New 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 resource (coconuts).
