Coco coir is an organic product derived from processing coconut husks from coconut trees grown in tropical and subtropical areas. The processing of coco husks to obtain coco coir involves a series of steps including aging, washing, rinsing, buffering, drying, grinding, grading, and compressing. These steps are necessary to change the physical and chemical characteristics of coco coir so that it is suitable for plant growing.

Without proper processing, coco coir will have excessive salt content, resulting in problems with Pythium root rot. This can lead to nutritional imbalances, including calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Here at Char Coir we take all the necessary protocols to ensure the cleanest most consistent Coco Coir substrate available.
