THE COCOPEAT CONNECTION

Why the root zone matters

Settling coir and uneven hydration can change the final planting level.

01 / OBSERVE

Three checks before you change anything

  1. Check the planting material supplier's guidance
  2. Inspect crown position after watering
  3. Ensure roots contact the medium without severe bending

02 / NARROW IT DOWN

What do you see after watering?

Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.

Crown buried

Correct planting depth according to crop guidance.

Roots exposed

Review settling and fill level without burying the crown.

Plant loosely supported

Improve root contact and check the planting hole.

03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP

Leave with something useful

Inspect a sample of plants again after the first irrigations.

Keep in mind

Do not use deep planting as a universal cure for loose plants.
