Josh's Frogs Dart Frog BioBedding Bioactive Substrate is the perfect blend for growing tropical plants both in the home and in bioactive vivariums!

Our mix is a more eco-friendly modification on the original ABG Mix developed by Atlanta Botanical Gardens - it doesn't contain tree fern! Each bag is a precise mixture of charcoal, milled sphagnum moss, fir bark, minerals and trace elements.

The mixture creates the perfect balance between retaining moisture and proper drainage; it can last for several years if used properly!

• PLANTS THRIVE: Enables a huge variety of plants, especially tropicals and houseplants, to thrive
• LONG LASTING: Specifically designed to break down slowly, making it prime for use in terrariums/vivariums
• BIO-BALANCED: Each of the multiple ingredients in this precise mix support a balanced ecosystem
• EXCELLENT FOR CULTURING: Great for springtails, isopods, and other similar insects
