Colombian Leaf Litter — Mango Leaves (Mangifera indica), 20 Count

Mango leaves (Mangifera indica) earn their place in a bioactive mix with a long, narrow profile that layers beautifully over broader litter. This pack brings twenty larger leaves from The Bio Dude’s Colombian line to your terrarium floor — food for the soil, cover for the crew and texture for the eye. Like all of The Bio Dude’s Colombian leaf litter, these leaves are pre-boiled, baked and dried, harvested ethically from the Colombian rainforest, and guaranteed free of contaminants. Your order ships direct from The Bio Dude — see our shipping policy and refund policy for how these orders work.

• Feeds the cleanup crew: decomposing leaf litter is a primary food source for isopods and springtails — the engine of any bioactive enclosure, as our clean-up crew guide explains.
• Tannin-rich: naturally rich in tannins, useful in terrariums and aquariums alike.
• 20 larger leaves per pack: the slender shape interleaves well with broader leaves like cacao or avocado for a convincing mixed-litter floor.
• Terrarium and aquarium use: a tannin contributor on land or in water — useful in vivariums, paludariums and natural aquascapes.
• Safe by preparation: pre-boiled, baked and dried before packaging — ready to place once it arrives.
