biOrb AIR 60 - Full Step by Step Tutorial Terrarium Scape

[@mann1zee]

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 ❤❤

[@bluemanpaul]

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

[@adamchatwin2038]

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

[@AssassinGreen]

Outtakes are great, one reason why I'd love to be an actor, funny.

[@Loveofpets]

It's beautiful!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@sarasinger5232]

Thanks for the insight. Using mine for growing miniature orchids!

[@wandaoshiro2014]

Your terrarium turned out just beautifully & looked so easy to do. My favorite is your orchid. Hugs from Hawaii to your dog, Tommy.🐶

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Wanda! Hugs from England 😊

[@Evil_Genius_888]

That looks crazy good. I was skeptical in the beginning, but the spikey really sold it. Nice!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@uomorana71]

you could add some isopods and springtails

[@Karatekidca1]

It looks beautiful

[@Dnorob1]

Excellent again George

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@vinniejudilla3921]

Really nice George. Hi Ray and Jill. I too like the watermelon.👍👍👍

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Vinnie 👍

[@sharonbendtsen2973]

Love the outtakes. You generally make it seam so easy

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Sharon 🙏

[@vishalkore2375]

Nice video n great work 💓💓💓 It's pretty

[@myzri3557]

I look forward to watching you rescape and grow with this new part of the hobby

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@michaelrojas7240]

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!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Michael! Appreciate the comments 🙏👍

[@islandgirl7922]

That is simply beautiful.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@karljoseph2083]

Very beautiful another great project George 👌

[@JNS512]

I work for an Aquarium store and I recently recieved one of these as a gift for my birthday. I was considering doing a KZbin 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 KZbin 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.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

You should still go for it! 👍

[@amiransari9746]

Awesome video 👌👌👌

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@KimCarmenWalsh]

Beautiful!! Thank you 💚

[@StepbyStep-biOrb]

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

[@cutinwizard1435]

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.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@GlassGroveAquascaping]

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

[@johnfloydman7735]

Fantastic job George , hope to see more air scaping ✌🙏

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate 👍

[@ProfessorAquaria]

Stunning piece of Kit! Becoming ever more popular.

[@Handygrrl]

Gorgeous!

[@marymccannon5610]

A much needed video and it is great. However, I wonder whether the mist solution could be replaced with RO water.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Yes 👍

[@AssassinGreen]

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.

[@ejclydegod]

Great Video! I would love to see an update of this Biorb.

[@christianpelkey8491]

terrariums are so similar to an aquascape. but it looks like an entire different world. itd be amazing to see you setup a paludarium.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Christian 👍

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

My favorite is the watermelon peperomia! Gorgeous set-up! Thank you for sharing! Cherri-O!

[@terrywilliams5810]

Great video George, really informative, thinking of getting one myself, thanks for sharing.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate

[@STINGX84]

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

[@deantucker4860]

Great idea thanks again George!! Looking forward to doing mine

[@mscalucas]

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.

[@sunnycal2293]

I was thinking the same. Would be a beautiful Mother's Day gift.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Christine 👍

[@toddratson7526]

I love this George! I might have to try getting out of the water...

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers Todd 👍

[@dylanspargo8993]

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...

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Dylan 👍

[@darrylmoore5847]

Looks great.

[@diannebozzy8988]

It's beautiful!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@bryanambition]

SUCH a great video!! But I have to ask--where did you get the biOrb AIR in the UK?

[@SiHill80]

I would love one of these but they come with a surprisingly hefty price tag

[@cratarata2278]

They aren’t that expensive

[@revenant8331]

Cra ta Ra ta £350 for one is relatively expensive for a terrarium without any materials to scape it for, most people at least.

[@cratarata2278]

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

[@revenant8331]

Cra ta Ra ta where, everywhere I look for a new one is over £200

[@cratarata2278]

Dafydd Edwards depends where you live

[@steeltoeboots9591]

Awesome video do they sell these in the US also?

[@chadkittleson5447]

This was a fun change-up. Keep up the good work.

[@codyglover3915]

Looks great 👍🏼 may have to get one 😬

[@pavolsztankay7383]

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.

[@scapesessions9069]

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.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@stevejohnson2434]

Love it does it come in larger sizes?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

At the moment this is the only size

[@GiantCake]

Love it! This feels really refreshing to watch. Adds to the variety of the channel

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@ShawnHineidi]

Beautiful Terrarium. I might get me one of those! Great Video George!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Shawn

[@rodeoscowboy9293]

Love your work

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@Ritaxbaby]

My favorite plant was the pelia :) It is simple yet beautiful.

