Coir Fibre Block

The Coir Fibre Block is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to traditional peat moss. Made from the fibrous husk of coconuts, it expands into a soft, airy growing medium when hydrated, providing excellent water retention and aeration for your plants.

Coir fibre is manufactured from Cocos plumosa, ensuring the finest quality and making it an ideal growing medium for plants. With its high water holding capacity, it can hold up to 10 times its weight in water, helping to increase soil moisture retention and acting as an excellent potting medium.

In Cape Town’s climate, it’s especially useful for seedlings, potting mixes, hydroponics, and water-wise gardening. Lightweight, sustainable, and easy to use, this block is perfect for gardeners who want to combine eco-conscious choices with healthy plant growth. Simply add water, watch it expand, and enjoy a versatile medium that supports strong roots and vibrant plants.
