Coco Bliss Coco Coir 650gm Bricks (6-Pack) | Expands Up to 48 Quarts

About this item

• HIGH EXPANSION COCO COIR BRICKS: Every 650gm brick of Plantonix Coco Bliss expands up to 2 gallons (about 8 quarts) of loose coco coir. This 6-pack makes up to 12 gallons (48 quarts) of loose coconut fiber. Once hydrated, coco coir helps loosen dense potting soil. This way, water moves evenly through the mix, instead of sitting in heavy clumps. Coco fiber creates small air spaces for better aeration and holds moisture like tiny sponges. This helps the mix stay damp longer between waterings.
• EASY TO EXPAND & STORE: Set a brick in a bucket or tub and pour in about 3 to 3.5 quarts of warm (not boiling) water, a little at a time. In about 3 to 5 minutes, it softens and starts falling apart on its own. Then, you can break it up with your hands and fluff it. Still clumpy in the middle? Add a splash of warm water and give it another minute. You'll find instructions printed right on the box. Hydrate one coconut coir brick at a time, then store the rest dry on the shelf for next time.
• WASHED & SCREENED WITH LOW EC: We wash and screen every coco coir brick multiple times to get rid of sand, rocks, and debris. Coco Bliss has a natural, earthy smell, low EC, and a pH of 5.5 to 6.3. It’s easy to make buffered coco coir for seedlings or hydroponic systems. Give it a rinse and a soak in a cal-mag solution first, since coir likes to hang on to calcium and magnesium. If you’re using it as a mulch, a simple rinse is all it needs.
• ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT FOR ANY MIX: Stir this coco fiber into potting soil, garden soil, or raised bed soil to help it hold moisture and stay light. Mix with perlite or vermiculite for seed starting, or try 60% coir and 40% perlite for a fast-draining potting mix. Add extra perlite for succulents, since coir alone stays pretty damp. Use for indoor plants, herbs, vegetables, or as coconut mulch. Coir has very little nutritional value, so make sure to feed your plants once they're established.
• PEAT-FREE AND RENEWABLE: Coco coir (also called coco peat or coco fiber) comes from coconut husks, a byproduct of the coconut harvest. Peat moss is dug from bogs that take thousands of years to form and hold lots of carbon, so choosing coir helps leave those bogs alone. Once buffered, it swaps in for peat moss one to one in most mixes. It's OMRI Listed for organic gardening, and a favorite for worm bins, composting toilets, and mushroom growing, too.
