The material is highly absorbent (holds up to 8 times it’s dry weight in water!) and retains that moisture well, releasing it slowly to create a humid, tropical environment perfect for a variety of different reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis substrate works well as a stand-alone substrate for humidity-loving species, and for humid microclimates, but can also be used in bioactive substrates. When mixed into a bioactive soil mixture, the coarse pieces increase aeration, resist compaction and allow for drainage which are all beneficial factors in supporting live plant growth and clean-up-crew health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoconut Chips are long-lasting and naturally mold-resistant, so you won’t need to change or replace them frequently.

Break apart any remaining chunks and squeeze to remove excess water. Add the expanded product to the terrarium along, or mix with other substrates to create the perfect substrate blend for your needs. Spot clean substrate daily, and change completely every 3-6 months or as needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the substrate has been expanded, the Coconut Chips can be left to dry for use in dryer habitats.
