Coco Coir Brick for Plants-6 Pack Premium Coconut Bricks, 100% Organic Peat Moss, Fiber Coconut Husk for Planting, Gardening, Potting Soil Substrate

Great stuff! Great price! This stuff works great!

I use this for potted plants. I use far less water than recommended and use hot water. I would say I used 2-3 quarts per brick. What you see in the picture is two bricks. I applied one quart of hot water at a time and broke up the bricks as I went, and I continued this process until I had a full bin of the Coco. Keep in mind if you are using this for plants, you should add a cal/mag supplement as well as fertilizer.

Don’t be deceived when you open the box and see 6 bricks all different sizes. If you put them on a scale, the total weight will likely be above the description weight of this item. Other review showed and complained about the coconut fiber being too fine and making mud. TOO much water added to any substrate, will give you muddy results. Add your water slowly, more as needed, and you will end up with a perfect natural and nice spongy mix. I’d definitely buy from this vendor again.

I have no other brand to compare it to, but this seems to do what it is expected to. My only complaint is the instructions... it says 4-6 quarts to rehydrate. 4 quarts is 1 gallon. I would expect to add 4 quarts and wait 30 minutes, then add more as needed. But nope - 4 qts is way too much water. For the next brick, I'll try half the amount and add from there after 30 minutes of soaking. Another tip- use a shallow wide container rather than a narrow deep one - easier to break apart and the bricks don't need to submerge (they float anyhow) they only need to be in contact with the water.

Perfect

I ordered the 12-brick package of coco coir and unfortunately my box only arrived with 11 bricks. The bricks themselves were just thrown loosely into the shipping box and the wrapper/label that was supposed to hold them together was tossed in separately, so the packaging definitely didn’t feel very secure or organized. I’m currently in the middle of building my garden beds and needed the materials right away, so I contacted Amazon hoping they could simply send the missing brick instead of having me return the entire package. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option and the only solution offered was to return the whole order. Since I’m actively working on my garden right now and trying to finish by the 1st, returning everything and waiting for a replacement just wasn’t practical. That said, the product itself is excellent. The coco coir bricks expanded beautifully, hydrated evenly, and the quality is honestly fantastic. I had zero issues with the coir itself and would absolutely use this product again. My dissatisfaction is strictly with the packaging and the lack of a simple solution for a missing item. If the packaging and fulfillment process were improved, this would easily be a 5-star product.

Love these

Went a long way and helped allot. Grew mushrooms in it for some reason but that’s nothing, just picked them out every so often till it stopped doing that. Lol
