### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Isopods..
*by J***. on July 4, 2026*

Good amount. Works well for coverage in an isopod culture. Very thick. Some are very pointy & sharp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp
*by K***R on July 11, 2026*

Nice leaf litter, watch out though, it will stab your fingers lol

### ⭐ DIRTY AND STINKY (RASH???)
*by L***Y on August 26, 2026*

Covered in dust and fungus and dead insects. FOUL odor. Poor quality. Don't waste your money. Most of the leaves are small in size and I stabbed myself on the spikes. Good quantity. That's it tho. UPDATE: was rinsing the leaves to try and clean them (10 cycles and they're still dirty)... And now my arms have broken out into a red RASH!!?!??!!!!!!
