Seed starter pellets — expand 7–10× in under 10 minutes.
Compressed from triple-washed fine coir pith at our own Tamil Nadu facility. The entire pellet transplants directly into your final medium — no root disturbance, no recovery time. Ships from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse across Canada, the USA, and Mexico.

No mixing, no measuring, no transplant stress — just add water and plant.
Add water and the compressed pellet opens into a full, airy growing medium in 5–10 minutes. No mixing, no measuring — each pellet is a self-contained starter unit ready to plant the moment it expands.
The entire pellet transplants directly into your final growing medium — soil, a coco bag, or a hydroponic system. No root disturbance, no recovery time; seedlings keep growing without interruption.
Freshly germinated seeds and young cuttings are extremely sensitive to salt stress. Our pellets are triple-washed to a consistently low EC — the safest starting point for any seed variety or genetic.
Coco coir's natural lignin content inhibits fungal growth more effectively than peat. Balanced moisture retention prevents the stagnant conditions that cause damping-off and stem rot in seedlings.
Standard netted pellets hold their shape through germination and transplant. Naked pellets suit direct integration into hydroponic systems. Both formats available — specify at order.

From dry pellet to rooted seedling ready for transplant — clean, fast, and mess-free at any scale.
Arrange pellets in a standard propagation tray or flat container, spaced evenly for good airflow.
Pour pH-balanced water at 5.8–6.2 evenly over the pellets — they expand fully in 5–10 minutes with no stirring.
Press one seed per pellet into the central dimple. For cuttings, push the stem 2–3cm in and firm gently.
Keep moist but not waterlogged — the coir's balanced retention makes overwatering difficult. A dome at 22–26°C speeds germination.
Once roots appear at the pellet edge, transplant the entire pellet into your final medium — no removal, no disturbance.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, and brassicas all start well in our pellets. Standard 42mm pellets fit most commercial plug trays for high-volume seedling production.
Basil, mint, lettuce, kale, celery, and microgreens all benefit from a clean, low-EC start. The 30mm pellets suit high-density trays, preventing salt stress on fast-growing leafy crops.
Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry propagation from seed or runners works well in these pellets, keeping berries consistently hydrated through the critical early rooting phase.
Bulk wholesale pellets for year-round seedling production, with consistent diameter for automated transplanting equipment and custom quantities for any operation.
Suitable for seed germination and cutting propagation for cannabis and ornamental crops. Ultra-low EC protects sensitive new genetics, and the pellets are fully biodegradable.
The cleanest, simplest way to start seeds indoors — no soil mess, no measuring, no pots needed until transplant. Available in packs from 100 pellets.

Avee Cocoseller's coco coir seed starter pellets are manufactured at our own Tamil Nadu facility and shipped directly from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse, with Mexico distribution expanding. Every pellet is triple-washed fine coir pith, compressed for shipping efficiency and expanding 7–10× on hydration — no middlemen, no aged stock, just direct factory-to-grower supply.
Canada's peat bogs are a protected resource, and federal and provincial regulations are tightening around peat extraction. Commercial nurseries and greenhouse operations are proactively switching to coco-based starters to future-proof their supply chains. Coco pellets match peat's performance in every measurable way, and outperform it in pH stability, mold resistance, and re-wettability. For more on sustainable growing media, see the RHS guidance on peat-free growing.
