Coco Coir

Advantages of using Coco coir

Neutral pH: Coco coir has a neutral pH, which means it won’t significantly affect the acidity or alkalinity of your growing environment. This makes it versatile and suitable for various crops.

Resistance to Compaction and Decomposition: Unlike some other growing media, coco coir doesn’t easily compact or break down over time. Its fibrous structure remains stable, providing consistent support for plant roots.

Cation Exchange Capacity: Coco coir has a suitable CEC, allowing it to retain and release essential nutrients effectively. This property makes it ideal for hydroponic systems and soilless mixes.

High Lignin and Cellulose Content: The fibrous nature of coco coir comes from its high lignin and cellulose content. This structure allows for good aeration and oxygen penetration to the root system.

Sustainable and Reusable: Coco coir is an environmentally friendly choice. It can be reused, unlike some other planting media such as peat moss.

By using coco coir, you contribute to sustainability in gardening!
