The natural substrate for healthy, sustainable crops: coconut fiber
Coco fiber is a natural substrate that is becoming increasingly popular in the world of horticulture, particularly for indoor, hydroponic and outdoor cultivation. It is made from the husk of the coconut, a 100% organic and environmentally-friendly material. Highly aerated and lightweight, coconut fiber optimizes root aeration, promotes better moisture management and enhances plant growth.
The benefits of coir for your crops
- Excellent water retention: Coco fiber has a high water retention capacity, enabling constant moisture to be maintained around plant roots. This prevents water stress and helps your plants thrive.
- Good root aeration: Its light, airy texture allows roots to breathe and absorb nutrients more efficiently, promoting healthy, vigorous plant growth.
- neutral, suitable pH: Coconut fiber offers a neutral pH suitable for most plants. It helps avoid pH fluctuations in the substrate, which is essential for optimal root development and nutrient absorption.
- Enhanced plant growth: Thanks to its ability to retain water while allowing air to pass through, coir promotes rapid, robust root development, enabling your plants to grow faster and more vigorously.
- Ecological, sustainable substrate: Coco fiber is a renewable resource, obtained from the husk of the coconut, making it an environmentally-friendly choice. Unlike peat, which is a non-renewable resource, coir is biodegradable and contributes to the sustainability of horticultural practices.
