Limestone granules (16oz)

Ensure a durable and continuous calcium supply to your ecosystem with La Swamp Limestone Granules! This premium mineral amendment is made of natural calcium carbonate in granular form. It is the ideal solution to enrich the soil of bioactive terrariums and provide an essential mineral source for the health of your invertebrates.

Presented in a generous 16 oz size, this product slowly releases over time through the action of moisture and microfauna. Unlike fine powders that wash away quickly, the granules offer long-term stability, preventing excessive substrate acidification while strengthening your colonies.

Key Features

✅ Slow-release calcium source — Provides a continuous supply of minerals, essential for isopod molting and the strength of their shells.

✅ Natural pH stabilizer — Helps buffer soil acidity caused by the decomposition of organic matter (dead leaves, bark).

✅ Substrate aeration — Its granular texture prevents soil compaction, promoting better oxygenation of roots and soil.

✅ Long-lasting durability — Remains present and active in the terrarium much longer than ultra-fine powdered calcium.

✅ Economical 16 oz size — An excellent quantity to treat large tanks or supply several dozen breeding containers.

Usage (Mixing Tips)

1️⃣ In base mix (Substrate): Evenly incorporate 2 to 3 tablespoons of granules per liter of substrate when preparing your bioactive mix.

2️⃣ As surface topping (Egg-laying/molt area): Sprinkle a handful of granules directly under cork bark pieces or in damp corners. Isopods will nibble the granules according to their physiological needs.

3️⃣ For breeding containers: Ideal to mix into reptile egg-laying boxes to encourage females to lay eggs in a mineral-rich and healthy environment.

Tips & Parameters

🍂 The favorite of major isopod breeders — A simple and effective way to ensure your Porcellio, Armadillidium, and Cubaris never run out of calcium for their successive molts.

🦎 Ideal for reptiles and amphibians — Helps recreate limestone-rich soil conditions similar to many natural habitats.

🌱 Tropical plant health — Calcium strengthens plant cell walls, making them more resistant to diseases and humidity fluctuations.
