    About Our Products

    About how much does a Florea cost?

    A Florea typically starts at around $1,260 USD, but the final price may vary depending on the size and specific configuration you need.

    Important: Florea is NOT a module or an add-on: It is a complete, smart terrarium that includes the structure, lighting, irrigation system, ventilation, and all components fully integrated into a single, cohesive ecosystem.

    Factors that can affect the final price:

    • Custom dimensions tailored to your specific species
    • Specialized materials (tempered glass, high-quality acrylic)
    • Specific technical configuration (lighting type, heater power, climate control needs)

    For an exact quote, we offer a free consultation where we evaluate exactly what your specific project requires.

    I want to know how much mine would cost
    Are Florea and Nova better than other automation products I’ve seen?

    Great question. Here’s the real difference, explained simply:

    Most products give you «separate pieces». We give you a «system that actually communicates with itself».

    Imagine this:

    • One product controls temperature
    • Another controls humidity
    • Another controls lighting
    • None of them know what the others are doing

    The result? They contradict each other, waste energy, and your terrarium never truly reaches its ideal balance.

    With Florea / Nova:

    • Everything communicates in real time
    • Temperature KNOWS what humidity is doing
    • Lighting ADAPTS to what the plants actually need

    It’s a team working in harmony — not individual devices fighting each other.

    The magic isn’t in the parts — it’s in how everything works together.

    Explain this in my case
    I’ve seen modules that claim to control many things — how are they different?

    Here’s the honest truth: controlling ≠ optimizing.

    Any module can simply turn things «on and off». The real difference is «how» and «when» those actions happen.

    A real example:
    Let’s say a module controls temperature and humidity separately:

    • If temperature drops → the heater turns on
    • If humidity drops → the misting system turns on

    The problem: The heater automatically LOWERS humidity.

    The result? An endless loop of corrections that never sync properly.

    With Florea / Nova:

    • If temperature drops → the system adjusts both the heater and the misting at the same time
    • Result: Perfect temperature WITHOUT sacrificing humidity

    It’s not just about doing it — it’s about doing it the smart way. ✨

    What if I already have some equipment?

    Perfect! Nova was designed with that in mind.

    The advantage of Nova: it doesn’t replace what already works — it makes it smarter.

    • Your existing heaters → Nova programs them more efficiently
    • Your current irrigation system → Nova optimizes how it’s used
    • Your existing lights → Nova creates natural, balanced cycles

    Think of Nova as the “brain” that coordinates everything you already have, so your devices work together instead of independently.

    Florea goes beyond control — it creates and sustains a professional-grade microclimate, without requiring your intervention. 🦎

    Do I really need that much technology for my terrarium?

    Let’s put it this way: it’s not more technology — it’s less worry.

    Without intelligent automation:

    • You wake up at 3 AM to check the temperature
    • You adjust things manually four times a day
    • You worry every time you leave home
    • You spend more on electricity due to inefficiencies

    With Florea / Nova:

    • You sleep peacefully through the night
    • You can leave for the weekend without stress
    • Your terrarium maintains perfect conditions 24/7
    • You save energy because everything is optimized

    It’s not a luxury — it’s time and peace of mind you get back to enjoy what you love.

    What if I start with something basic and upgrade later?

    We love that mindset — that’s exactly why Nova exists.

    The smart path:

    1. Start with Nova → Automate the essentials with technology that grows with you
    2. Want more later? → Upgrade to Florea without losing your investment (60% of your Nova cost is credited)
    3. If Nova is enough → Perfect. You already have a system built to last for years

    The common mistake: buying “temporary solutions” that become useless over time. With Nova, no matter your path — nothing goes to waste. 🔄

    Why does Florea have 7 sensors while Nova only has 2? Aren’t more sensors better?

    Great question! The difference isn’t “more vs. fewer” — it’s specialization vs. essentials. «especialización vs esencial».

    Florea — 7 Specialized Sensors

    • 3 temperature sensors (thermal gradients)
    • Air humidity (atmospheric control)
    • Soil moisture (intelligent irrigation)
    • UVB sensor (precise calibration)
    • Water level (auto-refill system)

    Nova — 2 Essential Sensors

    • Temperature + humidity (core monitoring)
    • Soil moisture (basic smart irrigation)

    Florea is like having a scientific lab. Nova is like having a reliable assistant. Each one is designed for different needs. 🔬

    Are Florea and Nova just “add-ons” or “accessories” for terrariums?

    NO. This is a very common misunderstanding. Florea and Nova are NOT accessories..

