Coir & preparation
Prepare cocopeat for planting
Start with the label and batch instructions. Preparation depends on the product’s treatment and your crop, rather than one universal soaking recipe.

Why the root zone matters
Clean coir can become contaminated during handling and storage.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check that the storage area is sheltered and clean
- Keep bags off dirty floors and away from runoff
- Retain labels and close opened packaging
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What has happened to the bag?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Clean and dry storage
Reseal and follow the supplier's storage guidance.
Exposed to dirty water
Set it aside and discuss suitability before nursery use.
Batch identity lost
Restore records before mixing it with another batch.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Use a dated stock rotation record and dedicated clean scoops.
Keep in mind
An unopened manufacturing claim does not guarantee cleanliness after poor storage.
