Know before you buy
The Fiber variety has a finer texture that excels at improving aeration and drainage, while the Chips are chunkier and provide more structural support and oxygen pockets for root systems. Many growers choose to blend both to create a custom balance of moisture retention and airflow.
No, you do not need to rinse it. Roots Organics washes this product during processing to remove excess sodium, so it is ready to be mixed into your potting soil right out of the bag.
While it is a high-quality medium, it is designed to be integrated into soil or soilless mixes rather than used alone. Adding it to your potting mix helps you fine-tune the air-to-water ratio to better suit your specific plant's needs.
With a natural pH range of 5.2 to 6.3, this medium is slightly acidic, which is ideal for optimal nutrient uptake in most houseplants. Because it is stable, you can easily adjust your fertilizer regimen to maintain your target pH levels.
Aging and composting the coconut husks for two years breaks down the material into a more stable, consistent form. This process ensures the medium won't shrink or decompose rapidly in your pots, providing a reliable environment for your plants over the long term.
