Legigo 1.1 lb Coco Coir Chips for Plants – 100% Organic Coconut Coir Brick, Low EC & pH 5.5–6.5

Overview

Legigo 1.1 lb Coco Coir Chips offer a 100% organic substrate derived from coconut coir fibers. The bricks are screened, desalinated, and rinsed to form a biodegradable growing medium that can be used directly for indoor plants, orchids, seed starting, and garden mulching. This sustainable option provides a clean, adaptable alternative to traditional soil and bark, helping you craft a tidy planting environment.

Expanded coco coir bricks create a chunky texture that stabilizes soil structure while staying easy to handle, making them suitable for beginners and veteran gardeners alike.

Key Benefits

• Low EC & pH balance: A low EC helps reduce root burn and supports steady root development; a stable pH range of 5.5–6.5 suits many plants; high CEC aids nutrient absorption and minimizes leaching.
• Moisture retention & aeration: The chunky fibers absorb 4–6 times their weight in water and release it slowly, delivering consistent moisture while ensuring good root oxygen flow and drainage.
• Versatile use: Mix with potting soil, perlite, charcoal, or use as a standalone substrate; ideal for indoor pots, orchids, hydroponics, and outdoor beds; the natural brown color adds a garden-ready look.
• Easy to use & long-lasting: Compressed bricks expand quickly when soaked to 5–7x size; clean to handle and store, and designed for extended use without frequent replacement.
• Eco-friendly applications: Biodegradable and renewable, it also doubles as a mulching layer to help conserve moisture and suppress weeds; can serve as reptile bedding when repurposed.

How to Use

• Place the brick in a container and add water; let it soak until it expands to 5–7x its original size, then fluff into chunks.
• Use alone as a base medium or mix with potting soil, perlite, or charcoal to tailor texture and drainage.
• Use as orchid substrate, hydroponic base, indoor potting mix, or outdoor mulch to retain moisture and improve soil structure.
• Let the brown chips enhance the aesthetic of your planting beds while supporting plant health over time.

Ideal Applications

• Vegetables, herbs, and flowers in indoor pots or raised beds
• Orchids and other specialty plants that benefit from well-aerated substrates
• Hydroponic systems, seed starting, and soil mixes
• Mulch for moisture retention and weed suppression in gardens
• Reptile bedding when repurposed for pet habitats
