Know before you buy
Once fully hydrated, this 12 kg brick expands to provide approximately 4.5 cubic feet of growing medium.
Coco coir is an inert growing medium, meaning it does not contain inherent nutrients. You should mix in your preferred organic fertilizer or compost to provide the necessary nutrition for your plants.
Place the brick in a large container and add warm water gradually. Allow it to soak for about 20 to 30 minutes, breaking it up as it expands until it reaches a fluffy, soil-like consistency.
Yes, its fine texture and excellent aeration make it an ideal medium for seed starting. It provides a consistent environment that encourages delicate roots to establish quickly.
While you can use it alone for certain applications like seed starting, it is best used as a soil amendment. Mixing it with garden soil or perlite helps improve drainage and structure for long-term container gardening.
With a pH range of 5.7 to 6.8, this product is naturally near-neutral. This makes it highly versatile and compatible with a wide variety of plants, as it won't significantly alter the acidity of your existing soil.
