Rare Plant Haven Terrarium and Vivarium Substrate Soil (1 gal/ 4q.)
The Rare Plant Haven Terrarium and Vivarium Substrate combines a perfect blend of several types of media, each contributing unique benefits for plant growth and terrarium sustenance:
1. Coco fiber: Provides excellent water retention while promoting aeration, helping maintain moisture levels without becoming waterlogged.
2. Tree fern fiber: Enhances drainage and aeration, allowing roots to breathe and reducing the risk of root rot.
3. Worm castings: Rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, they enhance soil fertility and promote healthy plant growth.
4. Rice husks: Improve soil structure and drainage, while also adding organic matter as they decompose.
5. Horticultural charcoal: Helps improve drainage, absorbs excess moisture, and provides a habitat for beneficial microbes.
6. Sphagnum moss: Retains moisture effectively and adds acidity to the substrate, which can benefit certain acid-loving plants.
7. Orchid bark: Provides structure and aeration, preventing compaction and allowing for proper root development.
Together, these components create a balanced substrate that supports healthy root systems, promotes moisture retention, and enhances nutrient availability, making it ideal for various rare plants in your Rare Plant Haven.
