CocoTek® is pH balanced and contains low sodium content for coir fiber. It increases water holding capacity and nutrient retention, expanding to 5 times its condensed brick size. CocoTek® can be mixed with any other growing media. The "mixed" brick contains coconut chips, fiber and fine coir to increase the structure of the media.
A compressed brick, block or bale should be soaked in water for at least 15 minutes before using. Coir can expand 5 to 7 times in volume. Make sure you have a large enough container when soaking your coir. Coir can account for up to 40% of a potting mix, so add it to your soil or as an ingredient of your potting mixes. Always keep the coir that you don`t use. Coir is a material that will keep its properties and can be stored/covered for several years. Helps develop more elaborate stronger root systems. Ph balanced mixture easily holds nutrients and gradually releases them to the roots. Saves on fertilizer by up to 30% compared to rock wool.
