Composition & profile
A natural fibrous base that retains moisture without weighing the mix down
The material is already washed and buffered, so it can go straight into the mix. Choose the final ratio according to how much moisture the plant needs.
- Material coco coir: A fibrous organic material that distributes moisture and maintains natural air spaces.
- Ratio 10–50%: Used by volume as the base of a new mix, according to its moisture requirements.
- Feature buffered: Already washed and prepared, with no soaking required before use.
- Origin Sri Lanka: Sourced from a certified coconut-fibre processing farm.
Balanced moisture
Retains and distributes water through the mix, reducing very dry pockets.
An open, lightweight base
The fibres improve texture and help the mix resist easy compaction.
No preparation needed
It arrives loose and buffered, ready to measure and blend immediately.
Application steps
Adjust the ratio to the plant and the other components
Add 10–50% by volume to a new mix. Combine it with more free-draining or structural materials when the plant needs faster drying.
- Potting mix base
- Houseplants
- Seed starting
- Cuttings
- Terrariums
Start lower for plants that need faster drying and higher for mixes that should retain more moisture.
Use the same scoop for every component so the ratio remains consistent.
Combine it thoroughly with perlite, bark, pumice or other materials suited to the plant.
Water evenly and observe drying time before making any further ratio adjustment.
Coco coir does not add fertiliser
It provides moisture balance and structure. Nutrition must come from other ingredients or from a feeding routine suited to the plant.
