In Coir Super-Coarse the particles below 4 mm and those above 12 mm are removed. The resultant mix has short fibres and some small chips. The combination of these materials brings an excellent balance in terms of aeration and water retention characteristics. It supplies the required aeration to bring about strong root development in crops such as Gerbera and Palms.
