Coconut husk chips : your guide to CHCs

[Businti]

Thank you. Looking forward to your thread tomorrow on your mix. Is it the same in the USA as here in SA that the coconuts comercially available have already been peeled, and there is on ly a very thin hard outer sheel which protects the coconut milk and fruit? Could i still use them.

Alana is right on this one, we need the husk. But still the hard coco nut shell can be also used, you can pot small orchids, ferns and bromeliads in it after drilling a small hole in the bottom. I normally burn it into a charcoal that I add to my potting media.
