Coir, or coconut fibre, is the natural fibre extracted from the husk of the coconut, and is a by-product of the coconut industry.
Traditionally used or rope and mat making, it also has several uses within horticulture, including as an element of potting mix, hanging baskets, as a hydroponic growing medium and as a soil additive.
Coir is readily available in two forms – the loose coir fibre for mulching and hanging baskets, small chips which are ideal as an orchid potting media, or the solid compressed “bricks”. The bricks are soaked in water before use, and are a sustainable alternative to peat moss, which is not a sustainable product.
