Benefits

Excellent Water holding capacity

Helps maintain consistent soil moisture levels, ensuring plants have access to water even during summer dry season. It also reduces the risk of overwatering and root rot

Enhanced Aeration

Coco coir has a fibrous structure that provides excellent air circulation within the growing medium. Mixed with perlite, this promotes oxygen availability to plant roots, supporting healthy root development and preventing root suffocation. Adequate aeration is essential for nutrient uptake and overall plant growth
