Coco Chips

Coco Chips – Chipped Coconut Husks

Coco Chips are made from little chips made from coconut husks. To control the aeration of the growing medium and preserve the proper air to moisture ratio for the plant roots, coco chips are added to potting soil or combined with coco peat. Coco Chips are widely used by orchid and anthurium gardeners as the perfect growing media. They can be combined with coco peat in varying amounts to control the growing medium's moisture content and aeration.
