Which potting soil?

[mhfan305]

What type of soil do you guys use for live plants in your terrariums?I have a ficus bush I am going to re-pot and was wondering which organic potting soil should I use that wont be harmful to the chameleon but will provide all the correct nutrients for the plant. I was sure any soil with furtilizer is harmful.

I use a mixture. 1 part organic potting soil w.out fertilizer, 1part sphagnum moss and 1part crayola brand sand (because it is the safest sand and non toxic..w.no carcinogens.)

That's just what I use but just plain old organic fertilizer free soil would probably do just fine.

I'll have to shop around Home Depot and Lowes, maybe one of the nurserys out here will have a large sum for less...thanks!
