About Coir

Coir (from Malayalam kayar, cord) is the coarse fibers extracted from the fibrous outer shell of a coconut. Coir is a 100% natural and renewable resource. It has spongy characteristics, possessing excellent air space and drainage with a water holding capacity of > 70%.

How to Use Coir

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. The actual volume that a brick of coir will expand too depends on the amount of water used, but here is a general estimate of volumes that each size brick will expand to:

• 5kg block = 20 gallons
• 650g block = 2.5 gallons
• 250g block = 1 gallon

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.
