  • What is buffered coco coir and why is it better than washed coco peat?
    Buffered coco coir undergoes a chemical treatment where excess potassium and sodium ions are replaced with calcium. This ensures better nutrient availability, reduces EC spikes, and makes it safer for sensitive crops like strawberries and lettuce.
  • How long does coco coir last, and can it be reused?
    With proper nutrient flushing, coco coir can be reused for up to 2–3 crop cycles. After that, its structure degrades and it’s best used as garden compost or soil conditioner.
  • How to choose the right coco coir mix for different crops (e.g., tomato vs. flowers)?
    For heavy-feeding crops like tomatoes, go with 70:30 peat-to-chip mix for better aeration. For flowers, finer peat ensures moisture retention. Custom blends like 60:40 or 50:50 can be tailored to root structure and climate.
  • What is the ideal EC and pH range for high-quality coco peat?
    Premium coco peat should have an EC below 0.5 mS/cm (1:1.5 ratio) and a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. This range is perfect for most horticulture crops and ensures optimal nutrient uptake.
  • How does moisture retention in GroMax coir compare with other growing media?
    Our substrates balance high moisture retention with excellent aeration, maintaining 70–80% water holding while providing up to 25–30% air porosity.
  • Can you help us develop a custom blend for our greenhouse/hydroponics setup?
    Absolutely. Our team can customize blends based on crop type, climate, irrigation system, and growing stage (nursery vs. fruiting phase).
  • Is GroMax Coco Coir free from harmful pathogens and weed seeds?
    Yes. Our coir is Sun dried and triple-filtered. Every batch is tested for microbial load and weed seed presence as per international horticulture standards.
  • What are the benefits of using coco coir instead of peat moss or rockwool?
    Coco coir is renewable, biodegradable, and improves microbial activity in the root zone. Unlike peat moss, it’s pH-neutral. And unlike rockwool, it doesn’t create landfill waste or irritate hands.
  • How long does GroMax coir geotextile last in the field?
    Depending on GSM and local conditions, it degrades naturally over 18–36 months—long enough to allow vegetation to take root and stabilize the soil.
  • Is coir geotextile environmentally friendly compared to synthetic fabrics?
    100%. Coir is fully biodegradable, doesn’t leach microplastics, and promotes plant growth. Unlike polypropylene geotextiles, it supports sustainable green infrastructure.
  • What is coir geotextile, and how is it used in erosion control?
    Coir geotextile is a biodegradable fabric made from coconut fiber. It stabilizes soil on slopes, riverbanks, and construction sites by allowing water percolation while holding soil particles in place—ideal for eco-restoration and green engineering.
  • Which GSM is best for my project: 400, 700, or 900?
    400 GSM: For light slope stabilization and landscaping 700 GSM: For medium load erosion control and drain protection 900 GSM: For heavy-duty slope stabilization and riverbank protection We can help you select the ideal grade based on soil type, gradient, and application.
  • Can you supply large-scale geotextile rolls for government or infrastructure projects?
    Yes. We manufacture and export in bulk for large-scale landscaping, civil engineering, and infrastructure tenders with customized roll widths and GSM options.
