Compressed Husk Bricks - 650g

The Coco Earth Harvest 650g Compressed Husk Bricks are a pro grade growing solution created from top quality, super washed coconut husk chips. Each brick expands to 8–10 liters of chunky coir chips when hydrated—providing a clean, low-EC, pH-balanced substrate for a number of horticultural applications—and is designed for growers that want their substrate to be clean, well-aerated and balanced over time in terms of moisture.

These bricks are a strong, sustainable replacement for bark, peat or man-made substrates, whether you are caring for orchids, using them to mulch for ornamental or practical purposes, or amending poor or compacted soils.

Optimized Physical and Chemical Properties

Low EC and Neutral pH

Able to meet the low EC standards for even the most delicate plants (sub 350 ppm), these husk bricks have undergone a rigorous super-washing process to extract all unwanted salts and impurities. A pH of 5.5 to 6.5 (the soil pH range found in nature) provides a neutral environment that is most favorable for nutrient uptake.

Superior Texture for Drainage

The large structure of coco husk chips allows for excellent aeration which is perfect for root growth and helps prevent root-rot. These chips hold moisture without waterlogging and are ideal for tropical plants, succulents, orchids, bonsai, and soil mixes.

Yield & Packaging Efficiency

These 650g bricks when mixed with water expand into 8-10 litres of hydrated media, making it possible for you to store and transport great volumes in small packaging. This design provides flexibility and convenience for use throughout retail and bulk horticulture systems.

Packaging Options

• Individually shrink-wrapped
• Multi-packs (4 to 8 units)
• Cartons of 20
• Units in bulk wrap for pallet or container load
• Container and Pallet Loads:

These quantities can also be hydro DHone to different items to make full container loads more efficient.

Applications and Benefits

• Orchid Potting Medium: Perfect for airy plants that need to breathe and drain, like epiphytes.

• Soil Conditioner: Enhances Clay Soil Aeration, Water Retention and Nutrient Deficiency
• Hydroponics & Soilless Media: Best as a coarse layer to be bottom/base of soilless production units.
