Germination – Once the seeds have germinated and the cotyledons have opened, it’s best to remove the plastic cover. Continue to water once daily to keep the pellets evenly moist. Jiffy pellets are extensively tested both internally and externally, in laboratories and research stations around the world. They are the best fit for most types of small plant. Peat pellets Another added bonus to the coir pellets is that they allow for proper air circulation, even if there is too much water. Proper aeration is incredibly important for plants, since it allows for optimal growing conditions. It helps to prevent root rot and compacted soil, and the roots have an easier time in the uptake of water. My first experience of using coco coir was with a cheap brand and led to iron and calcium deficiencies in our long trailing petunia plants and also a high pH number which I discovered after testing the soil.

Can be less complex than “traditional hydroponics”: If growing hydroponically is new, coconut coir is a good first step. You can practice the basics of hydroponic gardening without having to buy or build a hydroponic system and perform all of its required maintenance.

Please Note Everything in between the shell and the outer coating of the coconut seed is considered coco coir. There are two types of fibers that make up coir — brown and white. Brown coir comes from mature, ripe coconuts and is a lot stronger but less flexible. White fibers come from pre-ripe coconuts and are far more flexible but much less strong.Expand the pellets – When using coir pellets for germination of seedlings, the dry flat disc must be soaked in water. Place the pellets in a waterproof tray. Make sure the small, imprinted hole is facing up. Pour warm water over the discs and wait for them to expand.

After correcting the coir with some additives, the plants went from strength to strength and have significantly outgrown the petunias I grew in regular compost. So what does the process of using starter coir pellets entail? The first step is to simply add the pellets into a tray, followed by water. It is recommended to use warm water, as this speeds up the absorption process. Then, add your seeds into the holes and cover lightly with the coir. The final step is to place the pellets in a sunny area where the seedlings can get enough light. This range of Jiffy pellets are manufactured from peat, carefully harvested from bogs.
