Application:
SOILICO ReptiLeaves TROPIC is spread as the top layer on the substrate – either evenly or in zones. Depending on the setup, the leaf layer can be replenished as needed once it becomes thinner or visibly decomposed.

What are SOILICO ReptiLeaves TROPIC intended for?
They are intended as a tropical leaf layer for naturalistic terrariums: visually appealing, functional as a food and structural basis for saprophages , and supporting a more natural microclimate on the ground.
How are the leaves best used?
The easiest way to apply it is as a top layer on the substrate. Depending on the desired look, it can be applied over the entire area or only in specific areas, for example under decorations, roots, or in hiding places.
Can ReptiLeaves be combined with other substrates?
Yes. As a top layer , they are particularly well suited to tropical substrates. This makes the surface appear more natural, while the main substrate underneath forms the actual soil base.
Do the leaves need to be moistened?
It depends on the setup. In humid terrariums, the leaf litter absorbs the ambient humidity. In drier layouts, it can also be used dry – depending on the desired surface and husbandry method.
What is the best way to store the bag?
Store in a dry and clean place, and fully close the zip fastener after use. This keeps the material protected and allows for clean portioning.
