No, the netting is designed to hold the pellet together during germination and is biodegradable, so it can be planted directly into the soil.
While possible, coir holds moisture very well. Ensure you provide plenty of ventilation and allow the pellet to dry out slightly between waterings.
When kept in a cool, dry, and dark place, the dry, compressed pellets can be stored for several years without losing their effectiveness.
Yes, they are made from natural coconut coir without synthetic fertilizers or plastics.
Bottom-watering is highly recommended; place the pellets in a tray with a small amount of water and let them absorb it from the base.
Use a humidity dome over your seed tray to trap moisture or increase the frequency of misting.
Check that the ambient temperature is suitable for the specific seed variety and ensure the pellet is warm enough.
Increase air circulation around the seedlings and reduce the frequency of watering to allow the surface to dry slightly.
To begin, arrange the dry pellets in a waterproof nursery tray with sufficient spacing. Add water slowly until the discs have fully expanded. Once the medium is moist, plant your seeds at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Keep the tray in a warm, well-lit area. Ensure the pellets remain moist but not waterlogged by misting them daily or using a tray that allows for bottom-watering. Since coir lacks long-term nutrients, once the seedling develops its second set of true leaves, begin applying a mild, liquid organic fertilizer to support continued health. When transferring outdoors, ensure the entire pellet is buried beneath the soil line to prevent the top of the coir from drying out and wicking moisture away from the roots.
