Description

Jiffy Coir Pots are an innovative and completely environmentally friendly product suitable for use in both organic and non-organic gardening. Being 100% biodegradable, the pots themselves are made completely from coir pith; a natural by-product of the coconut industry. Instead of coir pith going to waste, Jiffy makes use of this excess material to make a clean, green, effective product.

Not only are Jiffy Coir Pots great for the environment, they're also great for your plants. The pots are soft enough to allow the roots to move directly through the wall of the pot without affecting the natural growth rate or development of the root system.

In fact, growth rate can be increased as once the roots grow through the walls of the pots it promotes air pruning. Air pruning encourages the development of stronger roots when compared to normal plastic pots.

The Jiffy Coir Pots also eliminate transplant stress when the time comes to pot on. As the pots are completely biodegradable and give plants full access to air, water, and nutrients; all you have to do is simply re-pot the entire pot either into the ground or into a larger plastic pot, reducing interruption to the roots and plant growth.

Key features of the Jiffy Coir Pots include:

  • Made from environmentally friendly coir pith
  • Suitable for organic growers
  • No need to repot eliminating transplant stress
  • Breathable pot allows for air pruning and strong root development
  • Completely biodegradable pots that allow for faster water penetration than peat pots

 

The Jiffy Coir Pots are ideal for seeds, seedlings, and cuttings. From our experience they really do minimise transplant stress and encourage healthy root growth. We highly recommend these pots for organic gardeners and those who want to limit the maintenance and plant stress associated with transplanting.

How to use

Fill and sow or plant as you would a small pot. When it is time to pot on, plant the whole coir pot into the ground or a larger pot: there is nothing to remove, so the roots are not disturbed.

A rooted Jiffy 7 pellet can go straight into a coir pot with light mix soil or coco.

Questions

Do I take the plant out of the coir pot to pot it on?

No. Plant the whole pot into the ground or a bigger pot. The roots grow through the wall, so there is no transplant stress.

How do coir pots compare with peat pots?

Coir pots let water through faster than peat pots, and the roots are air-pruned where they meet the wall, giving a stronger root system.
