Yep. I picked up a few for almost free last fall at the 'end of season' sales.

What soil is that? The one I use is kinda ugly and was wondering if i could a thin layer of something better looking on top.

Equal parts pumice and fir bark.

Most people I know will put a thin layer of small black lava rock on top for when they’re showing a tree. No point in doing that normally though, since it’ll get mixed in so easily.
