Tree Fern Fibre

Tree Fern Substrate

Fernwood Soft Tropical Terrarium Substrate is made from the fibrous stem of the kuripaka, a native New Zealand tree fern.

Our product is unique in that:

• It has the ability to hold moisture without becoming waterlogged.
• It is slow to compost.
• It’s smell and texture encourage natural burrowing.
• It absorbs waste and diminishes odours.

All Fernwood Products are manufactured from New Zealand Tree Fern which is sustainably harvested from privately owned forests

Uses

Together with being a very suitable substrate material for our invertebrate species, the other forms of the Tree Fern Fibre (boards and totems can provide excellent backing or structures within your setups.

How to Prepare

Simply crumble the Tree Fern substrate if it has compacted during shipping and use within your setups or blend with other substrates to produce a species specific substrate mix

Suitable For

Any tropical species, especially those which burrow as this would help to both retain moisture and provide structure. With this in mind it is a must for any bioactive invertebrate setup as part of the substrate.
