"Exo Terra Plantation Soil is made from compressed coconut husk fibre from the plantations of tropical Asia"
I have never used it but I know lots of hydro growers use coconut fiber as a grow medium so I dont see why not. Just know it has no food whatsoever for your plant so you will have to provide a good balanced food. Hope this helps.

Um, no.

That's not even "soil", its a substrate (floor covering) for reptile aquariums.

No, no, no, no.

You want a POTTING SOIL, or a soilless growing medium for PLANTS. Terrarium substrate is not what you want.
