Directions
• Watering Instructions Coir holds more water than any peat based medium. Adjust watering accordingly by initially checking the weight of the pot. Coir may appear dry on the surface but be sufficiently moist beneath.• Fertilizing Instructions Fertilize at the first watering. Increased fertilizer rates may be necessary due to less frequent watering and excellent root growth.• For PottingFill the pot very loosely with CocoTek Premium Coir and plant, minimizing compression. Water well. Potting soil may be mixed with Coir at 1:2 ratio and used as a soil conditioner.• For Conditioning of Soil For every type of soil, environmentally friendly Cocotek Premium Coir is ideal as a soil conditioner. It is very fibrous and will help break up clay soils, giving porosity, drainage and aeration. In sandy soils, it will bond together to retain moisture, and vital nutrients. • For Seed Germination Fill seed tray with Cocotek Premium Coir, level off, pack lightly, water well and allow to drain. Sow seeds as required. Water sparingly. • For MulchingEnsure that the surface is free of weeds. Spread 5 – 7cm (2 – 3”) of Cocotek Premium Coir which will inhibit the growth of weeds and retain moisture in the soil. It will also protect the roots from frost during the winter and scorching sun during the summer. During the winter, perennials can be protected from severe weather by a mulch of 2.5 – 5cm (1 – 2”). Work this into the surrounding soil in the spring.

Coco Facts• Each coconut tree yields an average of 70-100 nuts per year• Almost all parts of the coconut are used for food or industrial purposes making coco an ideal renewable resource.• Coco has an ideal pH range of 6.0-6.8.• High lignin and cellulose content• Reduces watering frequency without plant stress• High water holding capacity while maintaining excellent drainage and aeration.• Coco coir is odorless, pleasant to handle, and uniform in composition.• Coir has a high cation exchange, meaning it can store unused minerals to be released to the plant as and when it requires it.
BenefitsCocotek Premium Coir is a sustainable alternative to peat moss that is quickly and easily renewable. It does not produce the same environmental damage caused by peat mining. CocoTek Premium Coir is easier to hydrate and lasts longer in soil than peat moss. CocoTek Premium Coir is also naturally free of bacteria, plant disease, fungal spores, weeds, seeds, and pathogens making it a superior growing media.Cocotek Premium Coir is an ideal medium for encouraging roots to develop to their full potential due to its high levels of aeration and remarkable drainage properties. Its high buffer capacity also assures that CocoTek Premium Coir will hold and release nutrients over extended periods of time, optimizing plant growth.
How Its MadeCocoTek Premium Coir is the outside layer of husk that surrounds the shell of the coconut. After coconuts are harvested, the fibrous husk is removed from the coconut seed. The husk is processed through hammer mills to crush and separate the fiber, followed by processing the material through rotary sieves to separate long fiber and coir pith particles. CocoTek Premium Coir is harvested, processed and then soaked over a long period of time to rinse any built up salts and attain a desirable EC. The coir is then dried to an ideal moisture ratio before being tested and sieved to avoid lumps and extraneous material. Quality control is very important in the process and pH and EC are tested multiple times throughout to attain maximum consistency.
