Description
Coco chips can also be used as a growing medium for plants, including both indoor and outdoor varieties. The fibrous texture and moisture-retaining properties of coco chips make them a suitable alternative to traditional soil or other types of growing media.
When used as a planting medium, coco chips provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent waterlogging and root rot. They also retain moisture, ensuring that plants have access to water even in drier conditions. Coco chips are lightweight, which can be advantageous for potted plants, and they are also resistant to decomposition, meaning they can last longer than some other organic materials.
Coco chips are commonly used in hydroponic systems, container gardening, and as a component in potting mixes for orchids, ferns, bromeliads, and other plants that thrive in well-draining media. They offer a sustainable and eco-friendly option for plant cultivation while promoting healthy root development and overall plant growth.

I mix my own soil and was really happy to see Urban Roots selling these chips. They are a valuable addition to my potting mix as Pune has a dry climate and mixing them in, ensures necessary aeration and good drainage.
