Coconut husk is used to make Coco Peat, a multi-purpose growth medium. Freshwater is also used to wash the raw materials. A majority of coir on the market has a high salt content, which is bad for plants.
The fibrous material between the outer husk and the real coconut is used to make coco peat, which is generated from the coconut hull.
Coir was originally utilized in ancient Sri Lanka to make cordage and ropes. It's also been used to make mats and other types of flooring.
It was first used commercially in Holland in the 1980s to grow roses and lilies. Growers began utilizing coir and peat for hydroponic farming because they promoted root growth so well.
How to use coco coir/peat in hydroponics systems?
To use coir in a hydroponic system, you'll need to make a few adjustments to your usual procedures.
Because coir is naturally high in salts, make careful to rinse it well. While good-quality coir should already be rinsed, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Rinse until the runoff water is clean. After rinsing, you'll see that the coir tends to clump together. Before planting, simply break it apart using your hands to make it lose.
Finally, you may need to utilize a nutrient mix specifically designed for coir cultivation. As previously stated, this is due to coir's capacity to store and release specific nutrients. Even if you have the correct nutritional balance in the reservoir, if you don't consider how coir provides those nutrients to your plants, you may still see indicators of deficiency.
