Exo Terra Plantation Soil, Coconut Fibre Terrarium Substrate Brick, 8.8L

Good great vale of money definitely recommend bigger than I thought and it’s not some cheap stuff super easy to clean out as well and

Worth the money i would buy again

Good

One brick worked perfectly the other would not soak any water up and had to be broken up by hand just to be able to use. That’s the only reason for 4 stars otherwise a great product

This product is so easy to use just fill the sink with water and let it all soak in the side of the block looks small but once it has all soaked you get a lot for your money it’s versatile once wet and breaks down easily and it’s so easy to clean . I currently have a snail hospital so it can get messy this helps is to maintain the cleanliness of the environment and it’s definitely great value for money .

Good product

I read the other reviews about this substrate and they were mixed, some really good, others really bad, so took a chance. I wish I hadn't. I put the brick into a container, added the suggested amount of water, and watched for a few minutes. Previous coir bricks I've bought have begun to fluff up within seconds, but not this one. I left it 20 minutes; it was wet on the bottom but still solid so I turned it over. Left it 2 hours. Still solid, turned it on its side and left it for the rest of the day. Still solid, so I went to bed. Next morning no change. I had to physically pull it apart which happened almost in slices, so I floated the slices in the water and left them for another hour or so. After that the only thing I could do with these still solid and completely non-absorbent lumps was try to break them up manually, making my fingers sore and giving my hands cramp in the process. Even broken down into the smallest lumps I could manage those lumps were still not soaking up any water, at which point I gave up with it and ordered a different brand.

Great texture and quality

Really good product, good quality. My plants are really liking it!

I mixed one brick of this brand with one brick of Zilla brand. They make a nice mixture, but I ended up just switching to two of these a month and cancelling Zilla. They're both good quality, but Eco Terra is a slightly better value for the price. They both cover a quite large amount of space once expanded. This set up is only 2 bricks. I just change it once a month when I get the monthly subscription, works well. Easy to clean when you just replace it regularly. No weird smell thankfully. Neutral. My toads enjoy burrowing in this soil. I personally find it easy to use. I'm not going to lie, buying loose soil is obviously the easier option, but if your want the best value, chances are that's gonna be a compacted brick. You really have to weigh price vs. convenience and accept that though bricks are cheaper, they take a little more time and effort to set up. They don't expand immediately, you have to wait and you do have to work it with your hands or some tools. I find it still worth the buy. If you can afford the loose variety, then bricks may not be your cup of tea. They save me money, so they're ok by me. It's a little time consuming to set up, but not overly complicated.

It's very good coco soil. Not too stringy like I was afraid it might be. My rats had no issues with it. I was pleasantly surprised at the quantity it gave once it fully absorbed the water. I couldn't even make it fit in my biggest tupperware I had. I'd say it gives about the same of a 8.8l sac of dirt. Which is plenty. I did notice the price went from 8$cad to 12.58$cad but for the quantity it gives and the quality I'm not complaining.

Buona. L’acquisto ogni anno. Bisogna sapere dosare bene l’acqua, altrimenti potrebbe essere un disastro.

Not good quality bits of stones in the mix
