St. Catharines, ON, Canada
No Customs. No Delays. Stop waiting for overseas containers. Avee Cocoseller is your local Canadian partner for premium, washed, and buffered coco coir.
Based in St. Catharines, Ontario, we bridge the gap between global sourcing and local availability. Whether you are a commercial greenhouse in Leamington or a home gardener in Vancouver, we supply high-performance media exactly when your planting season demands it.
In the competitive Canadian greenhouse industry, consistency is profitability. You cannot afford substrates that fluctuate in salinity or structure. We specialize in supplying large-scale operations with uniform, pathogen-free growing media designed for precision agriculture and crop steering.
Designed for intense Ontario cycles. Our pre-buffered Grow Bags (Slabs) and Open Top Bags support extensive roots and prevent root rot.
For BC & Maritime berries. We provide coarse-grade Coco Chips that maintain structure for years of perennial growth.
From Licensed Producers to micro-growers. Our 5kg Blocks and Loose Coir Mixes provide a clean, Low-EC vegetative base.
| Parameter | Standard Washed | Premium Buffered | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| EC (Conductivity) | < 0.5 mS/cm | < 0.3 mS/cm | Prevents root burn in young plants. |
| pH Level | 5.8 – 6.8 | 5.8 – 6.5 | Ideal for nutrient absorption. |
| Sodium (Na) | Low | Very Low (< 30ppm) | Displaced by Calcium in buffering. |
| Expansion | 1:5 Volume | 1:5 Volume | High yield per pallet. |

| pH Stability | Neutral (5.8 – 6.8) | Alkaline (High pH) | Acidic (Needs Lime) |
Canadian soil varies. For heavy clay soils often found in the Prairies, our Coco Peat breaks up the earth to improve aeration. Conversely, for sandy soils in Niagara that drain too quickly, coir acts as a sponge, retaining vital moisture.
Start strong indoors. Our Coir Discs and Plugs are 100% biodegradable and sterile. Unlike peat, coir re-wets instantly, ensuring your delicate seedlings never dry out before the last frost.
Our distribution network ensures fast, duty-free shipping from coast to coast.
Rapid truck freight to Leamington, Kingsville & Niagara. "Just-in-Time" inventory.
Supplying Fraser Valley with high-aeration chip blends for wet climates.
Efficient 5kg Blocks for vertical farms in AB, SK, and MB.
Supporting organic truck farmers with OMRI-listed compatible substrates.
Commercial hydroponic success relies on precise root zone chemistry. Raw coir contains high levels of Sodium (Na). If untreated, this causes Nutrient Lockout. At Avee Cocoseller, our Premium Buffered Coir is treated with Calcium Nitrate to displace Sodium, ensuring your plants absorb nutrients immediately.
Traditional peat moss extraction destroys wetlands. Coco coir is the renewable alternative. For eco-conscious brands in Quebec and BC, switching to Avee Coir is a marketable sustainability upgrade. Unlike rockwool, our organic coir substrates can be composted directly into field soil.
Modern agriculture—from Leamington greenhouses to vertical farms—demands efficiency. Our substrates maintain high Air-Filled Porosity (AFP), allowing for frequent irrigation cycles (crop steering) without the risk of waterlogging or root zone hypoxia.
Yes. While we specialize in commercial bulk pallets, we ship smaller quantities and individual 5kg blocks to home gardeners via courier services (FedEx/UPS) across Canada.
Washed Coir is rinsed to lower salinity (EC). Buffered Coir is treated with Calcium to displace sodium. Buffered is strictly recommended for sensitive crops like tomatoes, peppers, and cannabis.
