Botanicoir Ltd products

Our strawberry grow bags, which contain our specifically developed and buffered Precision Plus grade, are made with the plant, and the grower, in mind. We wash and buffer our coir to a very high standard, so that when the young strawberry plants are planted in the grow bag, they are in the best environment to promote growth. The Precision Plus Ultra mix that we use for our strawberry grow bags has been developed with 3 specifically chose particle sizes to give an open structure and more aeration. This structure means that the opportunity for re-use is maximised, and it enables growers to steer the crop by controlling the moisture level in the bag. It is also very quick to hydrate.

If growers prefer growing in troughs rather than grow bags, we can provide naked slabs of coir to simply place in the trough and rehydrate. We use the same Precision Plus strawberry mix and strict quality controls as with the grow bags, but simply do not put the coir in a bag. This gives a more flexible method of growing, meaning that numbers of plants per meter can be changed year on year, and the troughs can be moved around without disturbing the rooting of the plant. The Precision Plus mix that we use for our naked strawberry slab has a graded particle size and optimum buffering level, which are ideal for strawberry plants, promoting healthy roots, uniform plants growth and optimised water retention and drainage.

For soft fruit growers who have existing systems in place with regards to container growing, or for those looking to move to the rigid plastic containers, we offer a range of coir disks and blocks to fit these pots.

Our Open Top Containers (OTCs) are popular with soft fruit growers as a cost effective and flexible way to grow as they can be simply laid out and hydrated, avoiding having to deal with bulk coir and helping to keep labour costs down.

As the name suggests, Botanicoir Aqua offers a higher water content in the slab for crops that thrive in a wetter environment. Designed to encourage healthy roots and uniform plant growth, Botanicoir Aqua also provides effective water and nutrient holding capacity. We blend together a specific mix of coir particles to make a slab that can offer the ideal environment for crops needing more water, or for those growing in especially warm climates.

Botanicoir Mist is a specifically blended mix of husk chips and other coir particles that promote free drainage. We have worked for many years with some of the worlds leading growers to develop and improve this mix which is ideal for crops that need a balance between a water holding environment and free drainage.

Botanicoir Breeze is very popular amongst growers as it offers a relatively dry growing environment with a flexible water holding capacity to enable maximum crop steering in a range of climates. 

Botanicoir Dry has been designed to encourage generative growing in crops that need a drier substrate to promote healthy growth. This slab has a very high air-fill porosity and gives the grower the ability to steer the crops as they see fit.

Botanicoir Grow Cubes have been specifically designed, after many years of research and development, for the propogation of seedlings, cuttings and young plants. The growing media is natural, completely biodegradable and surrounded by a flexible netting so that the young roots can easily penetrate into the grow bag.

Botanicoir Dry XD is the driest in our range and has been designed for growers in milder climates growing crops that need high drainage and a lower water content. This special mix, with a high percentage of chips, promotes healthy root growth and enables to grower to steer the crops effectively. Using a slab such as Dry XD will help the grower to optimise the irrigation strategy and improve uptake of water and nutrients to the plant. The Dry XD mix is very forgiving if crops are over watered and is also quick to hydrate.
