    Default Are this plant and soil ok?

    I went to the garden centre today and brought a ficus benjamina. As far as i'm away there ok? Problem is, they didn't have topsoil (N) so I brought some stuff called 'New Horizon Organic and Peat Free Multi-purpose Compost' is this ok for potting with? Also I saw a nice looking Ficus Deltoidea is this ok? I might go back and buy it.

    p.s I'm talking a bout for my veiled chameleon if anyone was wondering thanks!

    i cant see a problem with the ficus plants ( are they creeping figs ? )

    as the the soil, i have not tryed that actual brand / type but i did have a few problems with different types of compost holding the humidity,

    i always go for exoterra plantation soil as it hold the moisture great and not had any problems with it. one of the soil blocks was enough for 3 exo-terra 30x30x45's along with the drainage etc and at £2.20 its cheap

    well im not to worried a bout humidity from the plants as they will still be in the pots etc and the viv im using is an exo-terra flexarium which i mist 3 times a day so humidity isnt really a problem i was thinking more along the lines of incase he eats it etc.
