What is Coir?, Coir describes the fibrous matter of the coconut husk surrounding the hard inner shell of the coconut which contains the coconut flesh and milk. The longer fibrous material has been used for centuries to make ropes favoured by mariners in Asia and the Middle East as well as doormats, brushes and mattresses. What is less known is that amongst those longer fibres are highly absorbent and porous minuscule particles made up of minute tubes which trap and retain liquid. It is this material which previously was a waste product that we call Coco Peat. In contrast to other growing mediums Coco Peat is truly a renewable resource.

I find some of my aroid mixes dry out just a little bit too quickly so by adding a small amount of this it helps to keep it moist a little longer without overdoing it. Highly recommend.
