All of our leaf litters are collected from a pesti cide and herbicide free environment.
They will hold up very well in humid environments so it makes a great terrarium or aquarium addition.
As these are natural products, each leaf will vary slightly in size and shape. Each pack contains 10 leaves.
Leaf Litter performs a very important role in a naturalistic vivarium. Leaf Litter provides shelter, visual barriers, and hiding places for the vivarium inhabitants.
Mimicking the role of dead plant matter in the rainforest or in the riverbed, Leaf Litter also puts nutrients back into the environment, providing the stuff plants and microfauna need to thrive!
Although our leaves are collected in a pesti cide and herbicide free environment, many choose to further treat vivarium decor. Leaves can be baked to a temperature of 140 degrees F. It is recommended that an oven safe container of water is in the stove with them to prevent ignition from being too dry.
Alternatively, they can be boiled before adding to an aquarium.
