did u make sure that the soil you bouight from home depot does not have any fertalizers? if it does its going to be harmful to your frogs.
Oh noo I think I did the same thing in my tanks too. Thats the stuff that comes in a brick right?? Unless I keep my glass top closed it is so hard to get it so stay moist!snmreptiles said:Thanks mindcrash, that could be my problem. How I posted on misting and that my substrate always seemed soggy...its straight expandable coco fiber. I'll have to give the orchid mix a try. Thank you :wink:

I have also used it for my potted plants, it does work great. I also didn't let it dry out at all before I used it in my terrariums.drunknmunky said:the ground coconut fiber is an interesting substrate. For my frogs, i mixed in coconut chips and gravel and that works great in the terrarium, but for some of my potted plants, i used nothing but the straight fiber and it works great there too. I think it all depends on how tightly you pack it and how long you let it dry before you plant in it.
