- Is a practical alternative to peat moss
- Is a multi-purpose growing medium
- Has high air porosity
- Retains and drains the right amount of water
- Enhances the root growth of plants
- Is a product with high longevity that allows for a lifespan of several years without decomposition altering its consistency
CoirGreen® coir disks can be used in many large scale nurseries and greenhouses, and allow for effective weed control. It is renewable and 100% biodegradable. Notably, coir disks:
- Protect soil from draining its natural fertility
- Have no impact upon the natural environmental cycle
- Retain the right amount of water
- Are easy to maintain and use
- Have good aeration capacity
CoirGreen™ coir pots are made of natural coco fibre and rubber, and are ideal for use in horticultural farms, greenhouses, flower gardens and nurseries. They are elegant and 100% biodegradable. When used for commercial horticulture they will allow growers to plant the pots directly into the ground, thereby surpassing the usual “transplant shock” phase that can become problematic. It also allows for aerial root pruning which means that the roots of the plants will penetrate the walls of the pots and come into contact with air. At this stage the roots stop growing and give way to root buds that then develop into secondary roots all throughout the pot. Further, coir pots:
- Add texture to soil when they decompose
- Are a great source of carbon when added to a compost heap
- Have better water absorption capacity
- Help Increase microbial activity
- Moderate moisture
- Are sustainable
- Have high tensile strength
- Longevity with no degradation (5+ years)
- Clean, consistent and zero wastage
- Excellent drainage
- High cation exchange capacity
- Reduced fertilizer application by 30%
- No stress on the plant after repotting
- Neutral pH
CoirGreen® nursery bags are made entirely of coco peat, which is a natural and renewable product. The plants grown in these will require less frequent watering due to the high-water retention capacity of the bags. Other benefits include;
- Easy handling and planting
- Multi-purpose growing media
- High aeration or air porosity
- Absorbs water in the adequate amount only
- Providing a perfect medium for a strong and robust root system
- Cocopeat can be treated
