Coir & preparation · WITH COBY
Check container stability and crop support before adding weight to the medium. A growing canopy changes the forces acting on the system.

CobyYour coir & preparation guideTHE COCOPEAT CONNECTION
Cocopeat is relatively lightweight, and a tall or heavily loaded crop may require support independent of the root container.
01 / OBSERVE
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Review independent crop support and anchoring with the system provider.
Correct the stable supporting surface before changing the substrate.
Evaluate a suitable footprint in the next trial and secure current plants appropriately.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Treat stability as a container-and-support design issue and inspect it as the crop develops.
Do not mix heavy soil into an established coir root zone simply to act as ballast.
Discuss this with Teral →CONNECTED QUESTIONS
Compare the complete container geometry, not just its volume. Two containers holding the same litres can present roots with different moisture conditions.
