Coco Fibre (sometimes called Coconut Fibre Mix) is a natural blend of coco peat chunks and coconut husk fibres. This mix combines the water retention of peat-like material with the aeration and structure provided by coarse fibres, creating a balanced and versatile growing medium.
 
Uses for Plants:
Coco fibre is often used as a soil additive to improve both moisture retention and drainage at the same time. The fine peat-like particles hold water for consistent hydration, while the fibrous strands keep the soil light and airy, preventing compaction. This makes it especially useful for container plants, houseplants, and seedlings that need a stable yet breathable root environment.
 
Uses for Orchids:
When used for orchids, coco fibre provides a softer and more moisture-retentive option compared to pure chips or bark. The mix cushions delicate orchid roots, helping them stay hydrated without suffocating. The fibre strands also create tiny air pockets that encourage root growth and reduce the risk of rot. Orchid growers often combine coco fibre with other chunky materials for a well-balanced potting medium.
 
Uses for Terrariums:
In terrariums and vivariums, coco fibre is prized as a naturalistic substrate that mimics forest floor conditions. The combination of peat chunks and fibres allows it to hold humidity well while still remaining breathable. It’s suitable for reptiles, amphibians, and tropical plants, providing a comfortable, moisture-regulating base that resists compaction and mold.
