Grow Bags

Our coco peat grow bags are used as plant substrates for soil less cultivation, largely used in greenhouses for growing vegetables: tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, strawberries, cut flower production. We are able to meet customer’s specific needs in dimensions, expanded volume, as well as physical structure of the product to ensure required water and air holding capacities, part distribution etc.

Raw materials for Grow Bags require special selection and processing methods. First, fresh coir pith is allowed to mature 2-3 years; this natural process of exposure to constant monsoon rains reduces salt, phenol and tannin. Matured coir pith is then processed to remove fine particles and long fibers. Next, it is washed to reduce salinity to optimal levels and sun-dried on concrete. This coir pith is compressed into slabs of various dimensions and sealed in UV stabilized poly bags. Finally, the bags are tested for expansion, EC and pH, and then shipped.

Grow Bags are rapidly becoming a popular choice for hydroponic cultivation of hot house tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and peppers. Plants root faster and develop stronger root systems resulting in superior vigor and yield. The quick growth of a strong root system also helps prevent Pithiuminfection. If infection occurs, the success rate of recovery is significantly better than Rockwool.
