I use the coir for seedling mix, rooting cuttings mix, container soil mix, even cactus mix, and can use for airlayer.Found some at the Hydro shop in san diego....a brick for 5.00 Hopefully I don't screw it up.What size brick... make sure its at least 5KG because the smaller sizes you will get less for your money.Here is a place decent price out in Temecula, if you found a $5 5KG coir block that is a great price (It sounds more like wholesale price).http://iehydrogarden.com/product/gh-cocotek-bale-5-kg-2/

I'll check out the store in San diego today and see if it's enough... I only need enough to smother the cuttings in plastic shoebox right Nullz? dampen the coir or ring it out? Then place the cuttings in the plastic shoebox smothered with the coir in a warm area maintained around 75 +/- 5? Open up daily to check moisture and possible mold?

I just recommended it because its so handy to have, and you will most likely want to use more very soon . Especially when you spend more time on this forum and thinking of what to plant next hehe.
First ever rooting attempt on the Highly Prized Col De Dame Noir from France... pre- treated withDip N Grow Rooting Hormone on the cuttings and placed in a Damp Coco Coir to promote rooting.... Thanks NULLZ!!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5SdjWRPmkE***This is Noir, Not Blanc as I mentioned on the video

Any of the chain stores should have it in the reptile/amphibian section.
