Coco Coir For Planting – Different Types and Uses of Coco Coir

In recent years, coco peat is well-known for an ideal alternative for traditional soil or peat moss with its benefits of maintaining moisture, regulating roots, improving crop productivity, etc. To get an overview about this superb growing medium, let’s refer to the excerpt below by EnvironSoil.

1. The shape of coco coir

  • Coco coir or coconut peat in the shape of fine powder is the product which is extracted and ground from coconut husks. It has the ability of good water and moisture retention, which create favorable conditions for root growth.
  • Coconut fiber: These are thin fibers extracted from coconut husks ranging in various sizes, around 2 to 5 cm. The fiber part has the effect of loosening the soil, keeping the surface moist and supporting aeration in the soil.
  • Coconut chips are small pieces cut from coconut husks with different sizes (1-3cm). It has the same good water retention ability as perlite with a much cheaper price. Coconut chips after treatment will assist in loosening the soil surface, increasing the ability of good drainage for the substrate.

Those three ingredients are blended with each other to become a mixture called coco coir or coco peat. Depending on customer requests or various applications, the blend ratio of coco peat will be adjustable.

This product is often used to grow climbers in greenhouses, poly-houses, etc. where modern operating equipment is available, suitable for short-term crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums and so forth, bringing high yields for plants.

They simply place the bags in specific areas, sow the seedlings into the substrate, water them and add more nutrients as needed.
