Riare 10 Pack Coco Chips Substrate – 11 lb Organic Coconut Husk Brick, Low EC & pH Balanced

Natural, versatile planting substrate from Riare

The Riare 10 Pack Coco Chips Substrate is a 100% natural, organic growing medium crafted from coconut coir chips and coconut fiber. Sold as ten compact bricks, this bundle weighs about 11 lb in total and expands dramatically when hydrated, delivering a lightweight, breathable foundation for a wide range of plants—from flowering annuals to fresh herbs.

Engineered for balance, the substrate features low EC and a pH that sits in a friendly range for many species. The airy texture promotes oxygen flow to roots and supports healthy root development, helping plants access nutrients more efficiently. And because the material holds moisture without becoming waterlogged, you may find you water less often while still providing steady hydration for root systems.
