SOILICO CocoBase BRICK – Coconut bricks for terrariums – pressed, coarsely textured coconut chips in a space-saving brick form. The coconut brick is ideal for creating an airy, textured coconut substrate – clean to handle, easy to store, and versatile as a structural component , base layer , or mixed building block for humid setups.
What SOILICO CocoBase BRICK is used for in everyday life:
– Structure and air in the substrate : coarse chips loosen mixtures and add volume
– Useful for moist and natural setups : suitable as a structuring component in loosely structured substrates
– Can be used as a mix or zone : blended in as a structural component or used as a separate layer or sub-zone
– Space-saving storage : pressed brick shape, neat in storage and practical for stockpiling.
– Can be prepared with water : allow to swell, loosen, and then process according to the setup.
Typical areas of application:
– As a structural component for tropical or moist soils, so that the substrate appears less dense
– As a base layer or volume component in planted areas with a coarser, natural structure
– For larger setups where substrate needs to be stored efficiently, cleanly and in a space-saving manner.

Application:
Place the brick in a bucket or container and add water until it has fully expanded. Then loosen the material and incorporate it into the setup according to the desired texture and moisture level. For neat application, it is recommended to work in batches.
What is SOILICO CocoBase BRICK intended for?
+
SOILICO CocoBase BRICK is designed for setups that require a coarsely structured coconut substrate – as a structural component, base layer, or mixed component. The coarse chip structure makes the substrate appear looser and less compact.
How is the coconut brick prepared correctly?
+
Place the brick in a sufficiently large container and add water until it has completely swelled. Then loosen the material. This creates a coarse, natural-looking texture that can be easily incorporated.
How productive is one brick?
+
The brick swells considerably. The exact yield depends on the amount of water used and the desired consistency of the final product. This allows the material to be flexibly adapted to the specific setup.
Can SOILICO CocoBase BRICK be mixed with other substrates?
+
Yes. Coarse coconut chips are well-suited as a structural component to loosen up mixtures and give them more volume. It's best to mix them gradually until the texture and appearance meet the desired result.
How should the brick be stored?
+
Store in a dry and clean place. The compressed form keeps the product very space-saving and tidy in storage. Any swollen material should be freshly prepared as needed.
