Product Information

Full details

Designed for both professional plant propagators and dedicated home gardeners, these compressed coir pellets offer a sustainable, peat-free solution for starting seeds and cuttings. By simply adding water, these compact discs expand into nutrient-rich, well-aerated rooting plugs that promote stronger root development and fast drainage. While they are highly effective for most plant types, users must ensure consistent moisture levels during the initial germination phase to prevent the pellets from drying out too quickly.

FAQs

Are these pellets biodegradable?

Yes, both the coco-substrate and the netting enclosure are designed to be environmentally friendly and are safe to plant directly into the ground.

Can I reuse these pellets?

These are designed for single-use propagation to prevent the spread of soil-borne diseases between plants.

Do I need to add fertilizer to the pellets?

The coir substrate is an excellent medium, but as the seedling grows, you may want to introduce a weak liquid fertilizer once true leaves appear.

How many pellets come in this pack?

This specific package contains 50 individual 50mm coir pellets.

What is the benefit of the netting?

The netting holds the pellet in its ideal shape while allowing roots to grow through into the surrounding soil during transplanting.

Can I use these for cuttings as well as seeds?

Absolutely, these pellets are highly effective for both seeds and stem cuttings due to their excellent aeration and drainage.

Troubleshooting

Pellets are not expanding properly

Ensure you are using sufficient warm water. If the water is cold, the coir may take longer to absorb the liquid.

Mold growth on the surface of the pellet

Increase airflow by removing the humidity dome for a few hours daily and ensure the tray is not sitting in stagnant, excess water.

Pellets drying out too quickly

Keep a small reservoir of water in the bottom of your propagation tray so the pellets can wick up moisture as needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Environmentally friendly and peat-free
Easy to store due to compact compressed size
Excellent drainage properties
Promotes healthy and rapid root development
Biodegradable netting eliminates the need for repotting stress

Cons

Smaller surface area compared to traditional seed trays
Must be kept in a tray to maintain stability after expansion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your pellets, arrange them in a propagation tray and add enough water to allow them to soak up moisture and reach their full dimensions. Avoid waterlogging; the pellets should be moist to the touch but not swimming in water. These pellets are highly compatible with most standard seed trays and humidity domes. For ongoing care, monitor the color of the coir—when it turns a lighter shade of brown, it is time to add a small amount of water to the base of the tray. Keep the propagation area in a warm, well-lit location, but away from direct, harsh sunlight until seeds have germinated.
