INDIAN ALMOND BARK (CATAPPA BARK) - 20 G
The Unusual Properties and Benefits of Leaf-litter
As well as providing a natural source of food for living plants and organisms, dried leaves contain tannins and humic acids, which leach into the soil when it rains. Tannins are what give blackwater rivers and streams their characteristic tea-color appearance and low pH value. Selective leaf litter can also provide additional benefits, including anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, all of which support your substrate health. All the leaf litter Biome Exotics offers have been specifically selected to have these enhanced properties. Standard and readily available Oak, and Magnolia leaves can be mixed in to increase the organic matter when preparing your substrate mixture.
INDIAN ALMOND BARK (CATAPPA BARK) PROPERTIES:
- Creates a natural look.
- Enhances the natural water color in tropical Amazonian Paludariums.
- Contains acids and tannins which have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties preventing bacteria and diseases.
