Compressed Coconut Coir Block
$9.99 AUD
Coconut Pith is made by taking the part of the coconut between the outer shell and the seed coat of a coconut. It is a brilliant environmentally friendly solution for hydroponic growing that can be used in a completely renewable way.
Specifications
There are countless reasons why coconut pith (also incorrectly known as peat) is one of the best hydroponic mediums to grow in including;
- It is 100% organic and naturally grown
- Great water retention - able to hold 8-9 times its weight in water
- The medium is renewably produced and completely reusable
- Biodegrades when mixed with regular soil
- Great aeration - facilitating good oxygen supply to your plant roots.
- It contains naturally occurring macro-nutrients, micro-nutrients and trace elements (although not enough to solar grow a plant without nutrients)
- Free from bacteria and fungal spores
Applications
Aside from being a great medium to use for micro-green growing in our incubation trays, coconut husk can also be used for plant germination and distributing heat from heat mats.
Instructions
-
Soak in water for 30 minutes
-
Place in microgreen growth tray
-
Add seeds over the top (pack densely as the sprouts will support each other's vertical aspirations)
