HiGrow® HydroChips – 100% Premium Coco Chips

Freshly Made Weekly | Spongy, Breathable & Moisture-Balanced Substrate

HiGrow® HydroChips is expertly crafted for growers seeking exceptional aeration combined with balanced moisture retention. Made from 100% large-grade coco chips, this mix provides a uniquely spongy, resilient substrate that supports healthy root development and excellent drainage - perfect for plants that prefer fast-drying root zones.

Unlike wood chips or typical orchid bark that are stiff and rigid, HiGrow® coco chips are naturally spongy and flexible. This texture allows roots to push chips aside as they grow, creating space for expansion while still retaining moisture inside each chip. This balance helps prevent root rot, encourages free root travel, and supports robust establishment - especially in potted environments where space is limited.

Our HydroChip is freshly processed weekly in small batches at Australia’s only indoor buffered coco facility, ensuring a clean, fluffy, and biologically fresh medium that outperforms imported, compacted substrates.

Ideal for orchids, aroids, succulents, and tropical plants that thrive with superior airflow and moisture control.
