Tree Fern Substrate - 40 Litres

40 Litres of Fernwood Soft Tree Fern Substrate is perfect for creating a jungle floor in your tropical or sub-tropical terrarium or vivarium, and is suitable for Salamanders, Frogs, Geckos and burrowing reptiles. It can also be used as a growing substrate for many different plant types including epiphytes, orchids and ferns. As it has the ability to retain moisture for a long period of time without bogging, it is also an excellent hydroponic substrate.

This Soft Tree Fern Substrate has unique and natural properties including:

• Ability to retain moisture without becoming waterlogged.
• Well draining and good aeration.
• Slow to compost due to its natural antibacterial properties.
• Natural forest floor smell and texture encourages natural burrowing behaviour.
• Fibrous and soft.
• Natural look and colour. When wetted the substrate becomes a darker colour.
• Soft and porous for plant roots to easily grow through the fibre without becoming compacted.
• Natural capillary action works well when using flood trays for plant irrigation.

All Fernwood Products are manufactured from New Zealand Tree Fern which is sustainably harvested from privately owned forests.