    Florea is a fully integrated intelligent ecosystem designed from the ground up. It includes the structure, lighting, irrigation, ventilation, and all systems working together as a single, coherent unit. It is a complete terrarium, not an add-on.

    Nova is a modular automation system that turns existing terrariums into intelligent ones. It’s not an “accessory” — it’s a control center with its own sensors and decision-making capabilities.

    An accessory helps. A brain controls everything. That’s what Florea and Nova are: the intelligence that makes the terrarium think for itself.

    What is the REAL difference between Florea and Nova?

    Florea and Nova do not compete with each other. They are designed for different needs.:

    FLOREA – Fully Integrated Smart Habitat

    • Everything integrated: structure, sensors, controllers, and automation in a single system.
    • Makes decisions on its own and adjusts the environment without your intervention
    • Detects patterns and acts before problems occur
    • Continuously optimizes the climate for professional-level stability
    • 7 high-precision sensors for extreme accuracy
    • Ideal if you want a habitat that literally takes care of itself.

    NOVA – Smart Automation Module

    • Installs into your existing terrarium
    • Responds immediately when values go up or down
    • Follows the rules you set, precise and reliable.
    • 2 essential sensors for stable control
    • Perfect if you already have a terrarium and want to make it smart

    Florea is a smart ecosystem. Nova is a smart controller that follows your rules

    Technology and Operation

    Does Florea really have “AI,” or is it just marketing?

    Florea uses Adaptive Intelligence, which goes far beyond simple programming. It’s the difference between a robot that repeats movements and an assistant that learns from experience..

    Think of it this way:

    A basic system is like an alarm clock. It goes off exactly when you set it, no matter what happened last night.
    Florea is like a personal assistant. It knows you stayed up late, sees that you’re in deep sleep, and decides to postpone the alarm 15 minutes so you rest better. That’s the difference.

    How does a Florea terrarium apply this?

    • Sees patterns you don’t notice: Learns that on Saturdays, when there’s more sun in the room, the temperature rises earlier. It then activates ventilation sooner that day.
    • Understands your inhabitants: If a plant is using more water this week, it adjusts irrigation automatically because it detects the soil drying faster.
    • Prevents rather than reacts: It doesn’t wait for humidity to drop to turn on the humidifier. It notices it’s dropping faster than usual and acts to maintain the perfect level.

    In short: Florea isn’t “smart” just because it has WiFi. It’s smart because it observes, understands, and makes decisions to maintain perfect balance, freeing you completely from micro-management.

    Why doesn’t Nova have a UVB sensor? Isn’t it important?

    The UVB sensor is indeed critical — but only when it’s correctly positioned and calibrated..

    The problem with UVB sensors in modules: If the user places the sensor too close to the light, it can burn and give incorrect readings. If it’s too far, it won’t measure what the animal actually receives.

    In Florea, the UVB sensor is integrated and factory-calibrated in the optimal position. In Nova, we omit this sensor because:

    1. Proper installation is required for meaningful readings
    2. It’s easy to damage with incorrect placement
    3. Adding it would significantly increase the price without guaranteeing accurate measurements

    We recommend using Nova with high-quality UVB lights,or even better, upgrading to Florea for precise, smart UVB control.

    Is the app complicated? What platforms does it work on?

    Not at all. The app is designed to be extremely intuitive. If you know how to use WhatsApp, you can use our app.

    App features:

    • Visual dashboard-style interface
    • Step-by-step guided setup
    • Push notifications when something needs attention
    • Condition history (Florea: 30 days, Nova: 24 hours)
    • Manual control from anywhere

    Available on: iOS and Android

    No subscriptions: The app is 100% free, with no monthly fees.

    What happens if there’s a power outage or no internet?

    Both systems work perfectly offline.

    No power: Both products have persistent memory. When power returns, they continue exactly where they left off.

    No internet / WiFi: The systems keep running with their local programming. You’ll only lose remote monitoring and notifications.

    Florea includes built-in surge protection. Nova has basic protection as well. As with any electronic equipment, we recommend using a voltage regulator for both.

    Purchase and Delivery

    Is shipping really free? Are there any hidden fees?

    Yes! Shipping is 100% FREE within the U.S. and many international locations. 🚚

    • Exact dimensions required for the species
    • Specific technical configuration (heater power, type of lighting)
    • Special materials for humid vs. dry habitats
    • Additional systems like high-power misting or specialized water pumps

    Nova DOES have a fixed price ($230 USD) because it’s a standardized product. Florea is a personalized ecosystem, so a consultation is required to provide an accurate quote.
