Osmosis
For passionate terrascapers, water quality is a crucial factor for the success of their miniature ecosystems. RO water, which has been freed of pollutants and unwanted minerals through the process of reverse osmosis, is the ideal choice here.
Why use RO water for terrascaping?
Terrascapes and Wabi-Kusas thrive best in an environment free of chlorine, heavy metals and other contaminants. RO water provides exactly that – a pure base that supports plant growth and promotes the development of microorganisms.
The benefits of RO water at a glance:
- Pollutant-free water: RO water helps prevent the accumulation of potentially harmful substances, which is essential for sensitive plants and the health of the microfauna.
- Controlled nutrient supply: Since RO water is low in minerals and nutrients, terrascapers can control the exact amount and composition of the nutrients they want to give their plants. RO water also no longer contains any chlorine.
- Prevention of limescale deposits: Unlike hard tap water, RO water leaves no residues that could impair the clarity of the terrarium glass.
- Carnivorous plants: Carnivorous plants should only be watered with rainwater or RO water, as they are very sensitive to lime.
In terrascaping, RO water can be used for the initial filling as well as for regular water changes. It is ideal for setting up rainforest terrariums or terrariums with an aquatic section, such as a paludarium, as it ensures stable water quality.
RO water can easily be produced at home with a reverse osmosis system. These units filter tap water and remove most of the dissolved solids, resulting in pure water that is ideal for your terrascaping.
RO water is an indispensable component for anyone who wants to create a controlled environment in their terrascape.
