Coconut Coir: Like other coir products, a coir disk is made from coconut husk fibers, specifically the coir pith (also known as cocopeat) and sometimes the coir fiber itself. This material is processed, compressed, and shaped into disks for ease of use.

Moisture Content: Coir disks are usually dry and compressed but will expand significantly when hydrated with water.

Weight and Dimensions: Coir disks are typically small and lightweight before being hydrated. The exact size varies, but most coir disks weigh around 30g-100g before expansion, depending on their diameter and thickness.

Expansion: When hydrated, the coir disk expands and fluffs up to many times its original size, typically expanding into a few liters of loose coir material, depending on the size of the disk. The expanded disk can be used as a planting medium or mixed with other soil components.

pH Range: Coir disks usually have a neutral to slightly acidic pH, typically ranging from 5.5 to 6.5, making them suitable for most plants.

pH Consideration: This pH range helps maintain healthy root development without introducing any harmful alkalinity or acidity to the growing medium.

Uses :
=> Seed Starting: Coir disks are commonly used for seed germination as they provide a clean, sterile, and well-draining medium for seedlings to develop strong roots.

=> Hydroponics & Aquaponics: Coir disks can be used in hydroponic systems as a growing medium, particularly for seedlings and herbs.

=> Soil Amendment: They can be broken up and added to garden soil to improve aeration, drainage, and moisture retention.

=> Planting in Containers: Coir disks are a good option for container gardening, particularly when growing plants that prefer a well-draining and moisture-retentive medium.
