Fresh Premium Sphagnum Moss In Classic Green/Brown
Rated 4.92 out of 5
From: £4.00
We handpick our gorgeous Sphagnum moss from our exclusive sites in the North of Scotland. In these locations there are forestry operations, so we carefully pick our moss before these areas are disturbed by the machinery.

We also spread our picking around our sites so as not to overpick any specific area.

We have Sphagnum moss in either our ‘classic’ green/brown or natural stunning pink varieties.
- Make your own moss pole, we recommend about 250g per 30cm of pole you want to make.
- Use in your substrate mixes – for example, mix it with sand to make the perfect carnivorous plant soil.
- Use as a layer in your terrarium as a natural alternative to mesh above the drainage layer.
- Ideal for propagation – especially ‘string’ plants like string of hearts, string of pearls etc
You can see an example of it in the photos and in our YouTube moss pole installation guide here

Please note that as this is natural moss there will be some variances in colour.

The moss looks wonderful when paired with one of our green or pink moss poles.

Fresh moss is also super useful for propagation – see the photos for an example where the moss helped my variegated string of hearts cuttings produce roots. We also have a video on IGTV here

Please note that for larger quantities (20kg+) it may take us a few extra days to process this order

Cactus and Succulent Potting Soil
Rated 4.95 out of 5
From: £5.00
Ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your succulents, cacti, and other low-maintenance plants with our Premium Succulent and Cacti Potting Mix. This high-quality soil blend is specifically formulated to provide the perfect balance of aeration, drainage, and nutrients, which are crucial for preventing root rot and promoting healthy growth.

Why Quality Soil Matters:

Succulents, cacti, and similar plants are naturally adapted to thrive in well-draining, nutrient-poor soils. Using a premium potting mix ensures that excess water drains quickly, preventing the roots from sitting in moisture, which is the primary cause of root rot. Our mix is designed to mimic the natural environments of these plants, providing them with the conditions they need to flourish.

Ideal for Repotting:

This potting mix is perfect for repotting a wide variety of plants, including:
- Succulents like Echeveria, Aloe, Haworthia, and Sedum
- Cacti such as Mammillaria, Opuntia, Ferocactus, and Rebutia
- ZZ Plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
- Snake Plants (Sansevieria)
- Jade Plants (Crassula ovata)
- Agave
- Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)
- String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)
- Burro’s Tail (Sedum morganianum)
- Panda Plant (Kalanchoe tomentosa)
- Euphorbia species such as Euphorbia trigona

Isopods Clean-up Crew For Bio-Active Terrarium Vivarium
Rated 5.00 out of 5
From: £3.00
We offer 24-hour shipping. Please open the parcel immediately upon receipt. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, such as heat or cold, and direct sunlight. If the isopods don’t move please leave them in a suitable environment (warm and dark spot) for a few hours as sometimes they play dead when disturbed. Please DO NOT soak in water, move into extremely hot environment or try to spread their legs with tweezers. Mock dead is pretty common and natural for the species which we breed.

Optimal temperature for the isopods is 21-27°C. During cold weather please add a Heatpacks. Isopods purchased without the heatpack are excluded from our refund policy when arriving dead.

Our Isopds come in a 4oz (7.5cm x 4.7cm x 4.5cm) paper pulp container with a lid. You will receive isopods, mixed species, colours and sizes. The quantity is sufficient for one medium-sized terrarium such as the one linked here.

What are Isopods?

Isopods are members of the crustacean family, which includes also crabs, shrimp and lobsters. These small, land-dwelling arthropods have segmented bodies, with multiple legs and antennae. Their exoskeletons offer protection, and they come in a variety of colours and sizes, making them visually appealing additions to any terrarium and mossarium.

The Role of Isopods in Terrariums

Isopods play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem within a terrarium. They are detritivores, meaning they feed on decaying organic matter, such as fallen leaves, dead plants, and faecal matter. In other words, clean your terrariums and mossariums! They help in the decomposition process and release essential nutrients back into the soil.

Additionally, isopods aerate the substrate as they burrow, promoting healthier root growth for plants. Their constant activity also benefits the terrarium’s microfauna, as they become a source of food for various creatures, like small reptiles and amphibians.

- Common Hook Moss (Cratoneium commutatum)
This moss is also often known as fern moss, silky forklet moss, glittering wood moss or stairstep moss.
