FAQ
Which is better jute or coir?
Even after processing and softening in water, coir still produces a strong, tough fiber that offers durability, but is typically rough and scratchy to the touch. Jute, in contrast, is the softest of the natural fibers and is very silky in texture.
Is coir soft or hard?
Due to the presence of high quantity of lignin, coir fibre is very hard. Because of the relatively lower Length/Breadth ratio*, spinning of coir fibres is rather difficult. Hence, softening of coir fibres is necessary to enhance their spinnability.
Can coco coir rot?
Coco coir bricks can come highly compacted, which means they can retain water for longer than your plants need. This can lead to overwatering and root rot, causing your plants to die.
What are the disadvantages of coir mats?
Coir matting also wears and crushes very quickly, which will make the mat ineffective at removing dirt and water. Therefore, although initially coir has good scraping and wiping properties, you will find yourself replacing it very regularly to keep it performing as an effective entrance mat
What is pith in coir?
Coir Pith is also known as coco pith, or cocopeat, for its role as a substitute for peat moss in gardening. Brown coir pith comes from ripe, mature coconuts, while younger, immature coconuts produce white coir pith. To produce coir pith, the waste from coir fiber is washed, treated, dried, and graded.
