Coconut Coir: An Eco-Friendly Solution
What is coconut coir?
There's a new growing medium taking the hydroponics industry by storm: coconut coir, also referred to as coco coir, is a fibrous material extracted from coconuts, a 100% renewable and organic source. The fibers of coconut husks are commonly harvested and refined to be woven into various consumer goods, and coconut coir is made from the excess material cast off by this refinement process. When collected and washed, this material makes for an ideal hydroponic substrate medium for horticulturists and growers.
The Benefits of Coir
Coconut coir offers a myriad of unique benefits to the hydroponic grower. Compared to other popular hydroponic growing media, coir is the environmentally friendly choice. Coco coir boasts exceptional water retention, which decreases overall water consumption, deters the growth of fungal gnats and foliar disease, and retains nutrients.
Coco coir is also highly durable – it maintains its physical structure much longer than its counterparts without breaking down, even to the point of being reusable for multiple growth cycles. As growers worldwide work to embrace sustainability and reduce their environmental impact, coir stands increasingly alone as a product that truly exemplifies sustainability.
After extensive trials conducted in both indoor and greenhouse grows it has become clear that COCO is KING.
