FAQs

How often should I replace the soil?

The soil mix typically needs replacing every 6-12 months, depending on use and maintenance. Monitor the soil's condition and replace it if it becomes compacted or loses its ability to support plant growth.

Can I use this soil mix for other animals?

While formulated for amphibians, frogs, and reptiles, you should research compatibility for other species before use.

How much soil do I need?

The amount of soil needed depends on the size of your enclosure and the depth of the soil layer. As a general guideline, aim for a 2-4 inch layer.

How do I water the plants in the enclosure?

Use a spray bottle or a watering can with a gentle spout to water the plants. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to mold and root rot.

What if my soil mix gets too wet?

If the soil becomes too wet, improve drainage and ventilation. Consider adding a drainage layer to the bottom of the enclosure and reducing the frequency of watering. If waterlogging persists, replace the soil mix.

What is a clean-up crew, and why do I need one?

A clean-up crew consists of small invertebrates (such as springtails and isopods) that help break down waste, recycle nutrients, and keep the soil healthy. They are essential for maintaining a balanced, bio-active environment.

Where can I buy Arcadia Earth Pro Bio-Revitaliser?

Arcadia Earth Pro Bio-Revitaliser is available from various pet stores and online retailers. Check with your local pet supply store or search online for availability.

Troubleshooting

Mold growth

Reduce humidity, improve ventilation, and remove affected soil. Introduce more springtails if needed.

Soil is too dry

Add water gradually, ensuring even moisture distribution. Consider misting more frequently.

Plants are not thriving

Check light levels, ensure proper drainage, and adjust watering. Consider adding a plant-specific fertilizer.

Unpleasant odors

Remove any decaying matter, check for overwatering, and ensure proper ventilation. Add more isopods.
