Small Coconut Husk Chips are a primary ingredient in our Seedling Blend orchid mix and our Paph & Phrag Blend. Coconut husk chips are a popular alternative to Fir Bark. Coconut husk chips are easy to water and break down slower than bark, remaining open and airy longer. This is of particular importance to those growing in tropical conditions. Coconut husk chips mix well with other ingredients to create a wide variety of orchid mixes. Small coconut husk chips are a fairly even 1/8-1/4 inch size and with fibrous crevices that orchid roots just love. It absorbs water well and holds it like a sponge releasing it as the roots drink. Orchid mixes with coconut husk chips are easy to work with and make repotting orchids a joy. Our coconut chips come to us prewashed and pressed. We then take the chips and soak them, filter, wash and clean them as many times as is necessary to be sure the finished product is in the best possible condition for our use and for yours. We use the same products we provide our customers on our own orchids, and quality is our number one objective. Coconut husk chips are a renewable resource.
