EXO TERRA SUB STRATUM – BIOACTIVE VOLCANIC SUBSTRATE – 8.8 LB The Exo Terra Sub Stratum is a specialized substrate designed for use in bioactive planted terrariums. It is sourced from the mineral-rich foothills of the Aso Volcano in Japan. The substrate is composed of andesitic and rhyolitic tephra, which are types of volcanic soil. This volcanic substrate is highly beneficial for creating a thriving ecosystem within a terrarium. Its nutrient-rich composition provides an ideal environment for lush plant growth. The porous surface of the substrate allows for excellent drainage and aeration, which is essential for maintaining healthy plant roots. One of the key features of the Sub Stratum is its friable, low density structure. This structure promotes the growth of a diverse population of beneficial, nitrifying bacteria. These bacteria play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle, converting harmful ammonia into less toxic compounds, such as nitrate. This biological activity helps to maintain the terrarium’s water quality and supports the overall health of the ecosystem. Additionally, the active biological activity within the substrate aids in the decomposition of organic waste. This helps to keep the terrarium clean and prevents the buildup of harmful compounds. The self-sustaining nature of the living terrarium ecosystem created by the Sub Stratum reduces the need for frequent maintenance and promotes a more natural and balanced environment for the terrarium inhabitants. Overall, the Exo Terra Sub Stratum is a nutrient-rich, volcanic substrate that supports strong plant growth and fosters a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem in bioactive planted terrariums. 3 Ways to use Sub Stratum: As a sole substrateAs a drainage layerMixed in with other substrates Sole SubstrateWhen Exo Terra’s Sub Stratum is used as the sole substrate, add a layer of 2,5 – 5 cm (1 – 2 in) to the terrarium. The live bacteria will activate when the substrate comes in contact with water or waste. The organic matter such as left over food and animal waste will decompose over time. The absorbing properties of volcanic ash will eliminate odors by trapping the decomposed materials. Rinse the Sub Stratum and replace partly every 12 months. Drainage Layer Add a top layer of biological substrate to the Exo Terra’s Sub Stratum layer for optimal bioactivity and drainage. Plants can be secured in the top layer (eg. Exo Terra’s Plantation Soil) while their roots will thrive in the sub layer of Sub Stratum – resulting in optimal growth.Additionally, an inorganic layer can be added first for even better drainage (Exo Terra’s BioDrain) to allow excess water to flow through the substrate to avoid saturation and anaerobic bacteria to outcompete the beneficial bacteria in the Sub Stratum substrate. Use the BioDrain Mesh to separate the BioDrain layer from organic matter to penetrate the underlying layer.Use a top layer of leaf litter to provide dry areas, shelter and dwelling surfaces for all organisms in the terrarium. In the meantime, it will prevent evaporation of the underlying layers. Mixed-inThe secret to growing healthy plants begins with the soil. Naturally, healthy soil contains living microorganisms — from bacteria to fungi, protozoa and arthropods. Together they form a choreographed exchange from the recycling of nutrients to the decomposition of organic materials.By mixing the Sub Stratum with other organic substrates, you enrich any substrate with the required minerals like calcium, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. It also aids in the water retention capacity and provide adequate air supply to the roots.Only use tap water treated with Aquatize (PT1979) in bioactive planted terrariums to remove heavy metals, chlorine, and chloramines.The regular use of Turtle Clean (PT1998 or PT1999) to add extra beneficial organisms to the terrarium water will support the biological filtration capabilities.
