KoirPot™ is made from coconut fiber and natural latex. These sturdy pots are an environment-friendly alternative to plastic and peat-based containers. It is mainly used in horticultural farms, greenhouses, nurseries, and can be used with flowering plants to give homes and offices an elegant and inviting look. KoirPot™ is 100% biodegradable and transforms into organic matter upon decomposing. Commercial growers can use KoirPot™ to grow plants that can be planted directly into the ground, skipping the labor-intensive transplanting step, which often leads to transplant shock. KoirPot™ holds in more water and retains it longer, resulting in less watering needs. The walls of the KoirPot™ are porous enough for the roots to penetrate. When the roots penetrate the pot walls, contact with the air stops further growth of the roots. Root buds then start to appear, and secondary root systems develop throughout the pot, creating a dense network of root hairs. This phenomenon is known as “aerial root pruning” which can significantly increase the survivability of the plant. When KoirPot™ is planted in the ground, it will biodegrade in 3 to 6 months, depending on the soil conditions. There is no need to remove the plant from the pot. KoirPots™ are available in a wide range of sizes, which can be customized to specific requirements.
