Unlike compressed blocks that need 20–30 minutes to expand, our loose coir is pre-expanded and ready to fill pots, trays, and grow bags immediately. No mixing equipment, no wait time, no guesswork.
Triple-washed and buffered at source. Every bag lab-tested. Low EC means you start your nutrient program on a clean slate — no salt flush needed before first use. Lab documentation available on request.
Coco coir pith has a naturally high CEC — it holds essential nutrients like potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the root zone and releases them gradually as plants need them. Less nutrient runoff, better efficiency.
~80% air porosity keeps roots oxygenated. ~30% water retention maintains consistent moisture between irrigations. The most balanced air-to-water ratio of any single-ingredient growing medium.
Use standalone or blend with perlite, vermiculite, husk chips, or compost. Fine pith texture integrates evenly into any mix. Popular 70/30 coir/perlite blend for hydroponic systems — easy to achieve with loose format.
No customs delays. Cambridge warehouse ships to every Canadian province and US state within 2–3 business days. Pallet and bulk tote orders always available for commercial operations.

Loose coir is the most versatile format — use standalone, blend with other substrates, or mix into soil. No hydration step needed.
Open the bag and fluff the coir before use. Pre-expanded pith can settle slightly during shipping — a quick stir restores full texture and removes any compressed pockets.
Use standalone or blend with your preferred amendments. Common blends: 70% coir + 30% perlite for hydroponics, or 60% coir + 20% compost + 20% perlite for soil-based growing.
Fill pots, grow bags, trays, or raised beds directly. Plant seeds, seedlings, or cuttings. The fine pith texture supports roots immediately — no settling period needed.
Water thoroughly on first use. Coco coir re-wets easily — no dry spots. Monitor EC of runoff on first irrigation and adjust your nutrient program accordingly.
