Product Description
Josh's Frogs ABG Mix is a premium, bioactive vivarium substrate formulated from the legendary, decades-tested recipe developed by the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This specialized tropical plant soil is expertly engineered for hobbyists creating naturalistic terrariums, paludariums, and dart frog setups in India. The precise mixture combines tree fern fiber, milled sphagnum moss, pine bark, peat, and charcoal to deliver the ultimate balance between moisture retention and structural drainage. Unlike standard potting soils that compact and suffocate roots over time, this long-lasting substrate resists decomposition for several years. It provides an ideal, odor-free foundation that supports beneficial microfauna like isopods and springtails, which naturally cycle waste to keep your ecosystem pristine and thriving.
