Each piece of shell absorbs water and releases it gradually, while plenty of free space remains between the pieces, allowing air to reach the roots. For orchids, anthuriums, monsteras and other epiphytes, these conditions are close to natural: moist, but never “muddy”. Unlike bark, chips decompose more slowly and do not become acidic as quickly, while compared with peat they are lighter and made from a renewable raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBIOVITA's loose version does not require soaking and shredding like a briquette - open the bag and plant. Coconut itself is low in nutrients (which is an advantage: you decide how to fertilize), so the manufacturer recommends combining it with organic fertilizer or regularly feeding plants with liquid fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eHow to use, step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e the chips are ready to use. However, it is worth moistening them before planting - pour them into a bowl, cover with lukewarm water for several minutes and drain. Moist chips immediately adhere well to the roots; dry ones initially repel water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eOrchids and epiphytes:\u003c\/strong\u003e pour a layer of chips onto the bottom of the pot (preferably a transparent pot with holes), position the plant and loosely fill the spaces between the roots with chips - do not compact them. You can use the chips alone or mix them with bark and a small amount of charcoal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eAdditive to soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e add chips equal to 20–30% of the volume to substrate for foliage plants and aroids to loosen and aerate the soil. In a terrarium, create a 3–5 cm layer as a moisture-retaining substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eWatering and fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e water when the chips begin to dry out (they become lighter in color and weight) - orchids usually every 5–10 days, using the soaking method. Every 2–3 waterings, add orchid fertilizer or diluted organic fertilizer, as coconut does not nourish plants on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoconut chips are primarily a \u003cstrong\u003esubstrate for orchids\u003c\/strong\u003e (phalaenopsis, cattleya, dendrobium) and other \u003cstrong\u003eepiphytes\u003c\/strong\u003e, but they also work very well as an ingredient in \u003cstrong\u003ewell-draining mixes for aroids\u003c\/strong\u003e - monsteras, philodendrons and anthuriums - combined with BIGOS soil, perlite and coconut fiber.
