Medicoir Pop-up bags are also known in the industry as OTC – Open Top Containers. Pop-ups are an extremely convenient substrate solution designed to save you time and money. Professional facilities around the country, Canada, USA and Portugal are turning to Medicoir Pop-ups as the coir blend is unrivalled in terms of quality and performance. In addition, Medicoir has taken extra care to cater to the medical market, each OTC is numbered and traceable, each batch has a Certificate of Analysis with microbial and heavy metal reports, making this product compliant and audit ready.

• EC <0.3/cm

• pH = 5.6-6.4

• Air Filled Porosity = 25%

• Water Holding capacity = 55%

• Optimal blend called PPU. Medicoir PPU (Precision Plus Ultra) is a blend of Ultra particles (small chips of husk), coir fibre and coir pith.

• Uniform product. The blend is mixed with precision, for known and repeated results.

• Buffered coir. Harmful salts have been removed and it is ready to use. Coir that hasn’t been buffered correctly will “rob” Ca and Mg from your nutrients and leave your plants defficient.

• Inert. It has a very low ec, which gives you the “steering wheel” and you are in control with the nutrients you want to deliver.

• Sustainable. Coir is an extremely sustainable product that is readily available, and its production has a very low impact on the environment.

• Compliant. Every bag is numbered so every pop up and plant is track and traceable. We supply COA (Certificate of analysis), that includes microbial and heavy metal analysis. This is ideal for medical facilities. The product is audit ready.

• Compact. You no longer need to spend money on expensive logistics or valuable storage space. The coir is compressed – 4L = 2600/pallet and 7L = 1600/pallet.

• Easy to use. Simply place the pop up on the rolling bench, position the Netbow or dripper spike in the back and turn on your irrigation.

• Clean. No loose substrate that can make a mess.

• No capex cost on rigid pots. No need to invest in expensive plastic pots.

• No cleaning. Washing and preparing pots for the next planting cycle is expensive and time consuming.

• Hygienic. Used pots that haven’t been sterilized or washed correctly could be a source of virus and disease.

• No potting. Filling pots is time consuming and an expensive labour cost

• Reduced SOP. With all the above benefits, facilities have a reduced and simplified SOP. Less strain on the team and management.

• Improved performance. With better structure, better aeration, better drainage, good cation exchange you will notice your crop will be more uniform and should yield higher as a result.

• White/Black Co-extruded plastic bag. The white outer layer reflects heat keeping your root zone a few degrees cooler.

• Money saving and more profitability. On invoice, they may cost more than loose fill substrate, but add all the benefits and savings and they will deliver a higher ROI (Return on investment) than any other solution.

When re-hydrating your Medicoir Pop-ups, we suggest that you charge the coir by irrigating the coir as you rehydrate with your nutrient water to ensure that you start adding the nutrients that you want on the coir complex. This way when you plant the cuttings, they will take off quickly.
