Description:
Coco coir is the foundation of a healthy, thriving terrarium.
Made from natural coconut fibres, this layer acts like a sponge — holding just the right amount of moisture while still allowing airflow around your plants’ roots. This balance is what prevents root rot while keeping your terrarium environment humid and stable.
It creates the main growing medium for your plants, giving roots something soft, breathable, and nutrient-friendly to establish in.
Without a proper base like coco coir, terrariums can quickly become too wet, compacted, or unstable — leading to unhealthy plants.
