Southern Palm Leaves are a biodegradable material for bioactive substrate. The leaves are stringy and fibrous, and they break down to provide organic nutrition in a vivarium. They are leaves and fronds with cut-up stalks included, not bark.
To use them in a vivarium, place the palm leaves on top of the substrate. Add leaf litter over them if you like. The leaves form small feeding stations, which makes them useful in frog grow-outs. To collect the microfauna, pull a leaf and shake it. Springtails and isopods fall right off.
