This medium coconut chip substrate is a good fit for keepers who need a natural, low-salt base for reptile, amphibian and small mammal enclosures, as well as for epiphytic and tropical plants. It arrives as a compressed brick that is easy to store and transport, and it only becomes usable after soaking.
Why it matters
- Expands to 70 L+: the 4.5 kg brick increases in volume to over 70 litres once soaked, so one pack covers a substantial amount of substrate.
- Low salinity: EC below 300 µS/cm keeps salt content low, which matters in enclosures where animals may contact the substrate directly.
- Triple-rinsed, nearly dust-free: the chips are washed three times, which reduces airborne dust during handling and setup.
- Moisture retention and odour absorption: the material holds humidity and absorbs smells, and it is resistant to mould.
