Riare 2 Pack Coco Husk Chips, Coconut Coir Substrate for Plants

Great buy, will definitely buy again. Went a long way, usually get the grass looking type, this is tidy, easy to place and decorative. Glad I tried something different

Bought this as a soil mix additive for house plants. I usually get the Komodo dragon bedding which is chopped to 10mm chunks. I bought this as a way to buy bulk.It comes in bricks which are surprisingly solid, I assumed I'd be able to crumble it down but was unable to, I popped it in a bucket of water briefly and it soon swelled up and the brick broke apart.It's not bad at all and it does make for a good chunky soil mix, however, the chunks of husk in these bricks are much much bigger than what I'm used to, (some pieces over 50mm) and as this, this substrate might not be appropriate for smaller plants.It'll be fine for my needs but I think will still need some of the smaller chips for my smaller propagations.I found it had little to no odour and holds onto moisture as well as any other coconut husk chippings.If you're an owner of many houseplants and you make your own soil mixes for bulk repotting, then I think overall it's a additive for soil and it's good value for money compared to buying 12L at a time.If your houseplant collection is less extreme, the bulk quantity may not be needed, and the more refined chips might be more beneficial

Exactly what I expected!

Works great and looks good also. Stopped the weeds that were the only thing to grow during the recent drought. Also after watering them I found this kept the moisture within the soil rather than drying out. I just basically used to put a top layer over the soil on all my pots from Citrus trees, fruit trees and shrubs.

Great substrate for lizards, I break it in half and hydrate the two halves separately for ease of use, using boiling water to speed up the process. I would recommend three to four packets for a standard size bearded dragon enclosure.For plants, this size husk would be suitable for large plants but is too bulky for small plants in pots.

Great idea and teams up easily

Excellent mulchWould highly recommendI just need more, but it’s not available atm 🙁

Just what I was looking for. Really simple to use — just add water, wait, and it’s ready. I use it to make a chunky houseplant mix and my Hoyas seem to love it. Would happily buy again.

Das Kokossubstrat von Riare gefällt mir richtig gut. Die Stücke sind angenehm grob und nicht zu fein zerfallen – für mich ein großer Vorteil, wenn man daraus ein luftiges Substrat für Monsteras und Philodendrons mischt.Das Material wirkt sauber und frei von unnötigem Kleinkram. Durch die grobe Struktur kann ich bei meiner eigenen Mischung sogar etwas weniger Orchideenerde bzw. Rinde verwenden und bekomme trotzdem ein schön lockeres Substrat.Die 8 Blöcke sind praktisch, wenn man regelmäßig Substrat mischt. Preislich ist das Set zwar günstiger als einzelne Blöcke, aber Kokossubstrat bleibt insgesamt kein Schnäppchen. 😅Fazit: Grob, sauber und sehr gut zum Beimischen. Für meine Aroid-Mischung definitiv eine gute Wahl. 🌱

Great purchase

If you grow plants seriously, you know substrate is not glamorous. It is infrastructure. It is foundation. And bad foundation shows up fast.These coco chips are the good kind.Nice chunky consistency. Not pulverized dust pretending to be structure. The pieces are large enough to create real aeration, but not so oversized that they turn your pot into a bark pile. They hydrate evenly, expand properly, and rinse out clean without that murky runoff you sometimes get with lower grade material.They hold moisture without suffocating roots. Drain well. Mix beautifully with perlite or finer coco if you are dialing in a custom blend. If you run aroids, orchids, or anything that appreciates airflow, this stuff behaves.No weird smell. No excessive fines. No surprise debris.It is not flashy. It is not hyped. It just does what it is supposed to do, which in plant world is high praise.Five stars because good substrate makes everything above it better.

C'est copeaux de noix de coco répondre à toutes mes attentes ! J'ai ramené des plantes exotiques et il me fallait des copeaux de noix de coco pour pouvoir les nourrir... Les copeaux se réhydrate très facilement ils prennent énormément de volume donc attention à la quantité que vous mettez dans les pots.C'est un très bon produit que je recommande

Sustrato excelente para la aireación de las raíces y un buen drenaje.El calibre de la corteza es ideal.
