Some people may have doubts that 9 lts is not sufficient, you can always go with bottom layer of Topica and top it up with river sand. The plants are thriving. One additonal thing I did was adding ADA bacteria which helped colonize healthy bacteria. The purchase is really worth the price and does great job. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best alternative of Amazonian soil *by on Reviewed in India 6 September 2023* After few months I will share my plant growth I'm set up my tank dry start method update soon 🙂 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product by tropica *by on Reviewed in India 23 June 2022* as mentioned in other reviews I had mixed thoughts about buying this soil...but after purchasing it ...it had firm pearls or soil and that to had softness as required..... plants are responding greatly And show growth within a week....new leaves are rapidly coming from many of the plants....all in all a really great product and will recommend to anyone into this hobby. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tropica Tropical Aquarium Soil Powder, 9 l, Substrate for Plants - Seachem Flourite Black Clay Gravel - Stable Porous Natural Planted Aquarium Substrate 15.4 lbs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/252050740-tropica-aquarium-soil-9-litres](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/252050740-tropica-aquarium-soil-9-litres) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
