Hello All

I would like to plant some seeds in Hermy's enclosure, Does anyone of you know if the plant will grow well if I plant the seed in the plantation soil made by Exo terra (made of coconut husk fibre)?

Thanks

Isa,
I use coco fiber in my indoor day gecko planted terrariums with great success. I actually use a product similar to Exo terra that is sold by Black Jungle Terrarium supply. The only problem is that the coco fiber does not have much nutrition and the so the seedlings will run out of energy soon after germinating. I suggest using a safe organic based fertilizer that you mix with the water when you expand the coco fiber. Hope this helps.

I believe as time goes by Hermy will provide more and more fertilizer and plants will grow better but for now bryan12741 suggestion has merit.

How about mixing in Vermiculite, Peat or Peat Moss for added organic nutrition?

I mixed it with a little top soil, leaf litter and forest floor, by Zoo Med.
