Intratlantic Inc. are all about indoor terrariums to spruce up your home decor. You might recognize these whimsical designs as they are using Tierra Viva balls that can last up to 4 years.
Intratlantic Inc. shares some history pertaining to the to the balls that absorb water:
Although this product is new to floriculture, a simpler form of it has existed in agriculture for decades. In countries of the Middle East and others where rain is scarce and availability of fresh water is limited, the product was dispersed onto the fields so that when it did rain, the excess water would be absorbed and retained for dryer days.
The product has developed drastically over the years allowing for absorbtion of nutrients as well as water, which makes it a complete substitute to soil and water. The material is also completely biodegradable and thus environmentally friendly.
