Exo Terra Coco Husk Compressed Brick

The Exo Terra Coco Husk is a natural coconut-husk chip substrate that ships as a compact compressed brick and expands into loose, springy bedding when you add water. The chunky husk pieces hold humidity while keeping plenty of air moving through the substrate, which makes it a great choice for tropical and rainforest terrariums and for burrowing or digging species. It is a renewable, biodegradable substrate that also works well in bioactive setups. Compare it with the finer Plantation Soil or top it with Forest Moss.

FAQ

Coco Husk or Plantation Soil?
Coco Husk is a chunkier chip that drains and breathes well and is great for high humidity and larger diggers. Plantation Soil is a finer, softer coir that packs down for burrowing. Many keepers blend the two.

How do I prepare the brick?
Soak it in warm water until it fully breaks apart, fluff it, then spread it across the floor. One brick makes a surprising amount of substrate.

Single or 3-Pack?
Choose Single for one enclosure or a refresh; the 3-Pack is better value for larger builds or keeping spares on hand.
