IIS
System Now you can have the moss covered background you always dreamt of. Dusk Tropic has developed a system for backgrounds in terrariums, vivariums and other growing cabinets. The concept is called IIS and stands for Integrated Irrigation System. This system is totally self watering and suits all kinds of epiphytic plants. There are several modules and branches that you can add to get a more complete system that fits your taste. These modules and branches are easily attached to the background. Once attached they are also part of the irrigate system. EpiWebs structure and other characteristic, together with the specific moss mix makes this system 100 % effective. It gives mosses, ferns, orchids and other sensitive tropical species the optimal growth environment. The background modules are complete and ready to attach in all kind of terrariums with a waterproof* back piece. There are silent pumps that suits the system. We will have this system and its components available to order shortly. |

Dartfrog
is pleased to announce the introduction of EpiWeb® to
the UK - a brand new advanced growth substrate for the 21st century,
this product can be used both in the vivarium or in horticulture.
Developed by Swedish company Dusk Tropic to address both the decline
of and demand for the fibrous substrate product of the tree fern
(Dicksonia)
known as xaxim. For over 200 years, xaxim has been considered the best substrate
in the cultivation of orchids. The lengthy biodegradation time, water & air
retention properties have long been considered to be its great advantages. EpiWeb® possesses
the same qualities as Dicksonia but with additional advantages which
other substrates touted as the 'perfect substitutes' are lacking. Made of 70%
recycled plastics and being 100% toxic-free, EpiWeb® will
never decompose and can be sterilized and re-used multiple times. It is available
in a range of formats from panels to loose substrate and pots. Below are the
range of EpiWeb® products that we are offering. Also the EpiWeb we stock is now UV-resistant.
