Engineered for humidity, hydration, and thriving bioactive ecosystems.
IslandBiome™ is a high-biology habitat soil engineered to recreate the humid, nutrient-cycling forest floors of tropical island rainforests. Designed for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that thrive under sustained humidity, this substrate creates a living soil system that regulates moisture naturally.
Unlike straight coco, peat, or generic tropical blends that oversaturate or collapse, IslandBiome™ maintains air-filled pore space even under constant hydration. Plant roots breathe. Microbes thrive. Clean-up crews function continuously.
Why It Works
• Water Retention – Hydrates evenly without anaerobic conditions
• Aeration – Coir and leaf litter prevent compaction
• Nutrient Cycling – Compost and biochar enable slow-release feeding
• pH Stability – Buffered minerals match tropical soil chemistry
• Microbial Ecology – Leaf mold fuels fungi and bacteria

Biome Replication Technology™
APSU Soil™ rebuilds soil systems rather than selling inert substrate. IslandBiome™ replicates real hydration cycles, pore structure, microbial exchange, and organic turnover — creating a rainforest floor that stays alive.
