No hydration wait. Bulk loose coco coir pith, 5–25kg bags.
Sourced from 100% natural coconut husks, triple-washed and calcium-buffered at our own Tamil Nadu facility, then bagged ready to use. It ships directly from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse to growers across Canada, the USA, and Mexico — no mixing equipment, no wait time.

Loose pith trades the compactness of a block for instant usability — open the bag and you're already planting.
Unlike compressed blocks that need 20–30 minutes to expand, our loose coir is pre-expanded and ready straight from the bag. No mixing equipment, no wait time, no guesswork — just fill and plant.
Every bag is triple-washed and buffered at source, then lab-tested before shipping. Low EC means you start your nutrient program on a clean slate — no salt flush needed. Lab documentation is available on request.
Coco coir pith has a naturally high cation exchange capacity — it holds potassium, calcium, and magnesium near the roots and releases them gradually, reducing nutrient runoff.
~80% air porosity keeps roots well oxygenated, while ~30% water retention maintains consistent moisture between irrigations — the most balanced ratio of any single-ingredient growing medium.
Use standalone or blend with perlite, vermiculite, husk chips, or compost. The fine pith texture integrates evenly, making the popular 70/30 coir-to-perlite hydroponic blend easy to achieve.

Loose coir is the most versatile format — use it standalone, blend with other substrates, or mix into soil. No hydration step is needed at any stage.
Open the bag and fluff the coir before use. Pre-expanded pith can settle slightly during shipping — a quick stir restores the full texture.
Use standalone or blend with amendments. 70% coir + 30% perlite works well for hydroponics; 60% coir + 20% compost + 20% perlite suits soil-based growing.
Fill pots, grow bags, trays, or raised beds directly, then plant seeds, seedlings, or cuttings. No settling period is needed.
Water thoroughly on first use — coco coir re-wets easily with no dry spots. Monitor runoff EC on first irrigation and adjust your nutrient program accordingly.

The most popular format for potting mix manufacturers and nurseries blending their own substrate. Consistent EC and pH batch to batch ensures reliable mix performance season after season.
Blend 70% loose coir with 30% perlite for a balanced hydroponic medium. Low EC, high CEC, and excellent re-wettability make it the preferred coco format for drip and recirculating systems.
Fill propagation trays, cell packs, and nursery pots directly from the bag with no hydration wait — a significant time saving at commercial scale.
Mix into raised beds to improve drainage, aeration, and water retention. 100% peat-free and OMRI-compatible — suited to certified organic vegetable and herb production.
Use as the base medium for custom coco/perlite blends. The loose format allows precise chip-to-pith ratios, and 25kg bags are available for commercial-volume blending.
Triple-washed, heat-treated, pathogen-free coir pith is a popular casing layer and bulk substrate component for gourmet mushroom production.

Avee Cocoseller's bulk loose coco coir pith is sourced from 100% natural coconut husks at our own Tamil Nadu facility — triple-washed, calcium-buffered, and bagged in 5kg, 10kg, and 25kg formats. It ships directly from our Cambridge, Ontario warehouse to growers across Canada and the USA, with Mexico distribution expanding. It's pre-expanded and ready to use immediately — no hydration time and no mess.
Canada's peat resources face increasing regulatory scrutiny, and commercial nurseries and potting mix manufacturers are proactively transitioning to coco coir as their primary organic component. Loose coir pith matches peat's performance in every measurable category, and outperforms it in pH stability, re-wettability, and renewable sourcing credentials. For background on Canada's approach to peatland and wetland resource policy, see the Federal Policy on Wetland Conservation.
5kg bags suit home growers and small nurseries. 25kg bags are sized for commercial blending operations. Pallet and bulk tote supply is also available for large-scale substrate manufacturers. Contact us for bulk pricing.
