Terrarium substrate Hydro Drain

Water-retaining clay substrate for terrariums

Hydro Drain is essential for tropical terrariums. It is a special clay substrate that is an excellent water reservoir. Hydro Drain is added as a drainage layer under the normal soil substrate. Water can seep through the substrate and is stored by the clay granules. If the water absorption capacity of the clay is exceeded, the water can remain on the terrarium floor without any problems. As long as the height of the drainage layer created with Hydro Drain is not exceeded, the normal substrate will not become waterlogged. Thanks to its water storage capacity, Hydro Drain also increases the humidity in the terrarium and is practical for supplying plants with sufficient groundwater. We recommend adding a layer of Hydro Drain at least 3 cm high to the terrarium and covering it with our special Hydro Fleece. The normal substrate, such as terrarium humus or jungle bedding, is then placed on top of this. The Hydro Fleece prevents soil from seeping between the clay granules, while allowing water to flow through without any problems.
