Hmm
could explain why mine ate their coco fiber and mostly died off but try they were wc and mostly baby’s and just 3 adults . I can’t seem to get them separated from there top soil there are a few left like 10 or less. I could go to the park and find rotting wood .🪵
Like many ranging herbivores, they will eat anything, even if it's harmful. Coir has almost no nutrient value and does not decompose easily. It's near waterproof woody fiber. It appears termites won't touch the stuff. Got a pile of coir next door that's been there over a decade. No mold, no termites, still tough fibrous gunk.
That's a paradox. Two major talking points about containments are avoiding mold and having bio-active environments. Bio-active isn't just having plants but introducing an ecosystem life cycle, an intrinsic parts of which is decomposition returning nutrients to the soil. Of course fungi are a part of the cycle.
Yes, that's why coco or peat are commonly used in hydro, they have so little nutrition and don't break down ultra fast. plus their structure is pretty decent. similar in mushroom beds, used to patch early mycelium at the top of the substrate to allow for a more robust pinset and flush
