Review: Good size chunks - Nice and chunky. I create a mix for my plants with this. Imm hoping it saves my root bound spider plant that had some root rot due to soil that didn’t drain well.
Review: Love this substrate - A small amount of this expands and goes a long way. Perfect size so it doesn't get accidentally digested with their food and they don't get their food all dusty; holds moisture really well- shedding is really easy for them when using this as substrate. Really great quality for how low priced this is. Repeat buyer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm seeing mixed answers. Does this expand into chips or soil (like Eco-Earth)?**
A: This one expands into chips just as shown on the picture/packaging illustration. If you are looking for a soil-like substrate go for Exo Terra Plantation Soil.

**Q: Can this be used to repot a napenthes pitcher plant?**
A: Not sure about napenthes pitcher plant, but I used it to repot my orchids (along with bark, and some other media). The coconut husk helps keep the moisture, but at the same time drains well.

**Q: i soaked the coco husk.  do i let it dry first? it seemed i had too much water, not sure how moist to leave it.**
A: that depends on the humidity needs of your animal. In my climate, the child months are dry so I left it wet and mist it periodically. I also have arboreal animals that won't be sitting in wet substrate too. I'd squeeze it out in a towel (the color bleeds) or let it set out over night in a thin layer (cookie sheet?)  It's easier to mist it wetter than dry it out once it's in the enclosure.

**Q: Is this ground and smashed into a block or is it more chunked?  Anyone with a picture of the product instead of the wrapper?**
A: It is not really soil, it's more chunked/pieces.

The Exo Terra Coco Husk Terrarium Substrate, 8-Quart, is an exceptional choice for reptile and amphibian habitats. Made from 100% natural coconut husk, it is eco-friendly and safe for pets. I find its excellent moisture retention is ideal for species needing high humidity, while its texture promotes natural behaviors like burrowing and digging. Additionally, it offers natural odor control, is easy to clean, and versatile for various terrarium setups. The generous 8-quart size is packaged conveniently, providing great value for its quality and benefits. Overall, I think it’s a top-tier substrate for creating a healthy, enriching environment for your pets.
