@j_marie_lifestyle: 🥥Coco coir, derived from the fibrous husks of coconut shells, is a popular and sustainable growing medium for gardeners and indoor plant lovers alike! How to Use Coco Coir🥥 ✨Hydration - Coco coir usually comes in compressed blocks. To use it, you first need to hydrate it. Place the block in a large container and add warm water. Wait for the coir to absorb the water and expand. Break it apart as it softens to speed up the process. ✨Mixing - Once fully expanded, mix the coco coir with soil or other growing mediums. A common mix ratio is 50/50 coco coir to soil, but this can vary depending on your plant’s needs. For more drainage, add perlite or vermiculite. ✨pH Adjustment - Check the pH of the coco coir; it should be neutral (pH 5.8-6.8). If it’s not within this range, adjust it using lime to increase pH or sulfur to decrease pH. This step is crucial because coco coir’s pH can influence nutrient availability to plants. ✨Planting - Use the coco coir mix as you would regular soil. It’s suitable for planting directly in pots, garden beds, or as a seed starting medium. ✨Watering - Coco coir retains moisture well, so be careful not to overwater. Water the plants as needed, ensuring the medium remains moist but not waterlogged. ✨Fertilizing - Since coco coir is nutrient-neutral, you’ll need to add a balanced fertilizer. Choose a fertilizer suited for coco coir, as it requires different nutrient ratios, especially higher calcium and magnesium.
