Coir chip bricks are made entirely from natural coconut husks. They are better for orchids because they hold more water, air and nutrients than bark chips and do not dry out as quickly. Yet the open chip structure allows air to circulate just as well as with bark. Coco husk chips contain five times more lignin than bark, so they are highly resistant to breakdown.
Compressed bricks are 2" x 4" x 8" and weigh 1.1 lb. each. Soak them in water and let them expand for 15 minutes before use. 100% organic and bio-degradable from renewable resources (coconuts).
This product is OMRI certified ORGANIC.

Excellent product
These chips really do not break down like regular fir bark and store perfectly. I have used these for several different types of orchids grown outdoors. These really do hold water longer than bark so I suggest mixing with large to extra large perlite or charcoal to improve drainage for deep or larger size plastic pots. I need more. Too bad they are out of stock.

Great stuff
Bought this as I had a lot of orchids needing repotting. It worked really and was so easy to use! I block expands to fill a bucket, amazing! So much easier to store until you need it.
