I use eco earth for my yearlings sulcatas and was wondering if that is okay. I want what is best for their health and want them as healthy as possible.

Coco coir isn't toxic or an impaction problem, but it is very messy under a sulcata baby. I won't use it anymore. Fine grade orchid bark works best. It can be found at garden centers and nurseries, but not usually at large hardware stores. Its also called fir bark sometimes.
