Coconut Husk Chips
Coconut husk chips, also known as coco chips, are a versatile and eco-friendly product made from the fibrous outer shell of coconuts.
Coconut husks are chipped into small sized chips called Coco Chips. Coco Chips are added to potting soil or mixed with Coco Peat to regulate the aeration of growing medium and maintain the ideal air to moisture ratio for the plant roots.
Widely popular among Orchid and Anthurium growers as the ideal growing medium, Coco Chips can be mixed at different proportions with Coco Peat to regulate the aeration and moisture level of the growing medium.
