks like a little world those springtails and isopods are in paradise
I feel like this is super cool, and was totally ready to buy one.. Checks amazon, $380... :[
I am sad
Congrats on getting PR! Doing big things!!
This might be my absolute favorite of all your terrariums. It's SO beautiful, and it's just begging to have an adorable gecko (or something similar) living in it! I'm jealous of your skills :)
