Arcadia Earthmix is a professional-grade terrarium substrate designed for tropical reptile and amphibian enclosures. It provides a naturalistic base that supports healthy soil biology and plant growth.
Volcanic rock granules create a stable, well-aerated base layer
10-litre bag covers approximately 0.5–1 m² at standard depth
Suitable for tropical terrarium fauna including reptiles and amphibians
Supports natural burrowing and digging behaviour
What makes Earthmix stand out
Unlike standard garden soils, Earthmix is specifically formulated for enclosed terrarium environments. The volcanic rock component ensures excellent drainage and prevents compaction, while the granular structure mimics natural tropical forest floor conditions.
Ideal for...
Tropical terrarium setups housing species such as dart frogs, day geckos, and other humidity-loving reptiles and amphibians. Also suitable for bioactive vivariums where a living substrate layer is part of the ecosystem.
Application of Arcadia Earthmix
Spread a 5–10 cm layer evenly across the terrarium floor
Mist lightly to settle the substrate before introducing animals or plants
For bioactive setups, add a drainage layer of hydroballs beneath the Earthmix
Replace or top up every 6–12 months depending on biological activity
