Mixture of peat and sand
€7.50
Tax included
The new peat and sand mixture is a suitable substrate for many terrarium animals that need a surface for burrowing, as well as as an egg-laying substrate for many reptiles.
The mixture is also ideal for small mammals, as the excrement is easily absorbed and most odors are neutralized by the peat content.
Since the peat fibers are small, it is also suitable for arachnids and insects.
The soil mixes organic (peat) and inorganic (sand) raw materials, making it an excellent substrate for hosting potted plants or improving the soil of your terrariums or bio-terraquariums.
This mixture of peat and sand is also excellent for planted terrariums to compose the top dressing, or even as post-aeration on the seedbed of both ornamental and vegetable plants.
This mixture, having a screening peat of a few millimeters inside, also becomes ideal for transport faunaboxes for small animals, for arachnids and other insects but is also suitable for small ornamental gardens and bonsai, as it has a high nutritional value.
It is resistant to compaction and the sand offers excellent drainage, while the peat offers support and water retention, and acts as a natural organic substance and nutrition for the plants.
Soil performs many functions:
- guarantees the right exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, avoiding bad odors in your terrariums;
- holds the optimal amount of water allowing burrowing animals to create tunnels that won't collapse;
- drains excess water, avoiding creating stagnation that causes the roots to rot;
- nourishes the plants thanks to the presence of peat, therefore it also acts as a fertilizer;
- promotes the rooting of plants because the roots can access water and nutrients more easily.
A suggestion to increase drainage and firmness would be to add perlite.
