Why Prococo?
Coconut coir (pronounced ‘koy-er’) is a sustainable alternative to peat moss, and has several advantages over peat moss. It holds water without compressing and absorbs water evenly, providing excellent root zone aeration, and saves on water. Coconut husk products also have a more neutral-to-acidic pH (5.5-6.2), and can remain effective for up to 4-5 years. Coconut husk is an excellent way to increase the aeration and water-absorbing power of potting soil and clay or heavy soils, without peat moss.
Our OMRI-listed coconut husk products are widely used for hydroponics, organic soil mixes, tropical pet substrate, landscaping and container planting. Coco-coir and coco-chips can be mixed in different ratios (and amended with pumice, vermiculite, fertilizers, etc.) to provide the perfect medium for your plants.
Coconut husk products are also ideal for landscaping projects. The coir can be used as top soil or can be mixed with sand (60% coco coir, 30% sand, 10% compost) to use as a direct medium on open land, to grow grass, flowers, bushes, etc. Due to the water holding capacity of coconut husk, you can reduce irrigation drastically and grow healthier landscapes.
