COIR POT (BIO-DEGRADABLE)

Coir pots are made out of coconut coir fiber bounded together by natural latex and molded to a attractive shape. The coir material allows air and water to move through the pot while containing soil, so the plants don't have to be pulled from the pot at planting time. Plants grown in coir in the greenhouse have better root structures than those in plastic pots.

Air pruning of the roots occurs once they grow through the walls of the pot, therefore other smaller roots develop as well. There is no root twirling, no root bound plants, no need to manipulate the root ball before planting to help it grow, and therefore no root shock. Once planted in the ground, air pruned roots grow again, and robust root growth has been seen after just 10 days!

Advantages of Coir Pots.

The Coir Pot is easily Bio-degradable and transforms into Organic Matter in due course. Containers impermeable to roots all cause deformation to the roots. The severity of this depends on the shape of the pot and the development of the plants. The most common problem is coiling of roots, roots gathering in corners, roots growing upwards, crushed roots, etc.
When plants are grown in a Coir Pot, the roots quickly penetrate the pot walls. Contact with the air stops the roots from growing, root buds start to appear and secondary roots start to develop throughout the pot. This phenomenon is known as "aerial root pruning".

The volume of the pot is used 100% by a dense network of root hairs of the plant . In containers with impermeable walls, a few very long roots use all the area around the pot.

When a plant grown in a Coir Pot is planted or re-potted, without removing the pot, the dormant root buds set during aerial containment are immediately activated. There is no shock from transplanting, this difference is particularly marked when ground conditions are difficult (cold, drought, adverse season, etc.).
There is no deformity in the root system, the plant establishes easily and settles into the soil better. This is particularly important for perennials.

Machine Technology : Hydraulic automated compress machinery.

Coir pots are made out of coconut husk fibre and bound together by natural latex as bonding agent to produce pots of various sizes.
