Substrate for 1 year old greek

[ismail]

I was told that i need to increase the humidity in my setup and int he greek forum i was suggested that maybe i need to change substrate. Currently i am using plain compost, sand and oyster shells for my greeks. where i live i cannot find topsoil or cococoir, so I went around the internet and found these substrates from eco terra can be shipped. They are marketed as good in increasing humidity : forest bark, coco husk, jungle earth, plantation soil.

anyone experienced them already could share his experience? any recommendation on which one i should use or definitely not use? suggestions are welcome!

thanks all for your help

Peat moss, cypress mulch, with a little CoCo Coir.... Never use sand, sure it's natural or what not but its never wise

Hi there mate! thanks for your reply, however, they are all unavailable where i live. i thought maybe someone has used some of the exoterra products mentioned before..

Howdy & no problem. Quick question do you mean you can only get exto?

it seems only exo terra ship to my country.

From the list in the link you reckon plant soil or jungle earth are good to be used as substrate to retain humidity?
