Sweet Gum Leaves

Sweet Gum Leaves: Nature's Perfect Bioactive Litter 🍂
Introduce the authentic, functional beauty of a forest floor into your invertebrate habitat with our Premium Sweet Gum Leaves. Far more than just decoration, these leaves are a cornerstone of a healthy, thriving bioactive environment!
Sourced from clean, untreated areas and carefully dried, these leaves provide essential habitat, food, and environmental conditioning for your entire cleanup crew and primary inhabitants.
The Bioactive Essential
* Primary Isopod & Millipede Food: As these leaves slowly decompose, they become the ideal, sustained food source for isopods, millipedes, and springtails. They encourage continuous microbial growth, which is vital for the health of your detritivores.
* Micro-Habitat & Shelter: The naturally curled and layered shape creates crucial hiding places and dark, moist micro-climates for small animals like slings, juvenile inverts, and your entire cleanup crew. They are essential for species that require high humidity and ground cover.
* Natural Acidity & Buffering: As the leaves break down, they release tannins and humic substances into the substrate, naturally lowering the pH and creating a beneficial environment that helps to prevent mold and inhibit harmful bacteria growth.
* Aesthetically Pleasing: Their distinctive, multi-pointed shape adds a beautiful, authentic touch to any enclosure, truly replicating a natural woodland setting.
Simply layer them over your substrate. They will slowly decay, providing nutrition and shelter for months, allowing your bioactive setup to flourish naturally.
Clean, functional, and beautiful—Sweet Gum Leaves are the easy way to achieve an authentic, balanced bioactive terrarium.
