Coconut husk
Coconut coir is a natural horticultural substrate derived from the decomposition of coconut husks. Its fibrous and lightweight structure ensures excellent root aeration while promoting efficient drainage, essential conditions for many plants sensitive to excess moisture. It offers a sustainable alternative to peat-based substrates, contributing to more ecological crop management.
Used alone or in a mix, it improves the structure of substrates by preventing compaction and maintaining an optimal balance between air and water. Its ability to retain some moisture without saturating the medium supports root development, particularly for species requiring a well-ventilated environment.
Incorporate into potting mixes to improve drainage and aeration, or use as a primary substrate for epiphytic plants. Can be combined with perlite, pumice, or organic potting soil depending on specific needs. Adjust watering according to the drainage speed of the mixture.
Affected plants
Suitable for tropical plants, orchids, epiphytic cacti, caudex plants, and all species requiring high root-level air circulation and a non-compact substrate.
