Jungle Forest Substrate – Jungle Forest Substrate 5L

Jungle Forest Substrate is a 5 L natural substrate modelled on tropical rainforest soil. It is intended for keepers of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates that require high humidity and a naturalistic, layered enclosure setup. It can be used as a leaf-litter layer in tropical and bioactive vivaria.

Why it matters

• Moisture retention: the mix holds water and slows evaporation, which helps keep humidity stable between misting or watering.
• Airflow: the structure of the substrate supports aeration, which the manufacturer links to a reduced risk of mould.
• Organic composition: the made-up of 100% natural, organic components supports beneficial microorganisms and helps stabilise the microclimate.
• Biodegradable: the material is biodegradable and can be combined with a drainage layer and a microfauna layer.
