Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g
Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g is a natural mulch made from shredded leaves for terrariums and bioactive setups. Ideal as a top layer over the substrate, to support the microclimate and as a hiding place and feeding area for cleaning crews.
Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g is a natural terrarium mulch made from a carefully selected mixture of shredded leaves. It is ideal as a decorative and functional top layer over the substrate and makes the terrarium look more like a natural habitat. The mulch supports substrate health, the stability of the microclimate and the ecological balance within the terrarium.
Leaf litter mulch is particularly suitable for bioactive terrariums. There, it provides food and hiding places for so-called ‘clean-up crews’ such as woodlice, beetles and millipedes. As these organisms break down the leaves, nutrients are returned to the soil, which helps to maintain a natural terrarium environment.
The shredded leaves provide animals with additional structure, cover and enrichment. Many terrarium animals use layers of leaves for digging, hiding, exploring or foraging. HabiStat recommends using the mulch as a top layer over the substrate.

Instructions for use
Spread the Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch as a loose top layer over the suitable terrarium substrate. In bioactive terrariums, the mulch can serve as a feeding and shelter area for cleaning crews. If required, it can be combined with additional leaf litter, mosses, pieces of bark or other natural decorations.
Zoo Roco Tip
In bioactive terrariums, a layer of leaf litter is almost indispensable: it protects the substrate, provides hiding places and supports woodlice and springtails in their work. The mulch looks particularly natural when combined with whole leaves, pieces of cork and roots.
