Know before you buy
While standard coco coir has a fine, peat-like texture, these coco chips are chunky. This structure is specifically designed to increase aeration and drainage in your potting mix, preventing the soil from becoming too compacted.
No, these chips have already been thoroughly washed to remove excess sodium. They are ready to be hydrated and mixed into your growing medium straight out of the package.
You can blend these chips into your existing potting soil to improve its structure. They are particularly useful for plants that require high oxygen levels at the root zone, such as orchids or heavy-feeding tropicals.
With a natural pH range of 5.2 to 6.3, these chips are well-suited for most indoor and outdoor plants. This range is ideal for ensuring that your plants can efficiently absorb the nutrients provided in your fertilizer.
Because these chips are aged and composted for 24 months, they are quite stable. They resist rapid decomposition, meaning they will maintain their structure and drainage properties for a full growing season or longer.
