As long as i read this forum cypress is the best substrate, but i don't know where i can find it in my country..
Can the coco coif be boiled to eliminate any bugs there? Will it influence the PH or produce toxic from the coco coir? I am planning to boil my coco coir, just to prevent any bugs or fungus. But i am doubt, it can be boiled or not, to use it again. Maybe you can give me advice?
