Coir, the natural solution for healthy soil

Coir is a durable material with a long lifespan: the ideal replacement for sphagnum peat. It contains high organic matter content, contributing to the crumb structure of the soil. This creates a healthy soil with active soil life, such as fungi, bacteria and all kinds of soil organisms, which transport essential nutrients to the roots.

Coir will retain fertiliser longer and avoid leaching fertiliser into groundwater layers.

Unique properties of coir

Rich in carbon

All flora and fauna on our planet are composed of carbon structures, of which coir is composed.

An optimal crumb structure

The use of coir creates an optimal crumb structure in the soil, an ideal biotope for soil life, water balance and oxygen regulation

Long lifespan

Coir has a long lifespan due to its complex molecular structure that is difficult to break down.

Moisture regulating capacity

Coir has excellent moisture-regulating properties. It absorbs water quickly, even after long droughts, and then retains it well. If there is too much water, it is repelled by the coir.

Cradle to Cradle

The use of coir follows the Cradle to Cradle principle. The coir husk is not waste, but a valuable resource for fauna and flora, from which various products and derivatives are made.

Tree of Life

The coconut palm is also sometimes called the tree of life. In fact, it is one of the most useful and beautiful trees in the world.
