Product Information
Full details
The Coir Products 28cm Coir Pots are an ideal solution for gardeners and nursery professionals seeking a sustainable, root-friendly alternative to plastic containers. These pots promote vigorous plant health by facilitating air pruning and allowing direct soil planting, which eliminates transplant shock. While these pots offer superior drainage and breathability, they are intended for single-use applications as they naturally break down once buried in the ground.

FAQs
Can I reuse these pots?
These pots are designed to be biodegradable and are meant for single use. They will begin to decompose once planted in the soil.
Do I need to remove the plant from the pot before planting?
No, you should plant the entire pot directly into the ground to avoid disturbing the roots and causing transplant shock.
Are these safe for organic gardening?
Yes, they are made from natural coir fibre and natural rubber latex, making them perfectly suited for organic growing practices.
How do these pots help root health?
The porous material allows for air pruning, which prevents roots from circling and encourages a more robust, fibrous root system.
Can I use these pots indoors?
Yes, but you must use a waterproof saucer underneath to protect your floors or furniture from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Pot is losing shape before transplanting
Ensure the pot is not over-saturated and is placed on a flat, supportive surface. If the soil mix is very heavy, add perlite or vermiculite to improve aeration.
Soil drying out too quickly
Increase the frequency of irrigation or use a tray underneath to provide a small reservoir of water, as coir is highly breathable.
Pot edge is visible above soil level after planting
Always ensure the rim of the pot is completely covered by surrounding soil to prevent it from drying out and wicking moisture away from the plant roots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Coir Pots, fill them with high-quality potting mix and press down gently to ensure even distribution. When watering, ensure the soil is thoroughly moistened, but avoid leaving the pots sitting in standing water for extended periods to maintain their structural integrity before transplanting. These pots are compatible with all standard potting soils and organic composts. If you are using these in an indoor environment, always place them on a saucer or moisture-proof barrier to protect your surfaces from dampness.
