Terra Flora is The Bio Dude's handcrafted bioactive substrate for exactly those biomes: very humid, heavily planted vivaria for rainforest amphibians and reptiles like dart frogs, tree frogs, and salamanders. It holds the right amount of water and passes any excess straight through into a HydroGrow drainage layer below.
