Description
Premium Tropical Leaf Litter – Direct Import (Pre-Order)
This is not your typical dry, brittle leaf litter.
This is a carefully selected tropical leaf mix imported directly from Sri Lanka, designed specifically for bioactive vivariums, dart frogs, and invertebrate setups.
Each batch contains a natural mix of leaves such as Catappa, Guava, Jackfruit, Cinnamon, and Mangrove, all known for their durability, tannin release, and ability to support thriving microfauna colonies.
🌿 Why Tropical Leaves Are Superior to UK Leaves
- Stronger structure – Tropical leaves are thicker and break down slowly, providing long-term habitat for microfauna
- Not brittle – Unlike UK-sourced leaves, these remain intact and functional in high humidity environments
- Higher tannin content – Supports natural antifungal and antibacterial properties
- Better for bioactivity – Encourages springtails, isopods, and beneficial microorganisms
- Natural aesthetic – Creates a true rainforest floor look and feel
🧪 Bioactive Benefits
- Provides shelter and breeding ground for microfauna
- Helps regulate humidity within the vivarium
- Breaks down gradually to feed the ecosystem
- Supports natural behaviours in dart frogs and invertebrates
