Bakuli pods create essential microhabitats within bioactive substrates, offering isopods and springtails secure shelter while simultaneously enriching the soil ecosystem. As they naturally decompose, bakuli release valuable nutrients that support microbial colonies and plant growth. Their textured surfaces and hollow chambers trigger foraging and exploratory behaviors, promoting the biological activity that defines a thriving vivarium. Particularly valued by springtail cultivators, bakuli pods are a reliable harvest substrate for establishing robust soil cultures.
