Description
Lilac / Purple Springtail cultures are a unique and visually interesting addition to bioactive vivariums and tropical terrariums. Their soft lilac and purple tones add variety to microfauna populations while still delivering the same essential clean-up benefits springtails are known for.
These springtails thrive in warm, humid environments and play an important role in breaking down organic waste, grazing on mould, and supporting overall substrate health. They are well suited to planted enclosures, dart frog terrariums, and other tropical bioactive setups.
Each culture includes a minimum of 25 live Lilac / Purple Springtails and is supplied with food to help establish and maintain the colony, whether you choose to seed them directly into an enclosure or keep a separate culture running.
