Molly's Aroid Mix is a carefully crafted, soil-free substrate designed to support tropical plants and bioactive enclosures. Its chunky, well-aerated texture provides excellent drainage and moisture retention, making it perfect for tropical plants and isopods alike. The mix includes organic materials that break down slowly, creating an ideal environment for isopods to thrive by offering places to burrow and explore. Used alongside Molly’s Succulent Mix, it creates a versatile foundation that supports varied moisture zones, essential for a balanced ecosystem in your terrarium.
When combined with a drainage layer, Molly’s Aroid Mix becomes an even more effective habitat foundation. Adding leaf litter on top helps maintain natural humidity, while blonde sphagnum moss provides soft, moist areas that isopods love for molting and breeding. This layered setup creates a well-rounded substrate that keeps your isopods healthy and active.
Key Features:
Moisture Control with Aeration: Retains moisture while ensuring excess water flows to the drainage layer, keeping your habitat balanced.
Natural, Enrichment-Rich Substrate: Mimics forest-floor conditions, promoting natural behaviors in isopods and supporting a dynamic bioactive setup.
Beneficial Microbes for Health: Enriched with bacteria and fungi to maintain a healthier, nutrient-rich habitat.
