Viagrow VCCB650-6 Coco Coir, 6 Pack, Makes 2 Gallons / 7.5 Liters / 8 Quarts, 650g Brick

This brand is better than the 2nd one I purchased.

I love this stuff, it is perfect for my needs. I use it in my corn snake's enclosure. It filled my 40gal long with about four inches of substrate plus a little more to put on top of one of her hides. Expands great, no hassle, but I recommend expanding it outside... It's pretty messy. I did it inside my kitchen though, and it cleaned up fine. It would also probably help to expand it in the enclosure.It holds humidity and burrows very well. I can see all her little tunnels on the sides of the tank, which is very cool. There is condensation on the glass under the dirt, but the top is fairly dry to protect against scale rot. Underground the humidity is probably 75-85%, maybe higher, and above ground I keep it between 30-60%, usually 30-40% on the cool side and 50-60% on the warm side. So basically, my snake can choose to be anywhere from 30% humidity to 85% humidity. I'm looking forward to her first shed so I can see how that helps! Her old enclosure really only has 30-50%, which is technically fine but would lead to incomplete shedding.I also have a ball python on a different brand of coco fiber (the fancy kind, I think it's the repti-chip brand) and honestly, I prefer this better. Cheap, clean, simple to use, no hassle. I may try using it on an arid species, but I'll have to let it air out for a long, long time. Plus, I have the option of putting plants in, which most reptile coco fiber would be difficult to use for that.I didn't even know my corn snake enjoyed burrowing until I got this!

It's exactly what I'm looking for, perhaps the packaging could be better because it made everything else in my package dusty/dirty but thats not a big deal.

Went to home depot to grab a 50 lb bag of play sand, and was going to do a 50% mix with another medium like topsoil or peat moss, but after a quick google learned about coco coir. HD had this brand by a 3rd party seller, so I just ordered off amazon instead (was better cost per unit too).It arrived 1-2 days later, took out a brick and placed it in a clear storage tote I got from walmart for $10, added maybe 3/4 gallon and had fun watching the brick soak up all the water & grow.After i broke the brick apart and mixed it evenly, added 50% of the play sand, now I have this amazing medium for my arborvitae cuttings. No regrets, very happy with this purchase

Each of the 6 bricks they send is at least a gallon by itself, once hydrated in a 1.5-2 gallon bucket. So makes 6, not just 2 gallons. Great for starting seeds and as a medium for ferns, cycads, bromeliads, orchids, etc.

Exactly what I expected, perfect for use as needed. Nice amount for price!

Too many cheap guys on the reviews complaining and crying about not getting their 650g. Whaaa. Whaa. "It is not 650g" I bought my 6 pack of this product and the first thing i did was add water and started seeding my seeds with great success, not weigh the bricks. It is still worth the price i payed for it even if less then the packaged weight.

The cheapest coconut coir listed. One brick will get you approximately 5-7 1020 trays. I used (3) foil baking trays per 1020 tray and gotten four harvests with reuse of coco coir in a few early on. I now just dump it after use because radish microgreens, which I mainly grow, tends to create a layer of roots which is a pain to separate. I'm now trying another medium.
