Description
The WabiKusa Substrate Balls, also called Dirt Balls, are handmade basic balls for the uncomplicated creation of Wabi-Kusa, the composition of which the Czech manufacturer OPAquatics has optimised through months of testing. They contain only natural materials and a durable substrate mixture. Contrary to the assumption that might be raised by the name Dirt Balls, the composition of the Substrate Balls does not cloud the water and does not change its pH-value.
The Substrate Balls offer a nice possibility to create single Wabi-Kusa or to set up several Wabi-Kusa Balls as preparation for a large aquascape.

In terrascapes, the Substrate Balls can equally be used to cultivate emersed aquatic plants (growing above the surface), as the materials used in the Dirt Balls are very good water reservoirs as well as transporters.

Plants that are very well suited for cultivation in the WabiKusa Substrate Balls are, for example, the not very demanding Bacopa monnieri 'Compact', Hydrocotyle leucocephala oder Juncus repens as well as most mosses. But even more demanding aquatic plants can be kept without any problems with the help of Dirt Balls if they are provided with the appropriate care - always moist Substrate Ball and high humidity.
Basic tips on setting up and caring for a Wabi kusa can be found in our Aquascaping-Wiki and specifically for the OPAquatics Substate Balls in the operating instructions.

Ist sein Geld wert
Der Wabikusa Ball ist absolut empfehlenswert.
Wer keine Lust auf rumgematsche mit Soil hat, ist hier genau richtig.
Der Ball sollte mindestens 4 Std gewässert werden und kann anschließend bepflanzt werden.