[@robertlowen4807]

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?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

We will see... 👍

[@mrpandabearrr]

thats pretty well done

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@jlrensOnline]

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!

[@NathanSidF]

Been waiting for this project for so long! Looks great, George!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Sid 👍

[@Davidova]

Excellent . That will be very interesting after one -two months We need to wait )

[@inessilva5936]

Orchids! Orchids! 😍😍 ♥️

[@GiselleSteaman]

Still trying to get one of these.

[@Cgraseck]

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

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks so much for the feedback! Really love to learn more and excited to start my terrarium journey here. 👍🙏

[@alirahi8053]

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

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks and yes 👍🙏

[@Mars_Monkey]

Ahahaha... excellent George! Looks beautiful and good ending.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Max 👍

[@martineclaeys7335]

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 😍

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks! Yes, I’ll be giving updates 👍

[@CosmicDigs]

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.

[@aessniper]

Very beautiful Goerge! Waiting for an update already, cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Alberto 👍

[@livingart2576]

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.

[@roshanjohnson8849]

This is amazing!! Can you please show the operation and the complete feature run-down once it is in the GFS gallery?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Yes 👍

[@gangstamum]

As with any type of plant or floral arrangement.... An easy thing to keep in mind ..use a Thriller, a Spiller, and Filler.

[@btdarterschannel112]

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! 😀🌺🌱👍

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate! Big learning curve for me 👍

[@Juice27FromGA]

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.

[@mollychrisa1]

WOW thanks 🥰👩‍🏫🎬🎊🎶😊🌿🌺

[@mafurock33]

I would love to see an update of how your biorb terrariums are doing.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I donated my 60 but have a new 30 AIR to set up soon… 😃

[@mafurock33]

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

[@andrescuston]

excellent video .. I wish that in Colombia I could buy one of this would be a good gift for my wife greetings.

[@manolingz]

i was waiting for this, and very informative video. can you give more info on the Selaginellas you used?

[@edwiser]

Like the bloopers at the end. 😀

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

👍

[@hawksight200]

hi there keep rocking the uploads. just a quick question since we have lost the green machine in the North West UK. where would you suggest we now shop. apart from online as the chat in the shop is what I miss

[@Nitidus]

Oh, what happened to them? Loved their KZbin vids

[@hawksight200]

@@Nitidus I don't know but I guess they could not keep up with online business

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks! Aquarium Gardens and Scaped Nature are two aquascaping specialists but not local to the north west I’m afraid. It was a shame to see TGM shut. If you read their Google reviews they are quite mixed. Questionable customer service at times from the comments. ADA is a tough brand to market, even in more affluent areas. They were the sole ADA UK distributor but I didn’t see many (if any other shops selling ADA). Not sure why that was.

[@hawksight200]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios just goes to show if you look after your customer they will look after your business cheers for the help for I will look into these suppliers.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

You’re welcome 👍

[@frankvanrensburg2921]

Does the Biorb Air have a heater for tropical plants in a cold winter apartment?

[@lovenest8778]

Nice...👍

[@TheCuz117]

Looks great George! I really like it and I want one now

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Ha! 👍💚

[@shesellsfish]

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 😂 👍💕👍

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Ha ha! Thanks SRL. Always look forward to your comments. 🙏💚

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

I think I will install a biOrb at home!

[@stockraker1690]

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)

[@AquascapingGreatness]

Ok, so I need one now. Thanks for that ;)

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

😂

[@vdanee79]

you never fail to impress George... is that Pelia or Pilea at 5:47?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I think Pilea

[@lindagood3091]

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? :-)

[@ernestdeak8402]

Love it George, great video! Are you sure it is called substrate and not soil? 😀

[@teenagescaper6753]

Do you have merchandise, if not have you considered it 👍

[@--Paws--]

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.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks for the advice! 👍

[@azhairving]

So beautiful, I believe I like that tiny moss you put out front.

[@BMWFTW123]

[@BMWFTW123]

George Farmer nooo it’s not that! She says I pay more attention to my tank than her 😬

[@Laurie_in_Maine]

"I'll read the instructions properly when I get home..." DID YOU? :) HOW do the "controls" work? Fan is so quiet wasn't sure it was working. Do you need to add anything to the grey filter you drop in next to the liquid reservoir? Is the tab next to the power plug-in the only "control"? Other than unplugging it.

[@burudice6281]

Also moss makes the biorb look realistic and more texture

Looks great.. Show us the pre-made or ready scaped biorb air that are at the scaped nature store : )))

[@ruimingchua3913]

Hi, how long will the orchid be alive in the biorb terrarium? And if we want to replot the orchid, is that we have to take out the whole thing and replot? Cant just replot the orchid right?
