VIV COCCO
with added coconut fibre
This category of plant nursery substrates contains added coconut fibre. The use of coconut fibre is recommend when using the substrate for cultivations managed using subsurface irrigation systems (mat) and with longer cultivation cycles. In addition to maintaining an unaltered structure, the coconut helps better distribute the moisture within the pot.
These products can be produced according to the customer’s technical specifications upon request.
