Coco Coir Substrate
Create the ultimate, custom-blended living soil for your displays with our Coco Coir. Ethically sourced from coconut husk, coir is designed primarily as a clean, highly versatile foundational ingredient.
By offering unmatched moisture retention and structural bulk, it serves as the perfect structural base to mix alongside organic soils, hardwoods, and leaf litters—allowing you to fulfil the hydrological and burrowing needs of your exotic pets.
You can mix up a very simple substrate to house a variety of inverts like snails and cockroaches both long and short-term, and it makes up a lot of plant soils as well due to it being so high in carbon with good water retention.
Our coco coir is responsibly sourced and is completely sterile and safe to use straight away!
-
The Ultimate Mix Ingredient: Blends flawlessly with topsoil, sand, vermiculite, orchid bark, and mosses, allowing you to craft everything from bone-dry arid mixes to saturated tropical soils.
-
Unmatched Hydrological Control: Absorbs up to nine times its own weight in water, trapping a reservoir of moisture within the mix to maintain stable ambient humidity without creating muddy, anaerobic (oxygen-starved) zones.
-
Anti-Compaction Fibers: Keeps your custom soil blends from turning into a hard, dense brick over time, ensuring the ground stays aerated and roots can easily spread in bioactive setups.
-
100% Sterile: Professionally processed to eliminate wild pests, weed seeds, pathogens, or harmful natural salts, giving you a completely safe, neutral starting canvas.
