## Summary description

Dux Ducis WIO Pale Artist Wetland is a 5 kg bag of light planting sand substrate designed for use with wetland and aquatic plants, terrariums, paludariums and decorative planting. The coarse, inert sand improves drainage, stabilizes roots and provides a natural-looking base layer for planting and aquascaping. Suitable for hobbyists and professional plant arrangements.

## Long description

Dux Ducis WIO Pale Artist Wetland is a 5 kg bag of light, coarse sand formulated as a planting substrate for wetland and aquatic plants, terrariums, paludariums and decorative planting. The inert mineral composition provides a stable, natural-looking base layer that improves drainage and root anchorage while remaining chemically neutral so it does not alter water parameters. This sand is intended for use as a foundational layer in planted setups where physical support and water movement are important.
Advantages
The coarse grain structure promotes effective drainage and prevents compaction, helping roots access oxygen and preventing stagnation. As an inert substrate, the sand does not contain added nutrients or binders, so it preserves the intended chemical balance of soils and aquatic systems. Its pale colour creates a neutral, natural background that highlights plant foliage and decorative elements. The 5 kg packaging offers a manageable quantity for small to medium projects and hobby applications.
Suitable for
Paludariums and wetland displays
Aquatic plant beds and planted tanks
Terrarium base layers and drainage zones
Decorative surface in pots and landscape accents
Key specifications
Weight: 5 kg bag
Texture: coarse, granular sand
Colour: pale, natural tone
Chemical composition: inert mineral substrate (no added fertilizers)
Function: drainage improvement, root stabilization, base layer for planting
How to use
Rinse the sand thoroughly before first use to remove dust and fines. Place a 1–5 cm base layer depending on container depth and plant type; thicker layers are suitable for deeper-rooting specimens and aquascapes. For aquaria or paludariums, position the sand beneath richer substrate sections if nutrient sources are required for plants. Combine with root tabs or separate nutrient layers when planting species that need fertilization, and gently cover plant roots with sand to avoid disturbance. Replace or top up the sand as part of routine maintenance if compaction or sedimentation occurs.
Usage recommendations
Use this sand in conjunction with appropriate nutrient sources for planted systems: because the substrate is inert it will not supply minerals. For aquatic environments, perform an initial slow fill to avoid disturbing the substrate, and monitor water clarity after installation. Suitable for hobbyists and professionals seeking a neutral, stable base for wetland and aquatic planting.
