This stuff is amazing 🤩 and a bargain, all at the same time. I needed to repot some root-bound sansevieria and a little Christmas cactus that has outgrown it's big box store pot. I'm sold! From here on out I will keep this on hand. First off, it literally swells to at least 5 times from it's original compressed size, and fairly quickly too. It only took 20 minutes at the most. Secondly, you literally can not over water using this medium. It seems to drain better than sand, but holds enough moisture for your green babies. I don't have any plant growth to document at this time, but I'm excited to see how they progress. Did I mention there is minimal smell. And the faint odor I do detect reminds me of wicker furniture when its new. And it seems pure. I did not see any regular dirt in the matrix. Now for my purposes I mixed one expanded cocoa core brick, with 2 large scoops of garden soil, and two spade sized scoops of worm casting (for organic fertilization). OMG 😱 this made for the most beautiful potting soil I've ever seen. I don't think I will ever buy that expensive potting soil again. This is waaaay better and all natural. I love it!

This was a pretty good value for the money for $16. I filled up three 5 gallon buckets of Coco. I’m not sure if you have looked at the price of a bag of pre-mixed coco but the cheapest bag I could find was about 30 some dollars and that’s barely enough to fill up one 5 gallon bucket so for 16 bucks I would say the size is amazing. Don’t be fooled by the size of the brick when you get it cause once you put water to it that thing’s gonna expand like crazy! It comes pre-washed in freshwater I like to buffer mine with cal mag and the plants absolutely love it. Their growth is exponential compared to dirt. there’s a lot of other cocos out there that have other fillers like wood chips and things like that this is 100% Coco husk ground down and compressed. I didn’t find any bugs. Any dirt just coco coir ..if you’re into the whole process of making your own medium for your plants and controlling your nutrients in a stable environment this is the way you wanna go I had a little bit of clay pebbles to mine just to help aeration and they work so well together.

Very good quality coir. I poured hot water on one of the brick and it expanded into a very large amount of coir. I mix it with perlite to make soiless mix for african violets. It looks like peat moss and is fluffy and foe not clump up. It is easy to use, just pour very warm water on it and it is ready to use

Pictured is a 30 gallon container with the brick fully soaked and broken up. It doesn’t take up even half of the container; maybe coconut fiber math is similar to toilet paper math? It seems to be good quality but I am somewhat disappointed by the volume compared to what was listed.

These were great ! They expanded to at least 5 times the size easily and I was surprised with how much water they were able to soak up. I ordered a 5 pack, the bricks came very firmly pressed and didn’t flake much or lose shape at all during shipping. I like how they have a neutral + pleasant and earthy smell which isn’t very strong. I put all 5 in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket and added water from my rain water collection containers, after filling the bucket up halfway I left the coir alone for a while and when I came back I found them needing even more water, it surprised me how thirsty these things were. When I was done adding water these things had expanded to fill the entire 5 gallon bucket and they had even expanded past the rim of the bucket. It’s really impressive how big these things get. I’ve already noticed an improvement in my potted plants and the coir is also great for cuttings and starting seeds. I also found the coir to pair really well with a generous ratio of perlite and a little bit of added potting soil for my succulent cuttings. The perlite breaks up the texture and let’s it dry out so the cuttings aren’t too moist.

I use this for my chicken's dust bath. It also helps fill their chicken run since they like to dig. They will kick it out of the dust bath, and eventually it fills the holes that they dig around. I use this, because peat moss is hard to come by around me. I have also used it for growing microgreens. No complaints

Absolute best bang for your buck! Also this is great quality coco. I have used many brands off Amazon and this is now going to be the only one I purchase. Other brands can come soaked in salt water which is really bad for plants. I was having to wash my coco heavily before using until I switched to this brand. Also it has nice large pieces which is great for drainage. It also has a minimal odor compared to some brands that will arrive smelling like an industrial site. Overall I'm super happy. I use it for my indoor plants and also for my cacti I use 50/50 perlite and this coco with a little sand or volcano rocks for a topping.

I use this in the spring when I was starting my seatings to growing and it works well. If you are a gardener, you should already know how well this product work. I suggest you add dirt to it as you put your seeds in the beginning.
