Great for plants, to help chunkify a mix. It does absorb water, so may not be the best for succulents or cacti, but I have used it for orchids. Time will tell how they like it, but it makes a nice chunky airy mix that drains fast but also maintains some moisture. I feel like it will make a humid environment around the roots which orchids like. I tend to underwater my orchids, so I am excited about this substrate.It is compressed, adding water will help plump it up. The block is easy to break off pieces if you just need a bit.For reptiles, this could be used to help increase the humidity in certain spots of the tank, or the whole tank if needed.Price is good; this is about the price of the coco coir that's more broken up for a block this size. Much better than peat, so for me it is worth the extra cost.Not only is coco coir using a by product and making something usable, it is an excellent substitute for peat.Despite what companies say, peat is not eco-friendly, nor renewable. It can take 1000 years to make an inch of peat, and that isn't even considering the habitat loss.

I am reviewing Repti360 brand coconut chip substrate block, which at the time of this review was $21.99 for a 10lb block. Having used a similar product before in the garden, coconut coir, I wanted to try this out for similar use in order to add more 'bulky' components in my soil mixes. As with a coco coir brick, this is pretty tricky to get out of the bag, but if you hack away at it for a bit it'll start coming loose. Or just throw the whole thing in a wheelbarrow or rubbermaid container and get it all wet at once. I do like the variety of sizes of the chunks, which will meet my needs.A couple of issues, though. The product is advertised as "100% natural coconut husk, free from dust, dirt, and harmful additives. " However, I found strips of black plastic inside the brick. Not a *huge* deal, but certainly made me second guess using this for my original purpose. Also, I didn't get nearly the expansion that was expected based on the 72 quart (18 gallon) claim. It expanded a little, but not that much!
