The substrate comes from   <\/span><span class=\"s2\">carefully controlled regional extraction<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> and offers a particularly versatile basis for many terrarium species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">An important component of this humus is the high proportion of <\/span><span class=\"s2\">decayed hardwood<\/span><span class=\"s1\">which makes up more than 30 %. This creates a particularly nutrient-rich substrate. At the same time, the decomposed wood serves as an important source of food for many organisms.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Especially for <\/span><span class=\"s2\">first-time decomposers<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> <strong>forest humus<\/strong> is an ideal habitat. Isopods, millipedes, snails, worms and springtails find a natural environment in it. At the same time, the humus provides important organic components that are utilized by these animals.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Forest humus<\/strong> is therefore ideal as the <\/span><span class=\"s2\">main component of a soil substrate<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  in terrariums in which invertebrates are kept. At the same time, it supports a stable biological balance in the terrarium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another advantage is the <\/span><span class=\"s2\">balanced natural pH value<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. This creates an environment that benefits many terrarium animals and plants. The substrate also retains moisture and provides a loose soil structure at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For additional safety, we also offer a <\/span><span class=\"s2\">sterilized version<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  of our <strong>forest humus<\/strong>. This is used for at least   <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Stored at -26 \u00b0C for 72 hours<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. This treatment creates a  <\/span><span class=\"s2\">mosquito-free quality<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  achieved. This allows you to set up your terrarium without introducing unwanted pests. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The application is simple. You can use the <strong>forest humus<\/strong> directly as   <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Using soil substrate in the terrarium<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  or mix it with other substrates. This creates a natural soil that supports both plants and animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Especially in <\/span><span class=\"s2\">bioactive terrariums<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> <strong>forest humus<\/strong> plays an important role. The so-called soil police &#8211; Isopods, millipedes and springtails &#8211; find ideal conditions here. These animals decompose organic materials such as excrement or food scraps and at the same time provide natural soil aeration.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This improves the substrate <\/span><span class=\"s2\">substrate quality<\/span><span class=\"s1\">while at the same time creating a stable micro-ecosystem. Plants grow better and terrarium animals benefit from a more natural environment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As this is a natural product, it may occasionally contain small foreign substances despite careful checking. We therefore recommend checking the humus briefly before using it in the terrarium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With its high proportion of organic material, its natural origin and its excellent suitability for primary decomposers, our <\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">forest humus<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s1\"> is an ideal basis for a lively and stable terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forest humus &#8211; Natural forest soil for your terrarium With our forest humus you get a piece of natural forest soil directly into your terrarium.
