i just crumble my ingrediants into a bucket. then i boil water. then i dump in bucket and cover with lid. 30 mins later i stir with serile serving spoon. works everytime. if you dont stir it real good tho it dosent mix very well. oh yeah then i recover and let sit over night. i assure you it stays 170-180 for well over an hour. just make sure water is at a rolling boil

Hydroponic coir is notorious for being treated with tich. It does wonders for plants.

Pet store coir is best, and most commonly used.





Bad info, no coir is "treated" with trich. Coir is coir, the only differences is in the grade, as in the way the coir is processed. All can be used, but it is easier for the myc if it is the ground instead of the chips or chunks.

This is a crossover from peeps using coir for plants, if you use coir for sub you pasturize and no trich




Ok, may it is poor choice of words, description.

The point is, Trichoderma is beneficial for plants, not for your reptile terrarium.

I may be wrong but I believe pet store coir is pasteurized.

But whether treated with trich or not, hydroponic coir has trich.

Quoted from Empire Organics:

Naturally contains Trichoderma a natural rooting/ growth agent.




Now from my understanding, trichoderma spores do not readily germinate on coir.

Also quoted from Empire Organics:

Mold and fungal resistant




So if it contains trichoderma, but it doesn't germinate on coir, I came to the conclusion it was treated.

If it was "treated" with trich, wouldn't the trich flourish while it sat on the shelf in a bag?  Seems that would be a fairly good environment for it to take off and you would surely see it quite quickly.




No because on the shelf it is dry. Thats like saying if you spawned mushroom mycelium to
dry coir, it too would flourish.



In the end, I stand by my statement. People who use coir for hydroponic purposes LIKE trichoderma
and is advertised to contain it.

People who use coir for their reptiles do not want trichoderma.
