Waldhumus

Our deciduous forest humus comes from controlled regional mining. The proportion of more than 30% fermented wood and at least 10% leaves offer all primary decomposers a good source of food. Our forest humus is the perfect start for your terrarium and offers a balanced pH value. Forest humus should be the main component of the soil substrate in the terrarium as soon as animals such as isopods, centipedes, snails, worms, springtails and many other species are to be used. Our sterilized version has been stored at -26°C for at least 72 hours and is therefore free of mourning flies.
