It all depends on the plants as far as ecoearth is concerned. Keep in mind it has no nutritional value in it for the plants. Frog waste and minerals in your misting water (if not using distilled) are the only nutrients they get. Some plants are heavy root feeders and will survive on only those, but will not thrive. Others, like pothos and coming philodendrons feed from aerial roots growing every few inches or so and epiphytes will grab nutrients in other ways, provided you give them to them.
