Coir maintains excellent air porosity even when saturated and gives better crops with faster developing roots and more flowers and fruit per plant when used correctly.

Coir has better water retention qualities than peat and other growing media. This has obvious advantages in dry climates or at times when plants cannot be watered frequently such as in transit to market.

The inherent qualities of coir and the optimum water/air availability are ideal for quick rooting and propagation. In many cases, this leads to more seedling rotations per year.

Because Coir originates above ground it does not contain any soil diseases. In fact, several studies have indicated that coir substrate brings increased resistance to pythium and other root diseases.
