The coconut husk is cut in to random sized portions, which are called coco chips. They are then separated out into three sizes – small, medium and large. Coco chips can be used to replace the bark based growth medium for Orchids and in cut flower production facilities. Small size chips range from 6mm to 13mm, Medium range from 13mm to 25mm and Large range from 25mm to 50mm. Coco chips are easy to loosen up and process. By mixing this, the air filled porosity and capillary characteristics can be increased in the substrate.
