Product Information

After another 4-6 weeks, plants will be outgrowing their pots and ready to move on. You can either pot into an intermediary 1 litre pot or they are ready for their final positions. Final pots should be 7 to 20 litres, depending on how much space you have. Again, using a free draining compost/coir mix, carefully pot on. Being derived from a coconut, the pellets have enough nutrients to sustain your plants, not to mention a neutral pH range of 5.2 to 6.8. Peat, for example, has a more acidic pH level of 3.3 to 4.0, which would require extra additives to make growing conditions more comfortable for most plants. For larger seeds such as tomato simply drop 1 or 2 seeds into the a coir pellet. I prefer to cover these larger seeds with a sprinkling of Vermiculite. (see offer) Everything in between the shell and the outer coating of the coconut seed is considered coco coir. There are two types of fibers that make up coir — brown and white. Brown coir comes from mature, ripe coconuts and is a lot stronger but less flexible. White fibers come from pre-ripe coconuts and are far more flexible but much less strong.

Mixes can be expensive: Garden suppliers know that coco coir can be annoying to work with sometimes, so they’ve started to offer coconut coir mixes. This saves a lot of time but is pretty expensive — and making your own mix isn’t too difficult. Types of Coco Coir We are an authorised dealer for Jiffy products.
