They come from   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">controlled cultivation by private smallholders in South America<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and are of course <\/span><span class=\"s1\">free from pesticides or other chemical additives<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">In the terrarium, <strong>cocoa leaves<\/strong> mainly serve as a natural <\/span><span class=\"s1\">natural covering layer on the bottom substrate<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. This creates an environment that comes very close to the natural habitat of many tropical animals. Especially in  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Rainforest terrariums<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> the leaves provide an authentic and natural design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Many <\/span><span class=\"s1\">invertebrates such as Isopods, springtails and millipedes<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  use foliage in nature both as shelter and for foraging. Exactly this behavior can also be observed in the terrarium. The animals hide under the leaves, find shelter there and at the same time rummage through them for food. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Another advantage of <strong>cocoa leaves<\/strong> is their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">natural effect on the terrarium climate<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. As they slowly decompose, they give off  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Tannic and humic acids<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  from. These substances can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi and thus support a stable microclimate in the terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The leaves also help the substrate to dry out more slowly. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">substrate dries out more slowly<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The top layer keeps moisture in the soil for longer and thus ensures a more balanced climate, which is particularly important for many tropical terrarium animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Visually, <strong>cocoa leaves<\/strong> also create a realistic <\/span><span class=\"s1\">realistic rainforest image<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The natural shapes and colors give your terrarium a particularly authentic forest floor structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As it is a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">natural product<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  the individual leaves differ in size, shape and color. However, it is precisely these differences that create a particularly natural effect in the terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">With <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">cocoa leaves<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> you can create a near-natural top layer that is not only decorative but also supports the ecological balance in your terrarium. <\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tropical forest floor for your terrarium &#8211; cocoa leaves from South America Cocoa leaves are an excellent natural addition to your terrarium.
