🕷️ Spider Care 101: Building the Perfect Bioactive Home!

Ever wondered how to create a natural, self-sustaining habitat for your eight-legged friend? Let's break down the perfect bioactive substrate layers! 🌿

🍂 Top Layer: Natural leaf litter
• Hardwood dried leaves
• Magnolia leaves
• Almond leaves
• Banana leaves

🌱 Soil Layer (3-4 inches):
A perfect blend of:
• Coco coir
• Organic mushroom compost
• Sphagnum moss
• Orchid bark

⚫ Charcoal Layer (1/4 inch):
• Fish filter charcoal
• Horticulture charcoal
• Lump charcoal

💧 Drainage Layer (1/2 inch):

Pro Tip: Don't forget the barrier layer using landscape fabric or fiberglass mesh to keep your drainage and charcoal/soil seperate.

Why go bioactive? It creates a natural ecosystem that:
✅ Maintains proper humidity

✅ Requires less maintenance
