Bio Leaf’s Coco Coir ‘Gerbera’ Chip is a high-performing, sustainable growing medium made from 100% natural coconut husk.
Unlike straight chips, this grade contains a balanced mix of pith, fibres and coarse chips, giving it an exceptional air-to-water ratio that suits a wide range of plants, propagations and growing systems.
Its naturally chunky, fibrous structure maintains excellent moisture while still providing strong aeration, making it reliable for potting mixes, raised beds, propagation, and general gardening.
This substrate is clean, consistent, and renewable — perfect for both commercial growers and home gardeners who want a versatile, dependable medium.
🌟 Key Benefits
✔ Optimal Moisture Retention & Aeration
The combination of chips, pith and fibre creates a substrate that holds moisture evenly without becoming waterlogged. This promotes healthy root growth, reduces transplant shock, and improves nutrient uptake.
✔ Balanced pH & Low EC
With a pH of 5.5–6.8 and low EC, the coir is well-suited to most plant species. It supports efficient fertiliser uptake and encourages vigorous foliage and flowering.
✔ Excellent Structural Stability
This coir grade resists compaction and slump over time, maintaining volume and porosity in pots, beds, and mixes. Roots stay oxygenated and stress-free.
✔ Sustainable & Organic
Made from renewable coconut husks, coir is naturally biodegradable, environmentally responsible.
✔ Exceptionally Versatile
Ideal for:
Indoor and outdoor potting mixes
Propagation
Raised beds and container gardens
Soil conditioning and improving drainage
Moisture-loving plants

⭐ Suggested Use
For potting mixes:
Blend with bark, pumice, perlite, zeolite or compost for custom mixes.
For semi-hydro:
Use as a moisture-holding component combined with chunky aeration materials (pumice, perlite, straight chips).
For raised beds & gardens:
Acts as an organic moisture buffer, improving soil structure and reducing compaction.
Please note: Loose coir chips are derived from rehydrated blocks and will contain some pith and fibre fines, giving them a slightly softer texture than dry compressed chip.
