Twizted Plants Chunky Coco Chips Orchid Aroid Substrate
Twizted Premium Chunky Coco Chips are made from washed coconut husk. The coarse, fibrous chunks create open air gaps in a mix, hold some moisture in their porous fibers, and resist compaction. They work well in chunky aroid mixes, orchid and epiphyte potting, and as a top dressing.
Perfect For
- Chunky aroid and tropical mixes: keeps large pots open and breathable for monsteras, philodendrons, and anthuriums
- Epiphyte potting: a coarse texture for aerial roots to cling to
- Orchid potting: an alternative or supplement to fir bark
- Terrariums and vivariums: a coarse drainage and structure layer
- Top dressing: a clean, natural forest-floor look on large planters
Why Twizted Chunky Coco Chips?
- Washed: rinsed to remove debris and excess dust
- Coarse, irregular chunks: create air pockets that keep a mix from packing down
- Moisture balance: porous fibers hold some water while excess drains through the gaps
- Pre-screened and ready to blend: packaged dry and loose in resealable pouches
- One ingredient: coconut husk chips
How to Use
1. Chunky aroid soil blending. Combine 30-40% Chunky Coco Chips with 20% coco coir, 25% coarse perlite, and 15% Volcanic Aqua Blend for an open, free-draining tropical mix.
2. Hydration and potting. Soak or rinse the chips in clean water for 5-10 minutes until evenly hydrated, then drain excess liquid. Work the chunks gently around the roots when potting epiphytes or repotting root-bound aroids.
3. Top dressing and terrariums. Spread a 1/2 to 1 inch layer across the surface of large planters or terrarium floors.
