The algae is rich in   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">magnesium, calcium and various vitamins<\/span><span class=\"s2\">including vitamin A, vitamin B3, vitamin B12 and vitamin C.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">These nutrients can be a useful supplement to the normal diet of many terrarium inhabitants. Especially  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Isopods, snails, millipedes and other decomposers<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> readily accept algae food and benefit from the mineral-rich composition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Another advantage of sea lettuce is its <\/span><span class=\"s1\">natural structure<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The thin algae leaves are easy to decompose and are therefore ideal as supplementary food in bioactive terrariums.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">Application<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Before feeding, it is advisable to soak the leaves <\/span><span class=\"s1\">soak the leaves in water for about 10-15 minutes<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The sea lettuce swells considerably and can be  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">grow to four times its original size<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Soaking softens the leaf tissue, making it easier for the animals to decompose and <\/span><span class=\"s1\">decompose and eat it more easily<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. At the same time, the leaves absorb water, which provides the animals with additional water when feeding.  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Absorb moisture<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Especially in <\/span><span class=\"s1\">bioactive terrariums<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> sea lettuce supplements the natural diet of the ground police and provides additional variety in the food supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">With <\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Green algae sea lettuce<\/strong> (Ulva lactuca)<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> you offer your invertebrates a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">natural, mineral-rich supplementary food<\/span><span class=\"s2\">that comes from the sea and provides many important nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Composition:<\/strong> 100 % sea lettuce algae (Ulva spp.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sea lettuce &#8211; mineral-rich green algae for your invertebrates Green algae sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca)also known as sea lettuce is a multicellular green algae found in many of the world&#8217;s oceans.
