IslandBiome™
IslandBiome™ is a biologically active habitat soil built to replicate the humid, moisture-balanced forest floors found in tropical island rainforests. It’s designed for plants and systems that require consistent hydration, breathable structure, and stable humidity without waterlogging or compaction.
IslandBiome™ is engineered using our Biome Replication Technology™, a process that studies how tropical soils function in nature and rebuilds those systems in a reusable substrate. When moisture retention, airflow, and organic structure are balanced from the start, water distributes evenly and roots remain healthy in high-humidity environments.
This blend holds moisture consistently while staying open and breathable. Coco coir and leaf-based materials manage hydration, compost and leaf mold contribute natural soil structure, and biochar supports long-term stability without trapping excess water.
IslandBiome™ is well suited for tropical plants, amphibians, reptiles, and bioactive rainforest enclosures where humidity control and soil function are critical. It performs reliably in terrariums, paludariums, containers, and tropical-style plantings.
Built to behave like real tropical forest ground, IslandBiome™ provides a living, resilient foundation that supports healthy roots, active biology, and predictable moisture behavior over time.
-
Coco Coir - Forms the moisture-holding backbone of the mix, keeping hydration consistent without becoming waterlogged.
Compost - Provides organic structure and supports active biological processes that help the soil function as a living system.
Leaf Mold & Leaf Litter - Create the spongy, humus-rich texture found on tropical forest floors, helping regulate moisture and support microfauna.
Moss Components - Contribute gentle water retention and surface humidity control without sealing off airflow.
Biochar - Improves long-term soil stability and provides habitat for beneficial microorganisms without increasing moisture saturation.

IslandBiome™ is a tropical habitat soil designed to replicate the humid, biologically active forest floors of island rainforests. It’s built for environments where moisture is constant, airflow is critical, and soil must remain stable under high humidity.
IslandBiome™ is well suited for tropical plants, amphibians, reptiles, and bioactive enclosures that depend on consistent hydration and active soil biology. It supports live plants, clean-up crews, and natural behaviors without compacting or turning anaerobic.
This substrate is designed to function as part of a living system, not just a planting medium.
-
IslandBiome™ works because it’s built around how tropical soils manage water and air, not around forcing drainage or holding excess moisture.
Even Moisture Distribution - Coir, leaf-based materials, and moss hold water evenly throughout the profile instead of pooling at the bottom.
Breathable Structure - Organic layering and varied particle sizes keep air moving through the root zone, even in high-humidity environments.
Biological Activity - This mix supports microbial life and microfauna that help regulate decomposition and soil function over time.
Tropical-Accurate Behavior - IslandBiome™ behaves like real rainforest ground — soft, resilient, and biologically active — rather than compacted soil or soggy substrate.
Because our soil is balanced from the start, IslandBiome™ remains stable, predictable, and easy to manage with minimal adjustment.

IslandBiome™ is a biologically active habitat soil designed to replicate the humid, moisture-balanced forest floors of tropical island rainforests. Made from coco coir, compost, leaf litter, moss, leaf mold, and biochar, it supports consistent hydration, airflow, and active biology without waterlogging.
Produced using our Biome Replication Technology™, IslandBiome™ is balanced to manage moisture naturally while staying open and breathable. The mix supports plants, microfauna, and bioactive systems and is ready to use straight out of the bag in terrariums, enclosures, or tropical plantings.
