Using Coir Husk Chips as an additive in potting mixtures creates a growing medium with the ideal physical properties. The chips can absorb water and yet leave enough air available for sensitive plants such as Gerberas and Orchids.

The qualifications of Husk Chips are very high; not only should the EC (electrical conductivity) be low, the material must be easy to process and must not decompose too quickly. Thanks to our knowledge of potting mixtures and other growing media, Dutch Plantin is able to produce Husk Chips that meets the following demands:
