ONE
TWO
create your own
baiosphere in
three
simple steps.
First things first -
things you need.
Desert Oasis
Probably, the most
common way of planting
a Baiosphere is to create
a thicket of different
tropical plants.
> Plants
Plants like tillandsias, mini
orchids or different sorts of
moss are suited best.
*
> Soil
Good rain forest soil is
loose and keeps the mois-
ture. In this way it supports
a strong root growth.
> Hardscape
Especially our Amazonas
Rocks or our driftwood
emphasizes the tropical
character of your
rainforest.
> Enough Soil
Choose the substrate
suitable for the biotope
you want to design.
> Expanded Clay Balls
as Drainage
Expanded clay serves
as a great drainage as
it absorbs the moisture
and releases it slowly
again. That’s why
theres always a perfect
soil climate in your
Baiosphere without
waterlogging.
> Plants of Your
Choice
Furthermore you may
choose your plants
according to the biotope
you want to design.
> Scaping Tools
You can try your best
with a long spoon and
barbecue tongs.
Ideally you use our
special Baiosphere
Scaping Tools to reach
even the remotest
corners of your biotope.
> Spray Bottle with
Water
Use soft (rain-) water to
keep the glass of your
Baiosphere clear.
Choose the
Biotope you’d like
to design.
Rainforest
The fascination of carni-
vorous plants on the
windowsill can usually only
be enjoyed only for a very
short time – not with the
Baiosphere!
> Plants
Plants like sundew, the
venus flytrap or peat moss
grow and thrive by the
unique microclimate.
*
> Soil
Especially important is the
use of special acidic carniv-
orous soil, otherwise the
plants will do a bunk.
> Hardscape
Cleverly arranged,
branched wood, like our
Muddy-Moorwood, intensi-
fies the unique atmosphere
of an apparently untouched
moor landscape.
*
You can find more species
in our plant directory on
page 20 - 21.
Marshland
A biotope where you can
discover the true idyll and
the incredible variety of
succulents.
> Plants
Desert and rock garden
plants such as the mistletoe
cactus, thick-leafed plants
or many different hawor-
thia variations offer almost
unlimited possibilities of
design.
*
> Soil
Use only loose, high quality
succulent soil and not pure
sand. This would condense
the substrate too much and
lead to rot.
> Hardscape
Stones in different sizes,
like our Fata Morgana
Rocks, can be wonderfully
combined into miniature
mountain ranges and give
the desert an unique touch.
In the end, the Baiosphere
is similar to a shared flat
just with plants.
That’s why it’s important
to choose them just
equally, as they probably
can occur together in
nature, so that every plant
has got similar needs.
Many plant
varieties, special
substrate mixtures,
fertilizer and also
various hardscape
for the design of
your Baiosphere
can be found in
our online shop!
