EntoScapes' Special All-Purpose High Nutrient Plant Soil Substrate
Give your indoor plants and vivarium greenery the ultimate biological head start. Our Special All-Purpose Plant Soil is a professionally balanced, nutrient-dense growing medium designed to support robust root development and lush foliage. Hand-blended using a multi-component recipe of premium soils, organic conditioners, and natural minerals, this versatile substrate delivers the perfect balance of moisture retention, micro-drainage, and long-term aeration for tropical, temperate, and potted plant species alike.
Our EntoScapes high nutrient plant soil mix comprises of different all natural ingredients such as composted organic matter and bark pieces for aeration. The secret behind the high nutrient value of this substrate is frass (yes you read that correctly!), from our beetle grubs, millipedes and isopods. The frass is full of available nutrients rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that plants need for healthy growth. We hate waste at EntoScapes and have found a way to repurpose things!
We understand that if you are like us, then you probably have a large collection of house plants which frequently need repotting, so we made a soil which is more suitable for plant growth than being an enclosure substrate.
*Please do not use this as substrate for keeping inverts as it can contain pine bark! *
