Compressed coconut coir 650g is one of those products that’s simply worth keeping to hand, as it’s suitable for a wide range of uses in animal husbandry. It works well as a basic substrate for terrariums, as a base for mixes, and as a material that helps maintain stable humidity where it’s needed. Once soaked, the block expands significantly in volume, so you get a generous amount of ready-to-use substrate from a single pack.

Detailed product description

When soaked, coconut coir creates a light, springy growing medium with good water absorption. In practice, this means:

• it is easier to maintain the right level of humidity in the terrarium,

• the ground is suitable for digging and securing hiding places,

• It works well as a base for other decorations, such as sand, coconut flakes or moss.

In the keeping of bird-eating tarantulas, coconut peat is often the preferred choice, as it allows for the creation of a substrate layer suitable for both ground-dwelling and burrowing species. When properly prepared, it retains its structure, is not ‘sharp’, and works well in a terrarium.

In ant husbandry, coconut peat is mainly useful as a substrate component in the arena or in mixes when you want to improve moisture retention and achieve a natural look. It can also serve as a supplementary material in humid zones, depending on the setup.

Advantages

• high yield – when soaked, the block significantly increases in volume

• good moisture absorption and retention

• an excellent base for potting mixes

• convenient storage and portioning – the compressed block takes up little space

• a natural look in the terrarium and in the arena
