Coco Chip Coir Blocks
Introducing our premium quality Coir Cocochip growing media, the perfect solution for growing healthy and vibrant orchids and other aerophilic plants. Made from 100% natural coconut fibers, our Coir Cocochip has low salt/EC levels (<1ms/cm @ 1:1.5 dilution) ensuring optimal growth for your plants.
The Coir Cocochip is an excellent growing medium for orchids and other aerophilic plants, as it offers a high air-filled porosity which is essential for the roots of these plants to breathe and grow healthily. The high porosity also allows for better water drainage and prevents waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
Each 4.5 kg block of our Coir Cocochip yields approximately 45 liters of growing media when expanded, and only requires 15-20 liters of water to wet and expand the block. This makes it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for all your gardening needs.
Not only is our Coir Cocochip a great choice for your plants, but it is also an environmentally friendly option, as it is a sustainable and renewable resource. So why wait?

The Benefits of Coir For Your Garden
Coconut coir, also known as coconut fiber, is a versatile and sustainable material that has becoming increasingly popular in horticulture. Derived from the outer husk of coconuts, coconut coir is a byproduct of the coconut industry, making it an eco-friendly and renewable resource. Here are some of the benefits of using coconut coir in horticulture:
- Excellent water retention: Coconut coir is highly absorbent and can hold up to eight times its own weight in water. This makes it an ideal growing medium for plants that require consistent moisture, such as succulents and cacti.
- Good drainage: Coconut coir is also porous and allows for good drainage, preventing waterlogged soil and root rot. This makes it ideal for use in container gardening, raised beds, and hydroponic systems.
- pH friendly: Coconut coir is pH-friendly, with a slightly acidic to neutral range (5.5–6.8). It's suitable for a wide variety of plants.
- Sustainable and Renewable: Coconut coir is a byproduct of the coconut industry, making it an eco-friendly and renewable resource. It is also biodegradable and can be used as compost or mulch after use.
- Long-lasting: Coconut coir is also very long-lasting, which means you won't have to replace it as often as other growing mediums. It can also be easily reused and repurposed.
- Weed suppression: When used as a mulch, coconut coir can help suppress weed growth by blocking light.
- Insect resistance: Coconut coir is naturally resistant to insects and pests, providing an added layer of protection for your plants.
- Lightweight: Coconut coir is lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport.
- Cost-effective: Coconut coir is an affordable option that can save you money in the long run.
