  • DESCRIPTION

    NewCal Water Oak leaf litter can be an excellent addition to both terrariums and aquariums, offering several benefits:


    Terrariums
    :

    • Humidity Regulation: The leaves help retain moisture and maintain humidity levels within the enclosure, which is beneficial for tropical or high-humidity terrariums.
    • Microhabitats: Leaf litter provides hiding and foraging spots for small creatures like insects and amphibians.
    • Natural Aesthetics: It can enhance the natural look of the terrarium, contributing to a more realistic ecosystem.


    Aquariums
    :

    • Tannin Release: Water oak leaves release tannins which can slightly lower the pH and soften the water, mimicking natural habitats like those in the Amazon or Southeast Asia.
    • Biofilm Development: The surface of the leaves can develop biofilm, which is a food source for shrimp and some fish species.
    • Natural Hiding Places: They provide cover and a sense of security for fish and invertebrates.


    Preparation and Use
    :

    • Cleaning: Make sure to rinse the leaves thoroughly to remove dirt and pesticides.
    • Boiling or Soaking: Boil or soak the leaves in hot water to break down any remaining pesticides and to help them sink in the aquarium or terrarium.
    • Replacement: Over time, the leaves will decompose and should be replaced periodically to maintain water quality and aesthetics.

    Using water oak leaf litter is a great way to enrich the habitat of your terrarium or aquarium, creating a more balanced and visually appealing environment for your plants and animals.
