{"product_id":"no-soil-terrarium-drainage-sponge","title":"No Soil Terrarium Drainage Sponge – 35 PPI (20\" x 20\" x 1\")","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe drainage sponge is the foundation of a no-soil bioactive terrarium. Instead of a traditional substrate layer that has to be replaced every couple of years and lives or dies on drainage, this sponge gives you a clean, lightweight base that drains freely and lasts for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use 35 PPI specifically. It drains well without being so open that it holds nothing, which is exactly what you want under a dart frog build. Water passes through to your drainage layer below instead of sitting in the sponge, so you avoid the anaerobic conditions, mold, and smell that come with poor drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy keepers are switching to a no-soil build:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo substrate to replace.

With no drilled holes or plumbed hoses, you can lift a corner and siphon out excess water any time, even with your frogs in the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it:\u003c\/strong\u003e The sheet comes oversized so you can cut it to fit your enclosure. Use a fresh, sharp blade for a clean edge. Lay it about one inch thick over an egg crate or clay ball (LECA) drainage layer, then top with leaf litter and sphagnum moss for a natural forest-floor look. Plants root right into the sphagnum, no soil needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with our cleanup crew and no-soil plant packages for a complete, self-sustaining setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: 20\" x 20\" x 1\", 35 PPI.
