Tropical Rainforest Habitat Soil

Engineered for humidity, hydration, and thriving bioactive ecosystems.

IslandBiome™ is designed to replicate the lush, nutrient-rich floors of tropical island rainforests, where humidity is high, moisture cycles are stable, and life depends on biologically active soil. Built for reptiles and amphibians such as Crested Geckos, Day Geckos, Dart Frogs, Tree Frogs, Chameleons, and Anoles, this substrate provides exceptional water retention, aeration, and organic structure—supporting healthy skin, hydration, respiration, shedding, and enrichment behaviors.

Unlike basic coco or topsoil blends that compact or oversaturate, IslandBiome™ forms a living rainforest floor capable of supporting live plants, beneficial microbes, and bioactive cleanup crews. It regulates humidity naturally while encouraging burrowing, climbing, and natural interaction with the environment.

Why It Works

The balanced blend of coco coir, compost, leaf litter, and moss holds moisture evenly while preventing compaction. Biochar and leaf mold stimulate nutrient cycling and microbial development, while dolomite-limed acidity matches true tropical soil chemistry.

The result is a stable ecosystem that thrives with minimal intervention—allowing plants to grow vigorously and decomposers to sustain health and cleanliness.

Water Retention Hydrates evenly without waterlogging
Aeration & Root Structure Coir + leaf litter prevent compaction
Nutrient Cycling Biochar + compost enable slow-release feeding
pH Balance Dolomite stabilizes slightly acidic tropical pH
Microbial Ecology Leaf mold fuels beneficial fungi + bacteria

Biome Replication Technology™

APSU Soil™ rebuilds natural soil systems using real-world biome sampling and ecological modeling—replicating hydration cycles, pore networks, nutrient exchange, and microbial structure rather than relying on fertilizers or artificial stabilizers.
