Exo Terra Plantation Soil Block 8.8L

Exo Terra Plantation Soil is a natural coconut husk fibre substrate sourced from tropical Asian plantations, designed for terrariums that require reliable humidity control and a naturalistic base layer. It suits a wide range of species including frogs, salamanders, and burrowing or digging reptiles and amphibians, and is available individually or as a multi-pack for keepers who get through substrate regularly.

What It's Made From

This substrate is produced from compressed coconut husk fibre — a byproduct of tropical plantation agriculture. It is 100% natural with no synthetic additives, making it a responsible choice for bioactive and naturalistic setups alike.

Humidity and Burrowing

Plantation Soil holds moisture effectively due to its hygroscopic properties, making it well suited to tropical and humid-environment terrariums. It compacts naturally underfoot, giving burrowing and digging species a stable medium to work with without collapsing.

Incubation Use

The same moisture-retaining qualities that support high-humidity species also make this substrate suitable as an incubation medium. Its ability to hold and distribute moisture evenly is a practical advantage when used in egg incubation containers or lay boxes.

Live Plants and Bioactive Setups

Plantation Soil can support live plant growth within a terrarium, functioning as a nutritional planting substrate. This makes it a straightforward choice for keepers building bioactive or planted enclosures who want a single substrate layer that works for both fauna and flora.

Available as a single bag or in a 3-pack, Plantation Soil suits everything from a single species setup to regular substrate changes across multiple enclosures — choose the option that fits your maintenance routine.
