SA Substrate Ball
SA Substrate Ball
Designed for wabi kusa - handmade in studio, the SA Substrate Ball boasts superior water retention, anti-fungal properties, and a nutrient-rich core.
The SA Substrate Ball does not disintegrate like DIY counterparts, nor does it mold – thanks to its natural anti-fungal coating. Place it into a dish or shallow vessel as an emergent wabi kusa - or fully submerge it in your aquarium for unique aquascaping opportunities. It will perform the same.
Hand-wrapped in the highest attainable grade of ethically-sourced New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, the SA Substrate Ball has consistent water retention, wicking water upwards to plants growing above the surface.
