I'm familiar with Substrat Pro - spent many years in the planted tank world. So many things can be used as a potting medium, as long as the growing environment, watering schedule, etc. is adjusted to meet the plant's needs based on the type of medium it's in. Speaking specifically of Substrat Pro, I'd say go for it definitely. I grow a lot of my plants in semi-hydro culture using LECA (PrimeAgra, Hydroton, etc.), so I wonder if Substrat Pro would work similarly. I imagine it would hold moisture well, and be pretty airy also, so would work well in traditional potting methods too.

I'm curious as to your results, so I'll definitely be watching for updates.
