Soil Mixes That Truly Understand Your Plants Not all soil mixes are...

Coconut husk chips are a versatile, sustainable solution for indoor gardening, terrariums, and tropical plant care. This chunky, breathable organic material improves soil structure, enhances moisture retention, and promotes healthy root airflow. At Sybotanica, we offer clean, eco-friendly coconut husk chips that are perfect as a potting mix additive, mulch layer, or even as isopod food. It’s basically a much chunkier version of coco coir used for houseplant soil.
These lightweight substrate chunks are slow to break down, making them a long-lasting and functional element in any indoor growing setup. Use them on their own or blend into a custom mix to improve water distribution and soil aeration without compacting the soil.
These coconut chips offer an impressive balance of drainage and hydration. The airy structure prevents waterlogging while allowing roots to breathe, making it ideal for plants that hate soggy soil—especially tropical species like monstera, philodendron, or orchid.
Unlike horticultural orchid bark or pine chips, these coco husk chunks hold water effectively without compacting or breaking down quickly. This makes them a superior choice for growers looking for a low-maintenance, sustainable growing medium that’s both functional and long-lasting.
Coconut husk chips aren’t just for houseplants. In terrariums and bioactive enclosures, they serve as a clean, chunky substrate that boosts airflow, retains humidity, and creates a more natural environment. Isopods and springtails feed on the material as it slowly decomposes, making it a dual-purpose food and bedding source.
As a natural mulch, they insulate the soil surface, protecting plant roots from temperature swings and helping retain moisture. Use them as a top layer for potted plants, outdoor containers, or indoor tropical species that benefit from consistent humidity.
Made from the outer husk of coconuts, this byproduct is a renewable, sustainable fertilizer alternative that makes use of waste material from the coconut industry. These chips are processed without harmful chemicals, offering a clean, chemical-free option for improving soil performance.
At Sybotanica, we value ingredients that support both plants and the planet. These coconut husk chips meet our sustainability standards and come in compact, resealable packaging that’s perfect for small-space gardeners or large-scale soil mixers.
These chips integrate seamlessly into Sybotanica’s SYBASoil recipes—soil mixes specially crafted for 16 plant families. Whether you’re refreshing a houseplant’s soil, building a terrarium, or setting up a propagation tray, these husk chips offer essential support for better drainage, aeration, and microbial activity.
With their slow decomposition, lasting texture, and broad usability, coconut husk chips are an essential tool for plant parents looking to upgrade their indoor gardening game.

What is the difference between coco husk and coco coir?
Coco husk and coco coir come from the same plant, but there are a few key differences between the products.
Coco coir is much more processed and often used as a replacement for peat moss in potting mixes. It has a delicate, soil-like texture.
The primary purpose of coco coir is to retain moisture & nutrients, which is why it's typically used as the base of a soil mix.
Husk, however, is much more coarse and consists of chips. Coco husk is usually added to potting mixes as an amendment.
It's primarily used to create air pockets in the soil and promote drainage. Coco husk on its own does not retain enough moisture to grow healthy plants!

Why Coconut Husk Chips for your plants?
Ready-to-use (buffered) soil aerator and drainage improver
Add 25-30% to your SYBASoil mix
Thick-rooted plants that prefer aeration and drainage, like most Aroids
Buffered and ready to use.
Washed with natural rainwater from a certified farm.
Our coconut husk comes from a certified (RHP/ECAS) farm in Sri Lanka ensuring:
- Fairly paid workers (which sadly isn't always the case for this product)
- A quality product, washed & cleaned with natural rainwater (so there is no clean water waste).
The supply chain is currently longer than we would like it to be. But we're working hard at finding a replacement for Coco Coir and Coconut Husk Chips with similar qualities as these materials.
We are running multiple tests with Wageningen University to find a suitable alternative. But we haven't found a winner yet.
