Coconut Coir

About Coir

Coir is a 100% organic granular by-product that remains after extracting the long fiber from coconut husks. Coco fiber is practical and easy to use. After being screened, graded and washed to remove salt residue, it is compressed into bricks. Just add water and these bricks will quickly expand in size.  Coir is a 100% natural and renewable resource.

When using coir as a soil amendment your plants require less fertilizers, develop more elaborate and stronger root systems, and are more resilient to disease, pathogens and weeds.

Coir Uses

Coir has many different uses. It is a good product to use to improve the flow of moisture in your gardens. It is also a great mulch and soil treatment, allowing you to turn clay and sandy soil into an effective growing medium. Coir can help control soil erosion and is a great bedding material for worm composters. It is also a great hydroponic growth medium which helps to facilitate seed germination. By adding one part coir to two parts top soil you can make a perfect growing media for container or potted plants.

How to Use Coir

A compressed brick, block or bale should be soaked in water for at least 15 minutes before using.  Coir can expand 5 to 7 times in volume, so make sure you have a large enough container when soaking your coir.

Coir can account for up to 40% of a potting mix, so add it to your soil or as an ingredient of your potting mixes.

Always keep the coir that you don't use. Coir is a material that will keep its properties and can be stored covered for several years.
