Please Be Aware of Extreme Weather and High Temperatures. Springtails have proven tolerant of cool conditions but can quickly perish if exposed to heat for any significant length of time. Please be aware of weather conditions before placing your order. If ordering when temperatures are high, consider having your box held for pick-up at your PO using this link: https://www.usps.com/manage/hold-mail.htm, or be certain that the box will be taken inside immediately upon arrival…

Description
Feeding out is quick and easy – just turn up the cup and tap out the springtails. Every order comes with detailed instructions on caring for and making the most of your cultures. When maintained properly, these cultures reliably produce copious numbers of springtails for many months.
Our cultures contain over 200% of the livable surface area compared to similar clay cultures in the same size containers. We take the time to carefully spread the clay up the sides of each culture. We also apply the clay in a way to produce plenty of texture (mountains and valleys if you’re a springtail) to further increase productive living area. These extra steps improve culture productivity and longevity.

We also offer Calcium Bearing Clay Springtail Media along with our cultures to make your own springtail cultures! The clay comes in powder form. 1 pound of clay will make about 5 cultures in 8 oz deli cups. We recommend using at least 3 oz of the clay powder to make one 8 oz culture for longer lasting, more productive cultures. Each order with the clay media comes with instructions on how to make springtail cultures.

Frog & Frond’s springtail cultures are hands-down the best ones available. Booming upon arrival, and still going strong months later. You cannot go wrong with these!

I have tried a quite a few different places for springtail cultures and these are by far the best of the best! Not only are they priced the best. You will never get a springtail culture that isn’t anything but BOOMING when they arrive. I will not order from anyone else. Frog and Frond is amazing!!
