DOOA TERRA BASE (Made of Clay)

*This product is not qualified for free shipping.

Recreate the magic of the rainforest in your living space. The DOOA Terra Base transforms how you cultivate epiphytic plants indoors. Designed for orchids, ferns and mosses that naturally cling to rainforest tree trunks, this handcrafted clay vessel recreates the cool, humid conditions these species need to thrive. When filled with water, its porous ceramic body slowly releases moisture across the surface while evaporative cooling maintains ideal temperatures for your collection.

Main Features

The Terra Base's cylindrical design mimics a tree trunk while its pottery construction provides functional benefits beyond aesthetics. Water seeps gradually through tiny pores in the unglazed clay, keeping attached plants hydrated without oversaturation. This continuous moisture release creates the environment that epiphytes require, eliminating guesswork from tropical plant care.

Available in two sizes to suit different spaces and collections, the Terra Base integrates seamlessly with DOOA Neo Glass Air tanks. The Terra Base 160 suits compact displays featuring one or two favorite species, while the Terra Base 230 offers more surface area for diverse arrangements. Both sizes pair perfectly with their corresponding Neo Glass Air dimensions for humidity retention.

Benefits

The DOOA Terra Base offers several advantages for epiphyte cultivation:

• Natural humidity regulation: Porous ceramic maintains consistent moisture levels without electrical systems or complex maintenance routines.
• Temperature control: Evaporative cooling from the clay surface creates the cool environment preferred by cloud forest species.
• Versatile planting options: The design works beautifully with DOOA Terra Line for securing orchids and DOOA Wabi-Kusa Mats for moss coverage.
• Authentic ADA innovation: This is genuine Aqua Design Amano craftsmanship, not a knockoff imitation, developed by Takashi Amano and available through AFA as the authorized North American distributor.
• Complete system compatibility: The Terra Base integrates with the complete DOOA collection for comprehensive epiphyte care.

The Terra Base represents the quality and attention to detail ADA is known for. We're proud to bring these authentic products to hobbyists across North America.

*To grow moss and ferns successfully, it is highly recommended that you keep the Terra Base inside DOOA neo glass air tanks with glass cover to create suitable humidity conditions if you are in an area with low ambient humidity.

* The Aquarium Tank shown in the image is sold separately.
