MODELLOR Organic Coco Chips Substrate, 2 Bricks (1 kg), Expands to 15.4 L

MODELLOR coco chips are a washed, organic substrate for reptile habitats and plant growing, supplied as two compact bricks that expand to about 14 quarts (13.2 L) of loose chips.

• Triple-washed and low in salt — add water to prepare a cleaner-use substrate.
• Two 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) bricks, 2.2 lb (1 kg) total, expand to about 14 quarts (13.2 L) — store the compact bricks before use.
• Chips help control odors and hold humidity in reptile enclosures.
• Large husk pieces resist compaction and support airflow and drainage.
• 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable — a coconut-based alternative to peat moss or bark.

MODELLOR Coco Chips serve two practical needs: a loose substrate for reptiles and a moisture-balancing growing medium for plants. The compressed bricks take up less storage space before hydration than bulky bags of loose bedding, then expand when water is added. Use them indoors or outdoors for enclosures, potted plants and decorative mulch.

Are these coco chips suitable for reptile bedding?

Yes. Once hydrated, the chips provide soft bedding that helps control odors and retain humidity in reptile habitats. They are intended for snakes, lizards, geckos, iguanas, tortoises and amphibians. The chunky husk pieces resist compaction, helping preserve airflow through the substrate, and are made for longer-term bedding use.

• Suitable for reptile enclosures and amphibian habitats.
• Resists mold, as well as compaction, according to the product’s stated features.

Can I use MODELLOR Coco Chips for orchids and other plants?

Yes. The chips are suitable for orchids, bonsai, anthuriums and tropical plants. Their structure supports aeration and moisture balance around roots, helping promote deeper roots and vibrant blooms. Use them as a plant substrate or as decorative mulch indoors or outdoors.

• Large coconut husk pieces provide a chunky growing medium.
• Suitable for indoor plants and garden use.

What comes in the pack, and how do the bricks expand?

The pack contains two compressed coco-chip bricks, each weighing 1.1 lb (0.5 kg). Add water to the bricks to expand them into approximately 14 quarts (13.2 L) of loose chips; the amount of water needed is not specified here.

• Triple-washed before packing and low in salt.
• Made from natural, biodegradable and renewable coconut material; identified as organic.

These coco chips suit reptile keepers who need humidity-retaining bedding and plant growers looking for a chunky medium for aeration and moisture balance. Their compressed form stores compactly, while the expanded chips serve habitats, plant pots and mulch applications. MODELLOR Coco Chips are a two-brick coconut substrate for indoor and outdoor use with reptiles and plants.
