We developed it ourselves through trial \u0026amp; error in cultivating many tropical plants considered difficult. We use it only for particularly sensitive and valuable small plants that do not thrive in other substrates. These include, for example, Begonias like \u003cem\u003eB. darthvaderiana\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ebaik\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003echlorosticta\u003c\/em\u003e, sp. 'Umbrella' and similar, ferns like \u003cem\u003eTeratophyllum rotundifoliatum\u003c\/em\u003e, rarities like \u003cem\u003eCodonoboea\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eArdisia\u003c\/em\u003e, rheophytes like \u003cem\u003eJosefia intricata\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eHomalomena\u003c\/em\u003e sp. 'Silver' and other plants of the tropical undergrowth that grow in deep jungle in shady places or near rivers, etc. In short: All plants of the undergrowth that are generally considered \"fussy\" in cultivation receive this mix from us and grow significantly better in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASP Mix consists mainly of Akadama (pH-neutral, very fine-pored clay substrate from Japan), Aqua Soil (fine volcanic earth baked into spheres with trace elements), and Perlite (baked obsidian). To slightly lower the pH value, ASP Mix also contains Kanuma (similar to Akadama but with a more acidic pH) and plant charcoal in the form of high-quality bamboo charcoal. ASP Mix is dimensionally stable and rot-resistant and can also be used in very humid terrariums and even paludariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter potting the plants in ASP Mix, please rinse thoroughly once with osmosis water until the rinse water runs clear from the pot!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlightly pre-fertilized due to the Aqua Soil used. Slightly acidic pH. Granulation 4 - 8 mm. 1 liter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57335992615289,"sku":"Sub-ASP","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/asp-mix-01.jpg?v=1779884994","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/asp-mix-spezialsubstrat-1l","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
