Coco Husk Chips

Coco husk chips are small, cube-like pieces cut from the outer shell (husk) of mature coconuts. They are a byproduct of the coconut industry and are widely used as a sustainable and eco-friendly growing medium in horticulture. These chips provide excellent aeration, moisture retention, and structure, making them ideal for various planting and hydroponic applications.
