SOILICO DrainBase – Expanded clay pebbles for terrariums – high-quality expanded clay pebbles as a reliable drainage layer in the terrarium . SOILICO DrainBase is used as the bottom layer in the setup so that excess water can drain away in a controlled manner instead of remaining permanently in the substrate. This is particularly suitable for humid , tropical , and bioactive setups where a well-structured base is essential.

What makes SOILICO DrainBase special:
– Intended as a drainage layer : supports the drainage of excess water and helps to reduce waterlogging in the substrate.
– Stable substructure : creates a load-bearing, airy base beneath the actual soil.
– Expanded clay pebbles with 10–20 mm : suitable for a structured and airy drainage layer
– Suitable for humid and bioactive setups : ideal for setups with regular watering or higher humidity
– Resealable zip closure : clean storage and easy portioning in everyday life

Typical areas of application:
– As a drainage layer under tropical and moist soil substrates
– As a base for bioactive setups to direct water away from the substrate
– In plant areas where a clear moisture structure is desired

What is SOILICO DrainBase used for?

SOILICO DrainBase is used as a drainage layer to allow excess water to drain away. This helps protect the soil from permanently wet areas and promotes a more stable soil environment.

What size ball does SOILICO DrainBase have?

The expanded clay pebbles are 10–20 mm in size. This size is suitable for an airy and stable drainage layer , allowing water to drain away and keeping the substructure structured.

Is a separating layer needed over the drainage?

Yes, a separating layer such as fleece or mesh is recommended. This keeps the drainage clearer and prevents the substrate from slipping into the spheres. The structure remains cleaner and functions more reliably in the long term.

For which setups is SOILICO DrainBase particularly suitable?

SOILICO DrainBase is particularly useful in tropical and humid setups, in bioactive structures and anywhere where watering or spraying is done regularly and water needs to be drained in a controlled manner.

What is the advantage of a zip closure?

The resealable zip closure allows for clean storage and easy portioning. SOILICO DrainBase stays tidy without the need for transferring and is easy to handle in everyday life.

What is the best way to store SOILICO DrainBase?

Store in a dry place and, after use, completely close the zip closure . This keeps SOILICO DrainBase clean, protected, and ready for use at all times.
