Also known as \u003cstrong\u003ecoco coir or coco peat\u003c\/strong\u003e, it expands into a light, fibrous medium when water is added, making it suitable for wheatgrass, microgreens, seedlings, propagation and container growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003e2kg and 5kg compressed blocks\u003c\/strong\u003e, coco fibre takes up considerably less storage space before hydration than loose growing media. Break off only what you need for smaller crops or hydrate a complete block when preparing multiple trays or containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Wheatgrass \u0026amp; Microgreens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoco fibre works particularly well in shallow growing trays for \u003cstrong\u003ewheatgrass, sunflower microgreens, pea shoots and many other tray-grown crops\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its fine, fibrous structure helps hold moisture around developing roots while maintaining air spaces within the growing medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/microgreen-wheatgrass-grow-tray\"\u003eMicrogreen \u0026amp; Wheatgrass Grow Tray\u003c\/a\u003e for a practical tray-growing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor wheatgrass growing, see our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/blogs\/learn\/growing-wheatgrass\"\u003eHow to Grow Wheatgrass: Step-by-Step Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuitable for Seed Raising, Pots \u0026amp; Propagation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond microgreens, hydrated coco fibre can be used for \u003cstrong\u003eseed raising, propagation, pots and containers\u003c\/strong\u003e, or incorporated into potting and garden-media blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere additional moisture retention is useful, coco fibre can also be blended with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/vermiculite-growing-medium\"\u003eVermiculite Growing Medium\u003c\/a\u003e to create a lightweight growing mix suited to selected propagation, seed-raising and tray-growing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoco fibre is primarily a growing medium rather than a complete fertiliser. Longer-term crops may therefore require an appropriate fertiliser or nutrient program according to the needs of the plant being grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Block Expands with Water\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2kg compressed block\u003c\/strong\u003e is specified to expand to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e35 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e after hydration with around \u003cstrong\u003e10 litres of water\u003c\/strong\u003e. Use a container with a capacity of at least approximately 40 litres to provide adequate room for expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdd water gradually, allow the fibre to expand, then separate and fluff the hydrated coir before use. The finished medium should be evenly moist without excessive free-standing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e5kg block\u003c\/strong\u003e should also be hydrated in a suitably large container. Because expansion and water requirements can vary, add water progressively until the fibre is fully expanded and evenly hydrated rather than relying on a fixed volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUse Only What You Need\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou do not need to hydrate an entire block for a small crop. Dry coco fibre can be separated into smaller portions, allowing you to prepare only the quantity needed for one or two trays or containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep unused compressed coco fibre dry and protected from moisture until required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"2kg","offer_id":42801926078707,"sku":"COCOFIBRE-2KG","price":14.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":42801926111475,"sku":"COCOFIBRE-5KG","price":26.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/CocoFibre_8db7cb83-2835-486e-8bca-03ac02fc5e8f.webp?v=1759265622","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
