Coconut bricks are an excellent natural growing medium.
What is coconut brick made of?
Coconut is a by-product of coconut processing plants, so it can be considered environmentally friendly, coconut brick made from the ground coconut shell. Several fractions are separated. Coconut fibre has a fibrous structure similar to peat. The coconut residue is obtained from the fragmentation of the shell bark.
Properties of coconut bricks
Coconut fibre is able to absorb 7-8 times its weight in water, but it is also a good water conductor and air-permeable. It has a PH between 6,5 and 7,5. Available in various sizes of compressed blocks. The pressed bale can be loaded into the terrarium after soaking and used immediately. Ideal material. Easy to (re)wet, holds water well. It is not prone to mould.

Greater root mass develops thanks to favourable water-to-air ratio
Guaranteed weed and pest free
Uniform, balanced quality, stable structure, can be used for up to 4-5 years
The temperature of the medium is balanced and its high buffer capacity mitigates environmental, technological and technical errors
Continuously renewable, environmentally friendly, easily recyclable in other crops
