What is NPK soil??
When i was overseas..i always used a mixture of peat and pure potting soil (no funny bits and pieces in there) for dendrobates.

Hello.
Thank you for the answers.
Fei Miao: Yes, it is dart frogs. Mine Vivarium will keep Dart frogs and phelsuma (but we will talk about this later)Originally Posted by Fei Miao
Because i dont want to be every time fertilizing i want to put this as soil:
Humus of earthworm:
Laterit:
Turf:
N-P-K- Granulat:
And on the top some rind of pine.
Thank You
i think the NPK granules are okay on the BASE.. i would keep away form the pine rind as a top layer.. If you are unlucky and get a batch of pine that is not properly treated they exude oils that are irritating to the skin of such animals..
Thanks for the pics. Yes, put all those stuff, NPK, earthworm humus..etc... at the bottom layer and top it with a good layer of coco peat, I think that should be fine, have these areas away from the wet section.... wouldn't want to risk harming those critters, would you?
On fertilizing, if you keep ferns, they don't need much fertilizing, I read somewhere banana peel have a high level of potassium and ferns like that> occasionally I cutted up banana peels for my potted ferns... now that's organic ..
