For the Coco Gardener

The substrate coir is derived from dried coconut husk and is often referred to as “coco”. Like soil, coco offers structural support to the plant roots, while also providing many additional desirable properties. Coco provides a suitable environment to support beneficial microbes, which are known to encourage robust plant growth. Coco is inert, pathogen-free, eco-friendly, and extremely friable. It also has a high water retention capacity, which allows gardeners to feed plants less often as nutrients are retained by the coco around the plant roots. Using coco within hydroponic systems allows gardeners complete control of the nutrient profile, thereby facilitating excellent growth and robust plant development.
