💡 Tips for Best Results:

Pre-soak coconut husk chips overnight before use to fully hydrate and remove any residual dust. Mix coconut chips with charcoal and perlite for a custom orchid blend. Use in well-draining orchid pots to maximize airflow and moisture control. Re-pot orchids every 1–2 years or when chips begin to break down.
