Plantation Soil, 8 Qt (8.8 L)

So I read a lot of the reviews, and I just want to say. Yes it took a while to absorb the water...but if you use hot water and the amount it says to (3liters) and actually wait the 30+ minutes...it does expand and it's pretty decent quality. Holds humidity EXTREMELY well. So if you re using it for something that requires good humidity this is your go to for sure.

This is good soil and there is a lot of it per brick. It really expands. It's good to store, compact and dry. Overall useful. Though, it is pretty difficult to break up. I spent over an hour breaking it up, so I imagine you could get around that by soaking it for several hours before messing with it. Still, the brick is pretty dense. It worked for my purposes but it takes some work to prepare.

The old turtle couldn't be happier. The soil stores well and it's decent to work with and maintain for his large pen.

My Brazilian Rainbow Boa loves this. When she was little, she especially loved tunneling down into it. I recommend a good 3or 4 inches of depth at least or more if tunneling. It really holds moisture and helps to keep the humidity high enough for her. It’s easily transferable, so be mindful when taking things out of the tank, as it will get on you and the floor. But it’s great value as you can scoop out waste and it stay pretty clean. If it gets too dry you can always revive it with water. I mix some with Forest Floor for my Python and although he doesn’t need high humidity, he does need some & this works very well. I’ve tried other brands and gotten springtails each time. (Makes me itchy just remembering) so I’m not doing that again. This is clean and inexpensive and lasts and lasts. Very happy.

We have used Zoo med for the last 3 years & loved it. I bought this stuff thinking it would be the same but it was not. We soaked this for hours and it never expanded. It was incredibly hard to break apart. With zoo med we can fill our Russian Tortoises enclosure ( 6' x 4') with 3 bricks. We have used all 5 bricks if this nasty stuff and our poor Tortoise only has about 1/4 of what she usually does. It is really stringy and not soft! Obviously I can't return this after soaking it. We are going to dump it out & make sure we only buy the zoo med brand!

I ordered two of these and after reconstituting one it was more than enough. This is an excellent substrate, I'm using it for a 1/3 grown red knee tarantula.

I bought this for a snail terrarium and watched lots of videos on online of people using this product and I think overall my experience was a lot different. All the videos I watched people just put it in water and it started to expand...and that’s exactly what the instructions say to do, just put the block in water and in 30 minutes it will expand. But my block did not expand within 30 minutes so I started to poke at it and then an hour passed and nothing. So I literally had to shred the block with scissors and continuously pour water directly onto it and here I am 2 hours in with just about 1/3 of the block turned into usable soil. The soil is just fine but the instructions made it seem so simple... so just something to note, plan for more than 30 minutes

I love it and I will buy it again great price!

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

Super!

Usato per le piante in vaso e fa il suo dovere

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.
