1. Coir pith is a plant growing medium derived from the Husk of Coconuts.
2. It is a 100% natural growing medium and bio-degradable.
3. Excellent water holding capacity.
4. The Coir pith particles are granular and provides excellent airspace for better root aeration, root growth, as well as drainage.
5. The material can absorb the applied nutrients on it’s spongylayers and release to the plant roots, whenever required.
6. The material is free from weed seeds, stones and harmful micro-organisms.
7. It does not pollute the environment, when disposed off after use.
8. Replaces use of peat moss, rock wool and similar material, there by safe guards environment.
9. The material could be compressed in dry condition and a large volume of loose material could be contained in a small space. The material re-constitutes immediately on contact with water.
