Eco Earth® Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate is an eco friendly product made from the husks of coconuts and can be safely composted or recycled into potted plants or gardens. Ideal for naturalistic terrarium type set-ups incorporating reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates. Use it damp for tropical species as it naturally absorbs and breaks down odor and waste products. Add Eco Earth® loose coconut fiber substrate on top of Zoo Meds HydroBalls® to create an ideal drainage layer for optimum plant growth, humidity and drainage in naturalistic terrariums
