Product Details

My unique blend of clay powder developed specifically for culturing springtails. Clay is the easiest culturing method to harvest from, simply tilt the culture and tap them out.

-

Just add water! Mix the clay powder thoroughly with the specified ratio of water in a separate bowl then spread the clay mixture on the bottoms and side of a lidded deli cup or airtight container. See the guide at www.springtails.us/care-guides.

-

1lb of clay can make roughly 12 8oz deli cup cultures or 2 32oz deli cup cultures, the exact quantity varies by the thickness that you apply the clay. 

-

This is a CALCIUM BEARING clay. Calcium bearing clay is the standard for use with feeder springtails.

-

TWO parts clay to ONE part water is the optimal consistency. Distilled or purified water is preferred.

Good stuff. I find the 2:1 clay to water ratio to be just a tad thick for my purposes so I just add a bit more water until it's gloppy enough and then blorp it into my containers. It spreads really well on the sides and levels out nicely with just a tap on the counter, and my springtail colonies are doing fantastically. I can see them easily on it, and collect them easily without losing any substrate or adding things to my isopod cultures that I didn't want in there. So far I have used about half the bag to make five new cultures and I expect I can make another five or six...really good value!
