Find a productProduct description
This 5 kg substrate is intended for humid and tropical terrariums where high humidity must be maintained. It suits keepers of arboreal and terrestrial reptiles and amphibians who want a loose, moisture-retaining base for both animals and live plants.
Why it matters
- Moisture retention: the blend is formulated to slow surface drying between misting sessions.
- Built-in microfauna: natural additives provide shelter and food for cleanup organisms such as springtails and enchytraeids, which work even at lower humidity.
- Loose, airy structure: the light texture supports root development and air circulation in the substrate.
- Ready to use: no mixing or added fertilizer is required; moisten lightly before placing it in the enclosure.
