    Funny how humid reptile substrates and plant bedding/compost are almost always good for each other.

      @@PhillWyattProjects Yep, orchid bark, topsoil, coconut husk, coconut fibre, cypress mulch, some sphagnum moss as a topper, these are all substrates used for reptiles who need higher humidity, obviously they're a lot more clean and sterile for the health of the reptile normally.

    Thanks for the great video! If you don’t use all the coconut coir soil right away, will it store okay even though it’s moist? Thanks! 🌴

      Thanks 👍🏻 I'm not sure about that actually. I would only hydrate what I need.

      it will just dry up and when you're ready to use it again, re-hydrate it.
      However, since it's possible to use a partial brick by breaking of pieces that you want to hydrate, you can do that as well, to keep the remaining unused coir in its brick form.

    Maybe i have done it wrong. I used a saw to cut the brick in very small pieces, mixed it with normal soil. Then add it in a fabric pot. My plant grows fine. But i dont know this trick is better? :)

      It depends on how far you live from the coconut trees that they harvested the coir from.
