- This is how wood fibers are removed from the Dollar Tree coco coir bricks.
Removing the wood fibers is my personal preference. I personally do not want wood fibers in the custom potting mixes I make for my indoor plants.
The Natural & Organic Expanding Soil Alternative coco coir brick can be found at Dollar Tree. (Get it if you see it!) It's made of 100% coconut coir and natural wood fibers.
Wood fibers can be beneficial to potting mixes, but because of my past experience with soil mites I prefer not to add wood or wood fibers to my potting mixes.
Again, the wood fibers do not have to be removed. This is just my personal preference and I wanted to share how I removed the wood fibers from the coco coir. I will be adding the wood fibers to my outdoor potting mixes.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day my friend
That is a great idea to separate the wood fibers out!! You make some good soils!!🪱🪱🪱
I try! Thanks for watching!
None of my wild yucca seeds are sprouting. The wild seeds that I collect in the desert are so finicky!! What are these bricks useful for? Do you think they would help?
How are you sprouting them? The only way I've gotten some red yucca seeds to sprout is using the paper towel method. I can't keep them alive though. I use these bricks for houseplants (I only use coco coir for houseplants, no peat). You can make a seed starting mix with it too. Actually, I did have one sprout in a plant I repotted using the potting mix I tried to sprout red yucca seeds in so it might help.
@VESMA - I am trying to sprout them in the native soil where I found the seeds. Wild desert plants are so difficult to grow because they can lie dormant for years until conditions are just perfect. I have tried the damp towel method with no success. I have never tried one of those bricks - I wonder if it would be worth it to try!!
If you see the bricks try it out! I remember with the last batch of red yucca I sprouted I scarcified some with sandpaper. They sprouted with the paper towel method, but it took weeks. Instead of using native soil try throwing them in regular potting mix with a houseplant and see if that works.
@@vesgardens - I am headed to Dollar Tree now! 👍
Are the wood fibers OK for outdoor plants? That's what I really got the blocks for.
Yes. I'll be using that container of wood fibers in my outdoor plants too.
@@vesgardens Thank you so much for your reply!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching, Teri!
