Use in the terrarium
The foliage can be applied over a large area as a cover layer and thus supports humidity regulation. At the same time, it provides retreats and food for invertebrates, which enrich the soil with valuable nutrients and thus promote plant growth. Ideal for use in bioactive terrariums with auxiliary fauna and natural planting.
Zoo Roco tip
For a particularly stable microclimate, we recommend regularly loosening the HabiStat Leaf Litter slightly and combining it with other natural materials such as moss or pieces of bark. This creates an even more varied soil structure, which reptiles and invertebrates particularly like to use.

Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 gHabistat 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.Your benefits at a glanceNatural leaf litter mulch for terrariumsMade from shredded leavesIdeal for bioactive terrariumsSupports a natural ground systemHelps to maintain a valuable microclimate in the substrateProvides hiding places and structure for terrarium animalsSupports cleaning crews such as woodlice, beetles and millipedesCan encourage natural behaviours such as digging and foragingDecorative top layer over the substrateMakes the terrarium look more like a natural habitatVacuum-packedInstructions for useSpread the Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch as a loose top layer over the suitable terrarium substrate.
