Gro-Med Coco Coir Brick 2s Pack – 1.4 lb Each,Expands to 20 Quarts, Enriched with NPK, Organic Potting Soil Mix for Plants, Seed Starting,Herbs,Flowers and Ideal Reptile Bedding for Snakes & Terrarium

These are amazing. When watered, these bricks become much larger than when they are dry. I've been using them in my raised bed gardens to lighten the weight of the soil, add nutrients, and make the soil less dense making it easier for vegetable and flower roots to develop. I've also used these with potted plants to help retain moisture and make the soil less dense. It's clean, easy to use and, so far, has been a great addition to prepping my raised bed gardens this year.

Love this dirt. Good quality for the price. It expands so I filled up a 12 gallon bucket, a 10 gallon bucket (only half way), and a 3 gallon bucket. It needed wayyyy more water than the box said to add though and it soaks it up pretty quick. I did notice my plants sprouted faster than the package said they would but idk if that’s the soil or what

Perfect drainage for cacti and succulents in the dry hot Arizona heat. I use this with my indoor plants also, never overwatering or no clogging for this medium. Good stuff for sure, and you can pre-fertilize it before adding plants. Win win Edit: tried using a different brand/seller for a faster delivery. There is definitely a difference between the two. I will not buy the other brand again, it was not like this brand at all. Took longer to make, longer to dry out and clumpy. Gro Med only for growing anything in hot dry climates, it absorbs perfectly and dries out super fast! No perlite or other medium needed.

I wanted to give it five stars but it did not seem to promote the growth of the plants very well. Admittedly, I did not add fertilizer or any other amendments. And that is probably the reason. So if I were to use this again I would probably mix in some compost with it. Maybe a four to one ratio. Four coco to one compost. The compost would have to be very well rotted and just fine matter. If used for seed starting. It was very impressive and the fact that it was a large volume for the price. Very easy to wet and have it expand into potting soil. Just remember that it is basically a potting media with no nutrients.

I’ve been starting seeds in a Burpee self watering seed tray starter tray for a long time and my germination rate has been close to 100%. But digging the little sprouts from the plastic starter tray is difficult and sometimes roots get damaged and the seedlings get stressed. These coco pellets are just what I needed! I hydrate them in warm water, plant the seed in the coir and place the pellet on the same self watering mat I have always used. Super easy to pick up and transplant with no fuss. I did a side by side comparison with these coir pellets and a peat pellet, placing them both on the same self watering mat. The seed in the coco pellet sprouted in about 48 hours and maintained a perfect moisture level as coir usually does. The peat pellet was overly soggy after sitting on the self watering mat for a while and the seed never sprouted even after 2 weeks. After transplanting into a clear cup I could watch the roots grow with no problem. I highly recommend this product.

I'm gonna say this is the best thing in a long time that I've gotten on Amazon as far as the quality. How long it lasts? How much you get? I still have so much of this left and I have used a lot of it. It just goes a long way. I use it in my house plants. I don't use it outside in a yard or anything like that. I've just chip away at the block because it comes very solidly packed. I chip away at the block and I water it and get it. Ready to go, and I've had to waste very little of it, sometimes, in the very beginning. It's a little hard to know how much to chip off the block, so just do a little bit at a time. To make sure you're not taking too much, because it bloats up very largely a lot, and then you end up with excess that you can't use, because you don't really want it to sit there. Wet and get moldy so you want to just take off enough if you're using it in house plants for each plant, just be cautious about that, but this is absolutely great stuffI'm gonna say this is the best thing in a long time that I've gotten on Amazon as far as the quality.

Great growing medium. I've used it for indoor cannabis growing and have had no issues whatsoever with it.

These actually helped my garden grow this last summer. They helped to keep the soil moist and it required less watering. It protected the seeds from getting blown off and I had less bugs. I spread it over an 8x2x12 area with just one box.

Bought 3 weeks ago already have Brussel sprouts 3 inches tall and all other seeds have very quick germination

Works great and expands quicker when soaked in hot water. You get what you pay for and when it absorbs the water, it shreads so easily and mixes so well with any other nutrient soil mix. I will be buying another and this review will not change if they keep the product as good as it is.

bonjour, bien recus.. il sont etroits mais gonflent enormement rapidement

Amazing! Filled 2 giant urns with one 10lb brick! I was so impressed with this coconut fibre that I came back for more! Got rid of all the soil in my plants, washed all my plants roots (I have hundreds of plants) and switched to this coconut substrate and I’m so glad I did! My plants are thriving more than they ever have! And it looks so much better in the planters than regular potting soil! I’ve tried a few other coconut substrate brands and this one so far is the best I’ve found. I’ll definitely be back for more!

It did really expand to a lot more & has made my plants very happy! The plants look healthy & have been growing faster since we changed their planter to a larger one & used this product.
