Excellent for Bioactive Terrariums

Exo Terra Plantation Soil provides an excellent foundation for naturalistic and bioactive terrarium setups.

Its combination of short coconut fibres and coco-peat particles creates a balanced substrate structure that helps retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.

The improved soil aeration promotes healthy plant root development and provides a suitable environment for beneficial organisms such as springtails and isopods.

These organisms help break down decaying organic matter and contribute to a healthier terrarium ecosystem.

For advanced bioactive setups, Plantation Soil can be combined with other suitable substrate ingredients to create a customized growing medium.

Natural Humidity Control

Maintaining appropriate humidity is essential for many tropical reptiles and amphibians.

Exo Terra Plantation Soil naturally absorbs and retains moisture, gradually releasing it into the terrarium environment.

This helps:

• Maintain suitable humidity levels
• Support healthy shedding
• Reduce excessive substrate drying
• Provide moisture for tropical plants
• Create comfortable conditions for burrowing animals

Humidity requirements vary by species, so regular monitoring with a reliable hygrometer is recommended.

Specially Processed for Terrarium Use

Exo Terra Plantation Soil undergoes a careful manufacturing process to produce a clean, consistent substrate.

Processing Includes:

1. Grinding natural coconut husk fibre.
2. Sieving to achieve an appropriate particle mixture.
3. Triple machine washing to remove residual salts.
4. Machine drying.
5. Heat treatment to reduce bacterial contamination.

The result is a natural coconut fibre substrate suitable for tropical terrarium environments.

Directions for Use

1. Remove the desired amount of Plantation Soil from its packaging.
2. If using a compressed brick, gradually add water according to the package instructions until the substrate expands.
3. Spread the prepared substrate evenly throughout the terrarium.
4. Adjust the depth according to your animal's digging or burrowing requirements.
5. Add live plants, hides, leaf litter, and other terrarium decorations as desired.
6. Mist as necessary to maintain appropriate moisture levels.
7. Remove waste and replace contaminated substrate when required.

Note: Avoid keeping the substrate excessively wet or waterlogged unless required for a specific habitat setup.
