Coir is made from grinding the husk of a coconut. It is an organic and environmentally friendly product used for horticultural and hydroponic practices.
This growing medium is the sustainable choice for soilless cultivation. Coir, also known as cocopeat, and has the ability to hold excessive amounts of water in, right levels of air porosity and deliver consistent supply of moisture and nutrient to the crop. Fibrous in nature, coir holds many air pockets, which helps the crops to root profusely. The rise in the surface area of the root system facilities the better absorption of nutrients from the soil. Coir also absorbs water rapidly and the high retention prevents the dehydration of plants in high temperature climates. Unlike other crop yielding products such as peat moss, coir is completely harmless to the environment.
