White Springtails

Springtails (Collembola) are tiny, soil-dwelling arthropods that are essential for maintaining healthy, balanced ecosystems in bioactive enclosures. These microfauna are highly effective decomposers, feeding on mold, decaying organic matter, and waste, which helps to prevent buildup and maintain substrate quality.\n\nSpringtails thrive in moist, humid environments and are easy to cultivate in a variety of setups. Simply keep them in a container with a damp substrate, such as charcoal or soil, and feed them small amounts of yeast, rice, or decaying plant material. Once established, they can be added to terrariums, vivariums, or potted plants where they will continuously clean and aerate the substrate. Their low-maintenance care and vital ecological role make springtails an indispensable addition to any bioactive system.
