xPremium, Sustainable Growing Medium for Any Garden
Meet the UBICON Coco Coir Block, an 11 lb compact unit that expands to roughly 20 gallons of airy, moisture-holding growing medium when hydrated. Derived from renewable coconut fibers, it offers a breathable texture that supports healthy root development across indoor gardens, outdoor beds, and greenhouses. The material is odorless, pH balanced, and naturally low in salts, making it a versatile base or amendment for a wide range of plants.
Key Advantages at a Glance
- Excellent aeration that helps roots breathe and grow stronger in container and bed settings.
- Strong water retention to maintain consistent moisture between waterings, even in warm climates.
- Biodegradable and renewable coco fiber that can be composted or recycled at the end of use.
- Low natural salts, odorless profile, and freedom from weeds, chemicals, and pests—contributing to cleaner starting conditions.
- Lightweight, compact form that expands dramatically when hydrated, reducing transport and storage challenges.
Versatile Uses for a Variety of Growing Scenarios
- Growing medium for succulents, flowers, vegetables, and mixed plantings in pots, raised beds, or greenhouse benches.
- Soil conditioner and substrate component for erosion control, slope stabilization, and landscape projects.
- Pet bedding and other practical applications where a clean, natural, fiber-based material is desired.
Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Conscious
Because the block is derived from a renewable resource and is designed to be reused or recycled, it aligns with eco-conscious gardening practices. The combination of high water-holding capacity and efficient nutrient retention means you may use less water and fertilizer over time, depending on your setup. The compact block form is easy to store between seasons, which helps reduce clutter in storage areas and garages.
How to Use
Hydrate the block with water until it fully expands, then fluff the material to release trapped air. Mix with existing soil or potting mixes to improve texture and moisture dynamics. Use as a primary growing medium in planters and beds, or blend with compost and amendments to tailor the mix for specific plants. For seed starting, a lighter blend can support delicate roots while still offering moisture retention.
Storage and Care
Store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from moisture to preserve texture and performance. Properly stored, the block remains ready for quick hydration when you’re ready to garden again.
