Exo Terra Equatorial Forest Floor Substrate
Exo Terra Equatorial Forest Floor Substrate –
A multi layer substrate that allows you to recreate the forest floor as found in natural equatorial forests. One of the most distinctive features of the equatorial forest ecosystem.
It usually consists of two major layers;
- Top layer mainly consisting of fresh leaf litter
- Base layer consists of rich organic matter – usually decomposed leaves & wood
Top layer consists of sun dried decorative Ardisia leaves from a sustainable resource. With this decorative top layer you can actually create the soft floor covering found in natural equatorial forests.
The top layer covers the actual substrate underneath to facilitate its moisture retention and then prevent the soil from drying out. 100% natural, ecological and biodegradable substrate with great hygroscopic properties.
Water retention, natural rooting hormones and anti-fungal properties also promote plant growth in your terrarium.
