Zoo Med Tropical Bioactive Substrate Kit

• Provides the perfect foundation for your bioactive habitat.
• The all-natural North American sphagnum moss prevents soil compaction and slowly releases moisture to help create a stable, high-humidity environment.
• Catappa leaves provide shelter and nutrients for your clean-up crew.
• Just add a clean up crew and live plants!

The term “bioactive” is used to describe a miniature ecosystem created in a terrarium or vivarium. In a functional bioactive habitat, small invertebrates (aka clean-up crew) break down waste from your pet to make nutrients available for live plants to consume. This incredible living network forms a balance that can reduce maintenance of your habitat while enhancing natural appearance. The right substrate mix is critical to a successful bioactive habitat. The contents of this kit were carefully selected to help your pets, plants, and clean-up crew collectively flourish.
