Exo Terra Coco Husk Terrarium Substrate, 8-Quart

Exo Terra Coco Husk Terrarium Substrate, 8-Quart

Q: I'm seeing mixed answers. Does this expand into chips or soil (like Eco-Earth)?

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?

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.

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?

It is not really soil, it's more chunked/pieces.
