About this item

Pre-Rinsed & Pre-Screened Coco Coir - Every block of Plantonix Coco Bliss has been screened multiple times through an extremely small filter to get rid of any traces of fiber, sand, and rocks. This is what sets Plantonix coco coir apart, giving you the purest and cleanest possible coco coir for plants, unlike others who don’t filter their coco core for impurities.
100% Natural Soil Amendment for Plants - Coco peat is a 100% organic and renewable soil amendment that works perfectly as soil for gardening, succulents, herb planters, seedlings, vegetables, flowers, indoor house plants, indoor gardens, and as a mulch medium. Simply expand in water, then mix with potting soil for indoor plants or outdoor plants.
Excellent Moisture Retention - After expanding in water, coconut coir bricks can be broken up and used as seed starter soil in gardening pots, garden containers, and garden terraces. Coco fiber retains moisture to keep plants hydrated, even in dry or humid weather. With a high cation exchange capacity (CEC) and neutral pH, using coco coir bulk greatly improves nutrient uptake.
Improves Soil Structure & Aeration - Every coconut soil block promotes soil aeration and drainage, creating air pockets that prevent soil compaction while allowing oxygen to reach plant roots more efficiently. As the coco husk breaks down, it adds organic matter to planting soil, improving overall soil fertility in potting mixes and seed starting mixes.
Sustainable Growing Medium - Organic coconut coir bricks for plants are made from renewable coconut husks that would otherwise be thrown away. Unlike regular peat moss, coconut coir for plants is 100% natural and doesn’t contribute to the destruction of natural wetlands, making coconut fiber substrate an environmentally sustainable choice for your growing needs!

    I've bought this coir a number of times now, both online and in person, and it never disappoints. Each block takes nearly a gallon of water to expand, but it does so quickly, even with very cold water. It blooms to a very uniform texture that is perfect for seed starting, soil amendment, or simply planting in pots. After expansion, this is very absorbent but will not hold water to the point of drowning your plants.

    I use coir for gardening, vermicomposting, and growing starts.
    These are coir blocks. There's not a lot to note in description especially if you're familiar with this wonder.
    I've used well over a dozen from these folks and not once found chunks of unprocessed materials - which has happened with far more pricey garden center single blocks.
    They enthusiastically (QUICKLY!**) and comprehensively rehydrate and it just makes me happy every time.
    This coir rehydrates without any greasy residue on water surface or odd smell, which I've experienced with lesser quality products.
    This means I felt, and continue to feel, secure using it in my vermicomposting as well.
    For me, this is a soil addition that's *well* worth its cost in hanging on to liquid gold - water. This helps my container plants especially - as I live in an area where triple digits are the norm through the growing season. A generous addition of this means the difference between twice or single daily watering on the small containers which has several benefits.
    For anybody unfamiliar with coir, I find it also makes a much better medium addition than peat for starting seedlings. In my local climate peat moss plugs dry out too fast and well, making unhappy seedlings in their water repellant cubes. For the seedlings I do purchase, a little cocoon of this all around helps the roots grow past the peat = and then they can find water.
    So I'm here once again to stock up for next year because this amazing, versatile, RENEWABLE product also doesn't expire or go 'bad', you just need to keep it dry. Not that getting it wet spoils it, but it might do in the container.
    **The rehydrating thing- if you haven't used this stuff the blocks expand a LOT and a small bucket won't do. Even a 5 gallon bucket should be watched and keep the brick upright! Rehydrating goes very fast and the brick will want to fall over and before you realize it's capsized.... It is capable of deforming the bucket into an impressive oval before it shatters. Trust me. ????????

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Worth It, Best Peat Moss Alternative - Added 3 Year Update
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022
    I love this coir so much. Each brick is a great size, it's easy to hydrate, easy to store and lasts a long time for me. I mix it with coarse perlite, orchiata and horticultural charcoal and it works like a charm. A huge plus is that a little goes a long way. One 5 pack of it makes ~80 quarts of my potting mix, so as someone with a decent sized plant collection and lots of soil propagations going all the time, it's a massive help. It's just under $2.25 of coir in each batch of my mix as well, far cheaper than buying 80 quarts of a mix elsewhere even with my amendments.

    I very much dislike peat moss, from it's environmental issues, to it staying moist for too long, to getting a lot of mold and so on. Coco coir has been a great alternative for me as it holds onto moisture, but dries at a good rate so I no longer get mold, mildew or root rot. Because it's so light and airy, I haven't had any issues with soil compacting or becoming hydrophobic like with peat moss. All my plants have been much happier since I switched in January 2021, I'm never going back. Echeveria, agave, aloe, hoya, scindapsus, codiaeum, monstera, epipremnum, philodendron, ZZ, snake plants- you name it! They all love it.

    The only suggestion I have is if you want to switch your plants to coir, do it slowly! It'll take time for you to learn watering for each repotted plant.

    May 20th, 2024 UPDATE:
    This coir is still the best thing I have ever found. It's been three years since I started using it and my entire collection has been thriving! Incredibly healthy roots, no smell, fantastic aeration, great for propagation, and best of all - no gnats or other pests like with peat moss.

    I have bought the 5 pack of bricks four times (with about just as many gifted to me from family), and have bought the 10 pack recently. Over the years, consistency has been my biggest issue with ordering things for my plants. This coco coir has been one of the very few products that has not only remained consistent, but consistently amazing! Always very clean - no sticks, thorns, plastic, metal etc. throughout any bricks. I love this coir and for as long I have plants and it stays this nice, I'll never stop using it.

    This is a very nice peat moss alternative. It comes out a fluffy, dark, rich looking soil after it’s prepped. I mixed it using some 5 gallon paint buckets. I didn’t quite get the advertised 10.5G. Using 3 of the bricks filled up a bucket and all 5 wasn’t quite two buckets. I maybe had about 8 gallons worth of soil. There weren’t any foreign objects in it at all, it was very well screened which is great for use in a peat moss spreader/roller. All 5 bricks let me top dress 250-300 sq. ft. I bought another 10 bricks to finish the 1000 sq. ft. area. It’s pricey, but worth it if you don’t want to deal with having your local landscaping co. drop off pallets of peat.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great coco coir
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025
    This product has been awesome. It only loses one star because the bricks can significantly vary in size and it's impossible to just break off a chunk if a brick is too small and one is too big. Absorbs a ton of water and keeps my plants moist. Will continue to buy over and over

    preparing the coir is a bit messy so work someplace that is easy to clean up like over a utility sink or box .
    one brick makes a LOT of coir. I only needed a bit for my small hydroponic set up so I will have this for a long time. My plants seem to be growing quite nicely with it.

    We had some areas in the yard that swamped over in the rainy season. We used this as a top layer it no longer swamps. It absorbs rain water very well when it rains and evaporates dry once the sun comes out.
