Benefits of Coconut Soil

Some refuse to use coco soil for growing seedlings. The reason: there are too many large particles and fibers in the substrate. Let's understand all the nuances and find out the positive aspects of this unique natural product.

Choosing a faction

For personal subsidiary farms, a series of substrates in briquettes is produced. They are lightweight - a huge plus in terms of ease of transportation. But when swelling, the briquette increases six times! We add it to the main soil mixture and we get many times more loose moisture-absorbing soil for sowing seeds for seedlings. Just keep in mind: in this case, you need to choose fine coco-soil. In its pure form, it is ideal for rooting cuttings..

If you want to preserve the rhizomes, bulbs and cuttings, buy a mixture of medium fraction with an admixture of chopped fibers and chips. It is a fairly moisture-absorbing and at the same time breathable substrate. The coarse fraction with the addition of coconut chips is excellent for storing tubers and mulching the root zone of plants (including for winter insulation).
