KOKOSFLORA Premium Coconut Husk Chips 4.5kg for Plants, Orchids, Hydroponics, Mulch and Potting Mix for Ornamental Plants - High Water Retention & No Soil - Floor Bedding for Pet Animals (Terrarium)

Kokosflora Coconut Husk Chips are priced at a premium but you get what you pay for - quality! Kokosflora is a German company, but they process coconut coir and fiber growing substrates in India. However, you're assured you get a product that adheres to German standards. I'm writing this review after a few months of use. I use it mainly to grow succulents and my plants seem to be loving it. I threw away the original media (cocopeat) because it retained too much moisture and replaced with this. I broke up the chips into smaller pieces to meet my requirements. Soak it it water for a couple of hours, squeeze out the water, and you're good to go.I live in Mumbai, where the monsoon is quite intense with high levels of humidity >90%. And these chips provide the necessary aeration and holds moisture and nutrients just perfect. You may argue that cocochips and cocopeat attract fungus - yes, it does. But take the appropriate measures.- Use a well-ventilated pot with plenty of big drainage holes at the bottom- Add charcoal/cinder/leca clay to deter fungus- Water with fungicide solution at least once a monthThis product is great for growing succulents, snake plants, orchids. It's a great soil amendment that creates air pockets in soil and holds moisture and nutrients, which is useful in locations with hot and dry climate.HIghly recommended!! Great work, Kokosflora team - you have a nice product portfolio. Looking forward to future purchases.

Good quality of husk, good blend of coconut husk material not so big and not so small perfect fine material with good quality of water absorption and drainage capacity.Using for my plants and specially for orchids flowers.Full satisfied with the product quality, quantity and price.

Happy with the product, works well for my plants. Have been buying this brand for some time, one of the best in the market.

This husk didn't require any washing, i just added in water to expand it. The EC was bang on spot 0.4mS/cm after hydrating.

Fungus started on the surface of all pots after 7 days of potting using cocopeat from the block I purchased. Would not recommend.

will this product prevent grass / weeds from growing once we applied this on plants surface. please clarify if this will control or eliminate grass in the garden

Simply the best. Perfect EC, perfectly packed, perfectly delivered. Go for it.
