FAQs

What type of enclosures is this substrate suitable for? Because this substrate holds a significant amount of moisture to support living plants and microorganisms, it is best used inside glass or plastic terrariums. It is not recommended for wooden vivariums, as the sustained moisture may cause the wood to warp or rot over time.

Do I need a drainage layer with this substrate? Yes, to prevent the substrate from becoming waterlogged, it is highly recommended to use an adequate drainage layer, such as expanded clay balls, separated by a permeable mesh membrane at the base of your terrarium.

What kind of animals is this best suited for? This bioactive forest substrate is perfect for reptiles and amphibians that thrive in humid, tropical, or woodland environments, such as Crested Geckos, Day Geckos, Dart Frogs, and Tree Frogs.
