Medium grade
Medium Coco Husk Chips (4–12 mm)
A balanced, general-purpose chip range that combines structure with moderate particle variation, the starting point for many potting and greenhouse blends.
Structure and character
- Cut from coconut husk into a nominal 4–12 mm particle range
- Wider particle spread than the small grade, giving a mix of finer and mid-size cubes
- Creates moderate air spaces while still filling a container volume evenly
- Blends predictably with cocopeat, small chips, or other fractions
Typical application directions
These are directions buyers commonly take this grade, not guaranteed prescriptions. The correct grade always depends on crop, container, irrigation, climate, blend composition, and your own requirements.
- Potting mixtures for containers of most common sizes
- Nursery plants and container production
- Ornamental plants that want structure without very coarse chunks
- Greenhouse substrate blends and hydroponic media
- Growbag media manufacturing as a structural chip fraction
Considerations before you specify
- A general-purpose range is a starting point, not a prescription. The right grade still depends on crop, container, irrigation, and climate.
- If your recipe needs a tightly controlled particle curve, specify acceptable tolerances and the proportion of fines when requesting a quotation.
- For very coarse, air-dominated media (mounted orchids, large aroids), compare with the 4–16 mm grade before deciding.
What to specify when requesting a quotation
- Product format: compressed 5 kg block or loose
- Target particle distribution or tolerance, if critical
- Moisture requirement at loading
- Washing or buffering requirement, if any
- Order quantity and destination port

Frequently asked questions
Why choose 4–12 mm over the other grades?
The medium range suits buyers who want one chip grade to work across several products or crops. It adds air space and structure without behaving as coarsely as a 4–16 mm chip. If your application sits clearly at the fine or coarse end, one of the other grades may fit better.
Can I combine 4–12 mm with other grades in one order?
Mixed-grade orders can be discussed. Tell us the grades and quantities you need and we will confirm feasibility, packing configuration, and MOQ for the combination.
How consistent is the particle range?
Chips are screened to the nominal range, and every natural product carries some variation and a share of finer particles. If your process has strict limits on fines or oversize, state them in your inquiry so the specification can be confirmed against your requirement.
