Riare 2 Pack Coco Husk Chips for Plants Organic Coco Chips Substrate High Expansion Coconut Substrate Coco Coir Mulch for Garden Flowers, Herbs, Planting

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 component to add to soil mix

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

Very easy to use ideal for protecting shrubs in pots over winter.

Fast delivery as described pieces are bigger than I thought using on my baby brbs

This is the first time I‘ve bought this product and did so after becoming interested with having indoor plants to make my conservatory more interesting. These Coco Chips Substrate arrive in a firm brick, it is easy to pull apart, you don’t need much, it just help the potting soil mix I use to be more free draining and of course go a little further. My plants appear to enjoy the more free draining aspect as I had become guilty of overwatering during the winter months.

I use this for my indoor tortoises

This was my second batch. First purchase was excellent. This purchase must've been a faulty batch because my coir expanded into mush! 😥 I couldn't use it for more plant toppings. I got a refund from Amazon. Hopefully the next batch will be better.
