No bioactive ecosystem is complete without Springtails—the micro-foundation of every effective clean up crew! While isopods handle larger leaves and waste, tiny springtails venture deep into the root zone and tiny crevices to consume fungal spores, mold, yeast, and decaying matter before bad bacteria can take over.

Our cultures arrive pre-seeded and actively breeding. Simply flood the culture with dechlorinated water and pour them directly into your substrate layer or drainage layer to establish an invisible, self-maintaining mold barrier. Pair them with any of our isopod species for a complete, 2-step bioactive clean up crew.
