pH Neutral: Coco coir has a neutral pH, which can be beneficial for a wide range of plants as it provides a stable growing medium.

Benefits:

Enhanced Mycelial Growth: Coco coir’s optimal moisture and aeration properties create an ideal environment for mycelial colonisation, leading to faster substrate colonisation and higher yields.
Consistent Moisture Levels: The superior moisture retention capacity of coco coir ensures a stable humidity level within the substrate, crucial for promoting healthy mushroom fruiting.
Longevity: Coco coir decomposes slowly, providing a stable growing medium for extended periods without breaking down too quickly.
Versatility: It can be used alone or blended with other substrates to create custom potting mixes suitable for various plants and growth stages.
