Coir & preparation
Prepare cocopeat for planting
Start with the label and batch instructions. Preparation depends on the product’s treatment and your crop, rather than one universal soaking recipe.

Why the root zone matters
Small coir volumes can change moisture quickly and need close nursery observation.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check the expanded size and any sleeve
- Hydrate evenly before sowing
- Confirm nutrition and tray drainage
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What does the expanded coin look like?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Dry centre
Allow the disc to hydrate fully according to its instructions and check the centre before sowing.
Collapsed or damaged sleeve
Check handling and ask the supplier about intended use.
Evenly expanded
Use the crop's sowing depth and nursery programme.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Test a small batch for handling and emergence before large sowings.
Keep in mind
Do not assume every coin includes fertiliser or has the same expansion.
