Coir fiber is a kind of  natural fiber extracted from the coconut shell, used to make products such as carpets, brushes, mattresses and other products. It is environmentally friendly, helps retain moisture and aerates soil, and can also be used as a growth medium for hydroponic gardening.

Best Features of Coco Coir

High water retention and drainage

 The natural ventilation structure of this environment allows it to store 8 times its weight in water. However, since the material is fibrous, moisture will flow well to the bottom of the container.

Low compression

The thick and strong fiber resists extrusion. More air space means more oxygen can reach the roots. Containers filled with coconut fiber will not "sink", just like peat and other soilless media.

Low maintenance. Coconut requires less maintenance than traditional potting soil because it retains moisture and nutrients.

Care for nature

Coconut fiber is 100% natural and biodegradable. As a renewable raw material (coconut-coconut is obtained from processed coconut crumbs), it is becoming more and more attractive to gardeners, especially as a substitute for peat (considered an indispensable substance that is quickly used by the gardening community). Renewable resources).

Resistance to disease

The reduction in water caused by good drainage means fewer diseases affecting coconut seedlings.

Nutritional balance

As we all know, high-quality coconut fiber has a neutral pH (average 6.06.7). Calcium and magnesium, especially potassium, are part of the coconut and are all the nutrients needed for the growth of tomato seedlings. (Warning: low-quality coconuts with high sodium content.) Remove excess salt from the bonito.

Irrigation

Coconut has a high degree of water retention and does not need to be watered as often as other soils or soilless media, but this huge advantage makes it a little habit to use coconuts. Since coconuts are coconuts "not watered" because they drain well, remember that coconuts also hold water well. Its surface may look dry, but only an inch below it can remain moist. Check the watering situation carefully. Even in the driest conditions, coconut coconuts do not need to be watered more than every other day.

How to grow a starter from tomato seeds?

Coconut pot is a good choice for starter culture.By eliminating the need for transplantation, they can save time and be root-friendly because they can be planted directly in the garden or even in larger containers. For example, steak tomatoes are best stored in larger containers to keep the tomatoes away from the top of the plant. Larger containers also provide space for plants to grow.

In order to prevent root rot, it is important to keep the soil moist and not soaked. Irregular watering can cause the flower tip to rot, which is difficult to detect because the symptoms are rot rather than leaves or stems. Observation deck on the tomato flower. This problem occurs when plants are grown in low-calcium soils or plants are not watered frequently, which reduces the ability of plants to absorb calcium. Growing tomatoes with coconut will help maintain adequate moisture.
