I leave it in the package, cut the top and push a big butcher knife into it a few times to sort of slice it into 4 slabs. I pull one out, drop it in a big TubTrug bucket and add water. I found you can reconstitute it instantly with HOT water. No waiting or letting it sit overnight, etc. I usually use half Perlite and half Coir for a mix and throw in some Worm compost for great seed starter and houseplant mix. I buy Perlite in bulk. I like that Coir doesn't get hard so the roots penetrate very well and the plants love it. Great mix for my coco fibre lined wire hangers I use for my Epiphyllums, Chenille and Immortality plants and even all my Cactus and Aloe varieties. I use a weak fertilizer solution everytime I water the houseplants. For the veggies and other edibles I just mix in compost, toasted/powdered eggshells and worm compost, followed with an organic fertilizer when watering. Not an exact science, I admit but works great for me. I even potted up an acorn from last year off my very old, big, Northern Red Oak Tree and that thing popped up and started growing like mad in this blend - roots just loved the looseness of the medium. I will reuse the medium for a few years in my vegetable planters and just freshen up with some compost, etc. and rotate plants in the planters yearly. I wasn't sure how economical this would be but it does make a very good amount of medium when reconstituted. I especially like that Fungus Gnats don't like it as I always have some of them even though I don't water much in winter and always try to make sure the tops of my house planters are dry. I mainly use my fish tank water for the houseplants ( no chemicals just fresh water for the big Goldfish tank - I just do 2 complete water changes a week utilizing the old water for plants ). I know it's not the way you are supposed to care for a fish tank but my fish are fine doing this. I just keep the water temperature the same and wipe out the tank with paper towels every water change and they thrive - however I do not have gravel to hold waste either, just 2 chunks of petrified wood for interest which I just scrub off a bit when I clean to renew them. I don't bother with all that water testing, adding chemicals, air pumps, filters, etc. anymore. This regimine seems to work just fine for them and my plants benefit from organically fertilized water. Perfect water for seedlings in a soiless Coir/Perlite potting mix - fish tank water gives just enough food along with a little worm compost until they are ready to be planted. Update: 6-21-2018 I've been using for a little while now. I really think that reconstituting / sterilizing it with boiling water, and adding in some Horticultural Charcoal which would help with filtering & fungus, etc. would benefit indoor plantings. I also notice alot more gravel, etc. than before. Like the muddy bottom of the coconut fibre pit. I don't know if it was the last brick I used or what but I find it grows mold too readily in the root system and I am careful when watering. My recent seedlings started off fine in this, then started peetering out, so I quickly removed and potted them in a bagged mix which also contained coir but bagged potting mixes are sterilized. Other seedlings definitely did better in the peat pellets. So, unless they start sterilizing this product for indoor potted plantings, I'd say safer to use it in outdoor situations and not for house plants. If you want coir for house plants, buy the light commercial bagged mixes that contain coir, maybe throw in some Perlite and Charcoal for good measure.

This media is expensive but I much prefer it to traditional potting soil. Now that I've tried it, I will be using this in lieu of potting soil from now on. It's lightweight and lends an airy quality to your grow media which should encourage better root growth. Once reconstituted, it looks like fine coffee grounds and has a nice texture to it. It is a "clean" material which allows you to amend the media as you see fit and you know exactly what's in it. Tips for first-time coir brick users who are casual home gardeners like myself : I found the best method for reconstituing the coir with water is to slice open the shrink wrap along the side of brick on only one side of brick. Then, using a large flathead screwdriver and a hammer, tap down center of the side of the brick, separating brick in two thinner bricks. This makes coir breakdown easier . Keeping in the shrink wrap in place keeps mess to a minimum. Once split, you can remove plastic wrap and fit each half in its own trash bag and fill with a generous amount of water and let sit overnight (I start with half full, you can always add more later if not enough to adequately reconstitute the coir media). This is handy if you don't need the whole brick or don't have a large bin/bucket to reconstitute the large brick in. I found that this technique makes it much easier, requiring much less effort to breakdown the super hard coir brick. My first few bricks I tried to wet the whole brick all at once and also did not soak long enough and I had to work very hard to break it down. Hopefully, this helps other first timers new to working with coir bricks avoid unnecessary frustration. Another tip - Like when working with mulch or landscaping rocks, figure out how much you think you'll need and add at least one extra brick because you always need more material than you think you will. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/5199539-fibredust-coco-coir-block-1-pk](https://www.desertcart.at/products/5199539-fibredust-coco-coir-block-1-pk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
