Coir & preparation
How do I choose a cocopeat propagation cube size?
Match the cube to the plant, nursery duration and final transplant system.

How should coir-grown transplants be hardened before planting?
Move protected plants toward the destination environment gradually. Hardening is acclimation, not deliberately causing severe drought injury.

Why the root zone matters
Small coir plugs can change moisture quickly when wind and sun exposure increase.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Compare nursery and destination light, wind and temperature.
- Inspect plant readiness and root development before moving.
- Monitor plug moisture during each exposure period.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Where are plants going?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Outdoor beds or exposed containers
Use the crop supplier’s gradual acclimation guidance and monitor stress.
A similar protected greenhouse
Check the actual climate difference rather than assuming no transition is needed.
Destination conditions are extreme
Discuss timing and protection before exposing the whole batch.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Trial the transition with representative plants and record their response.
Keep in mind
Do not equate wilting, scorched leaves or chilled plants with successful hardening.
