Exo Terra Tropical Forest Dual Substrate
Exo Terra Tropical Forest Dual Substrate –
Multi layer substrate that allows you to recreate the forest floor as found in natural tropical forests.
The forest floor is one of the most distinctive features of the tropical forest ecosystem. It usually consists of two major layers;
- The top layer mainly consisting of mosses & lichens
- The base layer consists of rich organic matter – usually decomposed leaves & wood
The top layer consists of sun dried natural green moss from a sustainable resource. With this decorative top layer you can actually create the soft floor covering found in natural tropical forests.
The sun dried green moss provides a soft layer for animals to burrow and also cover their secret hideout. Most reptiles and amphibians forage the forest floor in search of food and water. The top layer covers the actual substrate underneath to facilitate its moisture retention. It will also prevent the soil from drying out.
The biodegradable moss is absolutely free of chemicals and can also be safely composted in your garden.

The base layer consists of rich organic matter from sustainable ground coconut husk fiber. It is a 100% natural, ecological and also biodegradable substrate with great hygroscopic properties.
The unique coir pith used consists of a mixture of short fiber and coco-peat grain sizes. Ranging from coarse granules to fine clumps resulting in improved soil drainage and also healthy plant root aeration.
