Collection: Critter Litter

Natural leaves offer several key benefits in a bioactive terrarium:

* Nutrient Cycling: As leaves decompose, they release essential nutrients into the substrate, enriching the soil for plants and microorganisms.
* Humidity Regulation: Leaf litter helps maintain consistent humidity levels by absorbing and slowly releasing moisture.
* Microclimate Creation: Leaves provide hiding spots, creating microclimates with varying temperatures and humidity for your terrarium inhabitants.
* Cleanup Crew Support: They serve as a food source and shelter for beneficial cleanup crews like isopods and springtails, which break down waste and improve soil health.
* Natural Aesthetics: Leaves add a natural and visually appealing element to your terrarium.
Important Note: Always use leaves that are safe for your specific terrarium inhabitants and ensure they are free of pesticides or chemicals.
