    I use a mix of topsoil and coir for my Cope's grays. Since the needs and natural habitats of tree frogs vary greatly, my vote is a coir (thats the coconut husk stuff!) as the generic basic substrate.

    The stuff is cheap. You get a lot for your money. It is easy to keep clean. It has excellent moisture retention properties.

    I use coconut husk soil along with damp moss.

    Humus is another word for loam, which is (generally speaking) partially composted leaf litter.

    I use large bark pieces and build up areas with moss, so far havent found any coconut local to me.
