The ideal planting media for making wabi kusa since 2019. No mess. No mold. Long-term success in a handcrafted package. Start a wabi kusa the right way.
Handmade in studio, the SA Substrate Ball boasts superior water retention, anti-fungal properties, and a nutrient-rich core – all wrapped into a 3” diameter package.
The SA Substrate Ball does not disintegrate like lesser DIY counterparts, nor does it mold – thanks to its anti-fungal coating. Place it into a dish or shallow vessel as an emergent wabi kusa - or fully submerge it in your aquarium for unique aquascaping opportunities. It will perform the same.
Hand-wrapped in the highest attainable grade of ethically-sourced New Zealand Sphagnum Moss, the SA Substrate Ball has consistent water retention, wicking water upwards to plants growing above the surface.
