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.

Should I use cocopeat or coco chips?
Start with root-zone behaviour, not the appearance of the material.

Why the root zone matters
Fine coir pith and larger husk chips create different pore arrangements when combined.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Identify the particle grade supplied
- Match the mix to container volume and crop duration
- Trial drainage and moisture distribution
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What matters most in your setup?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Small propagation cells
Discuss a screened grade that fills cells evenly.
Large long-cycle containers
Evaluate structure and irrigation performance over the intended crop cycle.
Existing irrigation schedule
Test the new grade before changing the whole crop.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Request representative samples and compare them in your actual containers.
Keep in mind
Chip percentage alone does not establish air-filled porosity.
