Combining high-quality materials with a carefully considered mix that includes sand, it delivers the structural stability and moisture retention that tropical vivarium setups demand — without shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFormulated for Tropical Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pH of this substrate sits at approximately 5.5–6.5, closely replicating the leaf-humus layers found on the floor of a tropical rainforest. This makes it well suited to species that originate from humid, bioactive environments where soil chemistry matters. No surfactants or fertilisers have been added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater Management\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJungle Bedding holds moisture effectively and — crucially — even when it dries out, it rehydrates readily when water is reintroduced. This prevents the substrate from becoming hydrophobic over time, a common failure point in lesser tropical mixes. Structural integrity is maintained even under regular misting cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDrainage Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results, use with a dedicated drainage layer beneath the substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hydro drain base layer combined with a separation fleece prevents the substrate from becoming waterlogged or swampy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis layered approach is strongly recommended for any closed or high-humidity tropical terrarium build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJungle Bedding is available in more than one bag size, making it practical whether you are setting up a compact tropical vivarium or a larger, more involved terrarium build.
