Coco Chips
Coconut husks are carefully processed and cut into small, uniform pieces known as Coco Chips, which serve as an excellent natural growing medium. These chips are commonly blended with potting soil or combined with Coco Peat to optimize aeration and maintain the perfect air-to-moisture balance required for healthy root development. By improving soil structure and preventing compaction, coco chips create a well-draining yet moisture-retentive environment that enhances plant growth and root expansion. Their fibrous nature allows them to absorb and release water gradually, reducing the risk of overwatering or dehydration, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of horticultural applications.
Highly favored by Orchid and Anthurium growers, coco chips provide an ideal growing medium that mimics the plants' natural habitat by ensuring proper airflow and moisture retention. Depending on specific plant needs, they can be mixed in various proportions with coco peat to customize the aeration and water-holding capacity of the substrate. Their sustainable and biodegradable properties make them an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic and traditional bark-based media, offering long-term benefits for both plants and the environment.

Why Choose Coco Chips?
Coco chips are a natural, eco-friendly growing medium made from coconut husks, offering an excellent balance of moisture retention and aeration. Their fibrous structure allows them to absorb and release water gradually, preventing overwatering while keeping plant roots hydrated. This makes them an ideal choice for orchids, succulents, and other plants that require well-draining soil. Additionally, coco chips improve soil structure by enhancing aeration, promoting strong root development, and preventing compaction.
Beyond their horticultural benefits, coco chips are a sustainable and biodegradable alternative to traditional bark mulches and synthetic growing mediums. They are resistant to fungal growth, free from harmful chemicals, and pH-neutral, ensuring a healthy environment for plants. Whether used as a standalone medium, mixed with potting soil, or applied as mulch, coco chips provide a long-lasting and environmentally responsible solution for improving soil health and supporting plant growth.
