Temperate White Springtails are a hardy, adaptable cleanup crew well suited for cooler or less tropical bioactive environments. Unlike Tropical White Springtails, this species performs exceptionally well at room temperatures and tolerates slightly drier conditions while still efficiently breaking down mold, waste, and decaying organic matter.

Premium Culture Container (What Sets Ours Apart)

Unlike typical springtail offerings that arrive in small 2-oz deli cups or ramekins, Tiny Green Tails cultures are established in a high-quality 8-oz container designed to support continued growth after arrival. Each culture includes 50 - 100+ springtails.

Each culture is housed in a bioactive-ready environment, not temporary shipping media. The container includes: Bioactive substrate blend, Hardwood pellets, Natural charcoal, Leaf litter and Supplemental food source.

This setup allows the culture to remain active, stable, and productive upon arrival and can be used as a temporary enclosure to grow and expand the colony before seeding your habitat.

Why This Matters

• Less stress on the culture during shipping
• Immediate feeding and habitat support
• Higher survival and reproduction rates
• Ideal for scaling your springtail population
• No rush to transfer on arrival

You’re not just receiving springtails — you’re receiving a working micro-ecosystem.
