SUSTAINABILITY & SCIENCE

How The Closed-Loop Broadcast Works

We rescue discarded CRT televisions, safely decommission high-voltage tubes, and install a perfectly balanced living water cycle behind the glass.

01

Vintage TV Rescue

Authentic 70s and 80s cabinets are safely de-energized, non-functional electronics responsibly recycled, and internal chassis sealed with marine silicone.

• 100% De-charged & Safe
02

4-Layer Strata Base

Volcanic lava gravel provides root drainage, activated carbon scrubs impurities, and bio-active peat feeds living moss and lemon button ferns for years.

• Self-Cleaning Bio-Filter
03

Continuous Rain Cycle

Moisture evaporates from moss, condenses against the cool curved TV glass faceplate, and trickles back down as simulated rain. Rarely needs watering!

• Water Every 3-6 Months
04

Direct Climate Transit

Suspended in high-density foam cushioning with 72-hour thermal heat or ice packs. Protected by our 100% Live On Arrival Plant Guarantee.

• Guaranteed Safe Arrival
DAILY BROADCAST SCHEDULE

Effortless Care & Maintenance Routine

TV Terrariums are engineered to thrive with virtually zero effort. Follow this simple broadcast schedule to keep your miniature living world lush for years.

Lighting Schedule

6 - 8 Hours Daily

Use the built-in full-spectrum LED light bar or place in bright indirect room light. Avoid direct harsh sunlight through windows.

Water Frequency

Once Every 3-6 Months

If the screen looks completely dry and moss feels crisp, open the top maintenance port and apply 4-5 spritzes of distilled water.

Ideal Climate

65°F - 78°F (18°C - 25°C)

Normal comfortable indoor temperatures. Keep away from direct heating radiator blasts or cold air conditioning drafts.

Occasional Prune

Twice A Year

Ferns love the high humidity and will grow slowly. Simply snip overgrown fronds with the included miniature curved precision shears.

Includes printed retro 1970s TV Owner's Care Manual with every shipment.

The 1974 Console

“My TV Terrarium arrived during a cold snap and the insulated heat pack kept the moss completely vibrant and humid. It’s now the most talked-about piece in our living room. Truly mesmerizing to watch the tiny droplets condense and rain back down!”

The 1984 Space Portable

“I keep the 80s portable on my home office desk. The amber night-light mode creates such an incredible ambiance when I'm working late. Zero maintenance—I haven't watered it in two months and it's flourishing.”

The DIY Broadcast Kit

“Building the terrarium using the vintage-style instruction manual was the most fun weekend project we've done in years. The plants were fresh, healthy, and the restored TV casing is top tier.”
