Meet the 100% Coir Coco Block 5kg — a compact, eco-friendly growing medium that expands to a generous 80 liters of rich coco coir substrate. Crafted from natural coconut husks, this peat-free option lets you garden with a lighter environmental footprint while giving your plants the robust support they need.

Key benefits

  • Peat-free and sustainable: A renewable alternative to peat moss that helps preserve wetlands while delivering reliable structure for roots.
  • Effortless expansion: Simply soak the block in water and watch it transform into up to 80 liters of ready-to-use growing medium. Easy for beginners and quick for seasoned growers.
  • Balanced drainage and moisture retention: The airy coco coir texture provides excellent drainage to prevent root rot, while still holding sufficient moisture between waterings for steady plant hydration.
  • Promotes healthy root development: Improved aeration supports stronger root systems and vibrant foliage, contributing to better overall yields for vegetables and richer blooms for flowers.
  • Versatile and user-friendly: Ideal for containers, raised beds, and seed-start setups. Suitable for a wide range of plants and easy to rehydrate or refresh as your garden evolves.

How to use

  1. Soak the 5kg coco block in clean water until fully expanded.
  2. Gently break apart and fluff the material to a light, airy texture.
  3. Fill pots, planters, or beds with the expanded media and water according to your plant’s needs. Avoid over-soaking to maintain optimum drainage and aeration.
