• Suitable Environments: Sticky Soil is specially designed for use in terrariums and paludariums, making it perfect for creating landscapes and planted environments in these settings. It is important to note that Sticky Soil should be used above the water level in these environments.

• Shaping and Molding: Mold the Sticky Soil to achieve the desired shape and structure. Its flexible nature allows you to create unique landscapes and structures that were previously not possible. Get creative and experiment with different shapes and designs.
• Building Retaining Walls and Landscape Profiles: Utilize Sticky Soil to construct retaining walls for terrariums or paludariums. You can also use it to create landscape profiles, adding dimension and visual interest to your planted environment.
• Planting Process: When planting on Sticky Soil, you can use pinsetters or small tools to easily position your plants. Ensure proper compactness and stability by gently pressing the soil around the roots. This helps the plants establish a strong hold and promotes healthy growth.
• Moisture Preservation: To maintain optimal moisture levels, it is recommended to cover the areas without plants with moss. This additional layer helps retain moisture within the Sticky Soil, creating a favorable environment for plant growth.
• Watering and Moisture Control: It is crucial to keep the Sticky Soil consistently wet to preserve its properties and support healthy plant growth. Use a misting bottle or spray to evenly distribute water over the Sticky Soil surface. Regularly monitor the moisture level and adjust watering accordingly to ensure the substrate remains moist.
• Storage: If you have any unused Sticky Soil, make sure to wrap it in plastic or use an airtight container to keep it fresh and maintain its properties. Proper storage helps prevent drying out and ensures the product is ready for future use.
