Coco Chips for Plants (650gm Bricks, 5-Pack) - Organic Coco Coir Chips - Coconut Husk Chips for Potting Soil, Garden Soil, & Seed Starter Soil - Coconut Mulch for Garden - Coconut Chips for Plants

I use coir for gardening, vermicomposting, and growing starts.These are coir blocks. There's not a lot to note in description especially if you're familiar with this wonder. I've used well over a dozen from these folks and not once found chunks of unprocessed materials - which has happened with far more pricey garden center single blocks.They enthusiastically (QUICKLY!**) and comprehensively rehydrate and it just makes me happy every time.This coir rehydrates without any greasy residue on water surface or odd smell, which I've experienced with lesser quality products. This means I felt, and continue to feel, secure using it in my vermicomposting as well. For me, this is a soil addition that's *well* worth its cost in hanging on to liquid gold - water. This helps my container plants especially - as I live in an area where triple digits are the norm through the growing season. A generous addition of this means the difference between twice or single daily watering on the small containers which has several benefits. For anybody unfamiliar with coir, I find it also makes a much better medium addition than peat for starting seedlings. In my local climate peat moss plugs dry out too fast and well, making unhappy seedlings in their water repellant cubes. For the seedlings I do purchase, a little cocoon of this all around helps the roots grow past the peat = and then they can find water.So I'm here once again to stock up for next year because this amazing, versatile, RENEWABLE product also doesn't expire or go 'bad', you just need to keep it dry. Not that getting it wet spoils it, but it might do in the container.**The rehydrating thing- if you haven't used this stuff the blocks expand a LOT and a small bucket won't do. Even a 5 gallon bucket should be watched and keep the brick upright! Rehydrating goes very fast and the brick will want to fall over and before you realize it's capsized.... It is capable of deforming the bucket into an impressive oval before it shatters. Trust me. 😉😁

This is the perfect substrate for a worm bin. I've used this product for over 20 years, and each time I put together a worm bin for my classroom, it's great. It breaks up and holds water easily. It's easy to tell when to stop adding water. Very easy for young children to dig in and cover food scraps with. The color highlights the yellow worm eggs, so they are easy to find. When it spills on the floor, my 5-year-olds use a small dustpan and whisk broom to easily clean it up. 100% all around great product!

I love this coir so much. Each brick is a great size, it's easy to hydrate, easy to store and lasts a long time for me. I mix it with coarse perlite, orchiata and horticultural charcoal and it works like a charm. A huge plus is that a little goes a long way. One 5 pack of it makes ~80 quarts of my potting mix, so as someone with a decent sized plant collection and lots of soil propagations going all the time, it's a massive help. It's just under $2.25 of coir in each batch of my mix as well, far cheaper than buying 80 quarts of a mix elsewhere even with my amendments.I very much dislike peat moss, from it's environmental issues, to it staying moist for too long, to getting a lot of mold and so on. Coco coir has been a great alternative for me as it holds onto moisture, but dries at a good rate so I no longer get mold, mildew or root rot. Because it's so light and airy, I haven't had any issues with soil compacting or becoming hydrophobic like with peat moss. All my plants have been much happier since I switched in January 2021, I'm never going back. Echeveria, agave, aloe, hoya, scindapsus, codiaeum, monstera, epipremnum, philodendron, ZZ, snake plants- you name it! They all love it.The only suggestion I have is if you want to switch your plants to coir, do it slowly! It'll take time for you to learn watering for each repotted plant.May 20th, 2024 UPDATE:This coir is still the best thing I have ever found. It's been three years since I started using it and my entire collection has been thriving! Incredibly healthy roots, no smell, fantastic aeration, great for propagation, and best of all - no gnats or other pests like with peat moss.I have bought the 5 pack of bricks four times (with about just as many gifted to me from family), and have bought the 10 pack recently. Over the years, consistency has been my biggest issue with ordering things for my plants. This coco coir has been one of the very few products that has not only remained consistent, but consistently amazing! Always very clean - no sticks, thorns, plastic, metal etc. throughout any bricks. I love this coir and for as long I have plants and it stays this nice, I'll never stop using it.

I use a lot of this in my gardens and this was great quality at a good price. Clean, good texture, no weird ‘other’ stuff mixed in. Just exactly what I ordered and expected and ya know, sometimes that is more than enough to make my day. :)

These work well for my worm bin. Covering the organic waste with the coconut fiber reduces other bugs. Our raspberries and blackberries do well using the worm castings.

Grew my garden in this and organic fertilized soil from miracle grow. Good value for my money, the growth rate of my plants was out of this world. I had tomato plants taller than myself. Going to buy again this next spring

good product. usually buy the large size cube, but finding these smaller blocks r eaiser to handle and can be used as needed.

I've bought Coco Bliss Coco Coir multiple times. Seems like a good brand. It expands quickly in water and you can use it right away in your garden to get more airflow. Better than peat moss, which tends to be hard to re-wet when it gets dry. CocoCoir is easier to keep moist and get airflow for the roots.I would recommend.
