Description
A 100% natural mix of dried leaves, pine cones, and selected organic materials designed to enhance aquarium environments, terrariums, and bioactive setups. These organic elements improve water quality, provide a natural habitat for fish and invertebrates, and support biological balance within both aquatic and closed ecosystems. Additionally, they create a realistic, nature-inspired aesthetic that mimics natural habitats.
Usage Instructions
For Aquariums:
1. Preparation:
• Rinse the leaves and pine cones thoroughly with clean water to remove any impurities.
• Soak the materials in water for 24 hours before adding them to the aquarium to prevent cloudiness.
2. Application:
• Place leaves and pine cones at the bottom of the tank or float them on the surface to create a natural shelter for fish.
• Suitable for freshwater aquariums and paludariums.
For Terrariums:
1. Preparation:
• No soaking required; use directly from the package.
• Spread over the substrate for a more natural and balanced environment.
2. Application:
• Works as a decorative top layer that enhances the terrarium’s aesthetic and boosts biological decomposition.
• Helps maintain humidity by slowly releasing stored moisture.
• Supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms that contribute to soil health.
• Releases natural oils that improve air quality within the terrarium.
