Neanura growae (Florida Orange Springtails)- 4oz deli cup culture

 Neanura growae, commonly known as Florida Orange Springtails, are small, soil-dwelling organisms beneficial for maintaining soil health. These springtails contribute to the decomposition process, aiding nutrient cycling by breaking down organic matter. Their presence can enhance soil aeration and improve water retention, supporting robust plant growth.

Unlike white springtails which we normally keep on charcoal,  we keep this species in a sealed container with ABG or similar soil. We sterilize( bake the soil before hand to ensure no pests) the ABG soils first and add leaf litter. They don’t eat yeast but prefer wet vegetables in particular apple once a week along with carrot. Mist but don’t wet soil as they can utilize soil that is soggy. We keep at room temp it up to 70- 77F . 

    With over 60% protein, they provide a nutritious meal for your pets and act as a cleaning crew. A must-have for any terrarium or vivarium setup. 

These Springtails come in an 4oz deli cup.
