Coco Coir

Coco coir is one of the most widely used sustainable growing media in modern horticulture, offering growers a soil/peat-free alternative that still delivers excellent plant performance. Made from the fibrous husk of coconuts, coco coir is free-draining, easy to manage, and well-suited to hydroponic and hand-fed systems where control over feeding is important. Its consistent structure and forgiving nature make it suitable for both new and experienced growers.

Popular formats include pre-buffered coco mixes, which help stabilise pH levels and improve nutrient uptake, as well as coco/perlite blends designed to increase aeration, water retention, and root development. These substrates are valued for their uniform quality, clean handling, and ability to support vigorous, healthy root systems across a wide range of crops.

At Greens Horticulture, we recommend coco coir for growers who want a reliable, sustainable substrate, supported by consistent availability, quality options, and next-day UK delivery when it’s time to refresh your setup.
