When hydroponic technology entered the scene of the horticulture industry, it seemed alien and unusual to not grow in soil. Now it is one of the most popular growing methods used by some of the top commercial producers in the industry. In a hydroponic system, a grower does not use traditional media, instead other medias are employed to provide a safe and secure growing area for plant roots to grow for happy and healthy plants. Of these medias, one of the most popular is coco coir. There are many benefits that make this media a go to for the majority of all growers in the hydroponic business.

What is Coco Coir?

Coco coir is a natural fibrous material that is found on the insides of coconut shells. This material was once thought of as a waste material and thrown away into compost bins and piles until research was conducted to find alternative methods of growing crops. Now this material is often used in the place of peat moss to aerate the soil or in hydroponic systems as a media. It should be noted that this material does not add to the nutrient content of the hydroponic solution and will not aid in growth through added plant nutrient support. However, this media offers other benefits beyond the realm of plant nutrients.

Benefits of Coco Coir

Although the first recorded use of coco coir was in the 19th century, the quality was missing to provide reliable results, so the practice died out into the sands of time. It was then rediscovered in the 20th century that coir was an eco-friendly option to growing crops and when combined with coco pith and coco fibers, the material proved to have excellent water retention and oxygen flow.      

Coco coir has several benefits that make it a go to source for soilless media growing for the commercial hydroponic industry. With higher yields and quicker harvests, coco coir makes crop production a breeze in comparison to traditional methods of cultivation. With the loose nature of the media, roots have plenty of space and can truly stretch out and have more room for water and nutrient absorption, and stability for the plant. The media is generally regarded as pH neutral having a pH in the range of 5.2-6.8. With its unique properties, coco coir is known to reduce pathogens and weed growth, as well as, reduce the risk for damaging pests in a grow operation. For the grower looking to minimize their impact and overall waste, coco coir plays right into the plan with its reusable and earth friendly properties.
