Poorly rinsed coir brings its own problem: excess salts that build up in the root zone. The Vivosun 1.4 lb Compressed Coco Coir Brick solves both. Each 7.87\" × 3.94\" × 1.97\" brick expands into 2.3 gallons of loose, airy growing medium with 1–2 gallons of water. The coir is rinsed multiple times with fresh water for balanced pH and low EC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from natural coconut husk fiber, the Vivosun Coco Coir Brick has a porous structure that drains freely and provides aeration while still holding water and nutrients where roots can reach them. That balance supports strong root development in seed trays, containers, and garden beds. Use it on its own as a soil substitute, or blend it in to loosen heavy clay and improve drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation takes about 15 minutes. Soak the brick in a large container, stir to break it apart, then mix in organic fertilizer; Vivosun recommends buffering with a cal-mag solution before planting. Compressed bricks store in a fraction of the space of bagged media and are available in 1-, 3-, and 6-packs. They're suited to vegetables, herbs, flowers, microgreens, and even reptile bedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\u003cvideo src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/videos\/c\/o\/v\/5698a37317184ab188cb61d7fd5e2b20.mp4\" style=\"width: 100%;
