Buffered Coco Bliss (40lbs) - 100% Buffered Coco Coir - Organic Coco Coir for Plants, Garden Soil, & Potting Mixes - Coconut Fiber Substrate Mixes with Potting Soil for Indoor Plants & Outdoor Plants

At first I was not expecting this to go as easy as it was, but after slowly adding slightly warmer water (80 degrees over 1hr period, 8gal total) it expanded quite easily and did not require much of a break up by hand on my part. Although I had already broken the block into about 7-8 smaller chunks it did not take an incredible amount of skill to properly complete this task. The end product well above my expectations. Yielded approx. 17-18gal after adding 3 gal of perlite. Nice, light, slightly fluffy feel with proper amount of moisture remaining (not soaked/dripping wet). The fact is is already buffered is a big plus and saved a few extra steps. I will be using this going forward without hesitation until I see reason otherwise. FANTASTIC product.TIP: although the finished product was immaculate I'd say, It may require at least one rinse/drain rinse wash for "super fine dust fibers" of extremely tiny coco fiber dust before prepping or adding amendments or additives for you plants. I only had to wash/drain rinse one time in 18 gal tote bin with pre-drilled holes.

My plants grew new roots really fast and were really healthy when I used this coir as a mix combined with perlite and bagged potting soil. I think the fact that this coir is buffered really made the difference in plant health compared to some other bricks I have purchased at local hardware stores. Also This coir brick was easier to rehydrate than some other products and it was possible to break the brick into smaller chunks so I could rehydrate it in smaller quantities. I like this coir product so much that I’m going to purchase more of it and repot many of my plants into new pots using this coir as part of the perlite/potting soil I mix up. This coir does NOT retain too much moisture and works well for my small succulents when mixed with other soil components.

Doesn’t seem to have garbage and straw, like some other brands. It expands into unreal amounts of hydrated product. It even stays wet for days and is cooler than ambient temp for worm bedding. In the Texas heat, coco coir has been very beneficial for water retention.

The media could not be loaded. This is a really nice quality coco coir that is very fluffy and clean. There are no bugs or trash, smells fine, and has a great texture! This coco coir is a lot easier to break up than other ones. I took a few chunks out by using a knife because I didn’t want to use the whole thing right away. After soaking it in some water, it doubled in size!I wanted to try coco coir that was already buffered, so I decided to try this one out. It is a little bit more pricey, but I hope that the benefits are worth it. Hopefully my seedlings like it!

Main ingredient in my potting mix in my grow bags this year. I love the way it drains and holds water at the same time. It rehydrate faster if you break up as it absorbs the water.

I read up about starting plants in this medium. I added vermiculite to help with absorbancy and it was very easy to use. The package only tells you to add warm water, but not how much. The block was very solid and I used at least 5-6 gallons of hot tap water to soften it. I still had to wait for a few hours before I could finish plumping it up, but now it's good to go. I think I would get smaller blocks next time.

I’m very satisfied with the things I bought, the quality was good and delivery time was excellent!Let’s keep it going.

I put my coco coir in a tub and left it outside in the rain. It rehydrated very quickly. Holds moisture and saved my plants for rn dying in the hot sun
