cancel Sold out
Tropicoir Husk Chip Bale S (12–16mm) is a premium-grade coconut husk substrate ideal for orchids, aroids, bromeliads, and other tropical species requiring coarse, moisture-retentive, and well-draining media. The 12–16mm chip size delivers excellent aeration while maintaining just enough moisture for healthy root development. Supplied as a compressed, wrapped bale, it's easy to store, transport, and rehydrate on demand.
Perfect as a standalone medium or as part of custom mixes for tropicals and epiphytes, Tropicoir chips are triple-washed and buffered for stability, low EC, and long-term use in high-humidity environments. A sustainable alternative to bark, these husk chips are derived from renewable coconut coir and processed under strict quality control.
Key benefits:
- 12–16mm coarse chip size for aeration and moisture balance
- Buffered, triple-washed, low EC coir for plant safety
- Compressed bale—expands significantly when hydrated
- Ideal for orchids, aroids, bromeliads, and vivarium setups
- 100% renewable & biodegradable coconut husk
