Cheardia 12-Pack Coconut Coir Bricks – High Expansion, Low EC, Balanced pH for Garden Potting

Cheardia 12-Pack Coconut Coir Bricks: A lightweight, expandable growing substrate

Cheardia delivers a 12-pack of compressed coconut coir bricks designed to become a versatile growing medium for pots, raised beds, and garden beds. Each brick measures about 7.8 by 4 by 1.5 inches and weighs 300 to 400 g, depending on moisture. When hydrated, these bricks expand into a porous, honeycomb-like matrix that promotes air circulation and helps prevent soil compaction, supporting robust root growth.

Why gardeners choose coconut coir

• Low EC and balanced pH create a stable base for a wide range of plants
• Natural coconut husk fiber yields a lightweight, easy-to-handle substrate
• Porous structure improves drainage and reduces soil compaction, aiding root development
• Expanded coir is soft to the touch, making it comfortable to work with during planting

How to prepare and use

While this substrate provides a favorable environment for roots, results depend on the overall care, plant choices, and soil management you apply.
