Nature's self-cleaning substrate team

Benefits of living floors

Waste breakdown

Prevent mold

Soil aeration

Isopods continuously consume decaying leaves, leftover food, and organic waste, converting them into nutrients that feed your live plants.

By eating fungal spores and competing for resources, they keep mold outbreaks under control, maintaining a pristine, healthy habitat.

As they burrow through the substrate, they naturally aerate the soil, preventing compaction and encouraging healthy root growth.

How cleanup crews work

Establish the substrate

Introduce the crew

Let nature work

Create a deep layer of moisture-retaining soil mixed with charcoal and sphagnum moss, topped with plenty of damp oak leaf litter.

Release your isopods and springtails directly onto the forest floor. They will quickly seek shelter under cork bark and leaves.

The crew begins breaking down organic waste immediately, cycling nutrients back into the soil and keeping the enclosure clean.

Isopods and springtails

While isopods handle the heavy lifting by breaking down large organic matter and leaf litter, springtails are the microscopic specialists that target mold, fungal growth, and tiny waste particles.

Together, they form an unbeatable self-cleaning team. This symbiotic relationship ensures your bioactive substrate remains balanced, fresh, and completely odor-free.
