Coir is the fibrous material of the coconut fruit and is a completely homogenous material.

• The texture is consistent and uniform.
• It retains moisture well, as it is composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges that absorb and hold up to nine times it’s own weight in water. It has up to 27% of easily available water.
• It will hold and release nutrients in solution over an extended period of time without re-watering.
• It maintains an excellent air filled porosity (18%-23%).
• It has a natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5 and
• It has a naturally high lignin content which encourages favourable micro-organisms around the root zone.
