Place the brick in a 2.6-gallon bucket and add 100 fl oz water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes until it completely absorbs the water. Stir the substrate to ensure that no clumps remain and that the substrate is ready to use.
-
Spread a 1-2" layer of Exo Terra Plantation Soil on the terrarium floor (up to 4" when used for burrowing animals or as planting soil). Water or mist the substrate according to the humidity level required and use an Exo Terra Hygrometer (Item #103922) to monitor the humidity level.

Due to the material the soil brick was made of it looked like it would be a good substance to add to potting soil to increase the air ratio so the roots would not rot. I did my first planting a week ago and so far the water still run through and soil is damp but not soaked I really think it's going do work for bunch of my plants.

Great for animals that require medium to high humidity. Frogs, crested geckos, salamanders ect. Also great for incubation.

So far so good! I put less water in it and it made it a drier wet so it's not sticking to their coats and no wet muddy tracks :) My boys are digging as if the escape to ultimate freedom is on bottom of their box, lol It's great!
