The future of horticulture farming is sustainability. Sustainable growing is vital for saving our planet for future generations and for helping your plants thrive in an environmentally-friendly space. Enhance your production process, get better yields overall, and reduce your workload with superior substrates for farming. 

What are HydroCoir Substrates

Coir, made by grinding the husk of a coconut, is an organic and environmentally-friendly product used for horticultural practices.

A sustainable choice for soilless cultivation, Coir, also known as cocopeat, can retain significant amounts of water, have the right levels of air porosity, and deliver good nutrients to the crops. Additionally, enhanced water retention capabilities allow plants to remain hydrated during high temperatures and harsh climate conditions. Unlike other crop-yielding products such as rockwool or peat moss, coir is completely harmless to the environment.

Importance of Using HydroCoir Coco Substrates for Horticulture

If you’re looking for affordable, high-quality, renewable substrates for your growing needs, we’ve got you covered.

HydroCoir specializes in the production of coco substrates for professional soft fruit and vegetable growers, potting soil suppliers, home gardeners and more. At Can Neth, all our coco substrates are carefully hand-picked by our experienced team of farming professionals. Sourced from local farmers within the coconut triangle in Sri Lanka, these substrates ensure 100% traceability and guaranteed high-end quality. 

The raw material is carefully processed and dried under natural sunlight prior to mixing, under strict guidelines to provide the grower with their desired substrate, depending on individual growing requirements and growing systems.

Our HydroCoir Coco products are designed specifically to increase water and nutrient retention, minimize the risk of diseases, and create an environment that is conducive to better plant propagation. 

Benefits of Using HydroCoir Coco Substrates

There are many benefits to using HydroCoir Coco substrates for your farming needs. They are as follows: 

Enhanced Crop Growth

Our HydroCoir Coco products are not only superior to peat moss and other growing mediums, but also have a higher shelf life for plants. This improves plant health and growth, thereby improving profitability. 

Limited Risk of Infections and Diseases 

HydroCoir Coco products have balanced pH and EC levels to help the plants thrive under optimal conditions. Improve productivity and eliminate the threat of infections and diseases to your crops with our Hydrocoir Coco products.

Higher Water and Nutrients Retention

Coir has the ability to hold in significant amounts of water and has many air pockets, which helps the crops to root abundantly. This leads to better absorption of nutrients and moisture to the crops. Crops remain hydrated and healthy throughout the growing process.

Biodegradable and 100% Organic 

If you’re looking for a more affordable, biodegradable soil substitute for your crops, HydroCoir Coco products are the answer to your growing needs. Unlike other crop-yielding products, HydroCoir substrates are environmentally-friendly, 100% organic, and biodegradable, leading to a sustainable growth process.
