Coco Peat Grow Bags

Coir pots are made out of coconut coir fiber bounded together by natural latex and molded to a attractive shape. The coir material allows air and water to move through the pot while containing soil, so the plants don’t have to pulled from the pot at planting time. Plants grown in coir in the greenhouse have better root structures than those in plastic pots.Air pruning of the roots occurs once they grow through the walls of the pot, therefore other smaller roots develop as well. There is no root twirling, no root bound plants, no need to manipulate the root ball before planting to help it grow and therefore no root shock. Once planted in the ground, air pruned roots grow again and robust root growth can be seen after just 10 days. They are very popular among nurseries due to the convenience of replanting without removing the pot. Loss of root disturbance result continuous growth over the newly established field.

Coir pots are used in horticultural farms, flower gardens, greenhouses, and nurseries. Coir pots can be used with natural flower plants to give homes and offices an elegant look. Commercial growers can use the pots to grow plants that can be planted directly into the ground, skipping the transplanting step, which often leads to transplant shock.When a plant grown in a coir pot is planted or re-potted, without removing the pot, the dormant root buds set during aerial containment are immediately active. The volume of the pot is used 100% by a dense network of root hairs of the plant. In containers with impermeable walls, a few very long roots use all the area around the pot.

FEATURES

• Biodegradable. The coir pot is easily bio-degradable and transforms into organic matter in due course. Being bio-degradable it decomposes over time to form humus and further helps in the plant’s growth.
• Air pruning. When plants are grown in a coir pot, the roots quickly penetrate the pot walls. Contact with the air stops the roots from growing, root buds start to appear and secondary roots start to develop throughout the pot.
• Avoids transplantation shock. There in no shock from transplanting, this difference is particularly marked when ground conditions are difficult (cold, drought, adverse season etc…) There is no deformity in the root system, the plant establishes easily and settles into the soil better. This is particularly important for perennials.
• Water Retention. Coir pots retain water for long time by decreasing evaporation of water from pot. Holds moisture, keeping the potting mix moist.
