At Botanicoir we use specially chosen particles sizes of coir pith, coir chips and short fibre to create the optimum environment for pepper plants, depending on grower preference and local climates. Grow bags for pepper or capsicum crops are the most popular option, but we also offer bespoke products made specifically to your requirements. Our unique production techniques ensure that the coir slabs are homogenous across the whole growing area to aid crop steering and irrigation management. All mixes, dimensions and plastic can be customised to suit individual requirements.

Grow Bags
Coir grow bags are popular with pepper or capsicum growers as they give a controlled environment for precision growing. The homogenous distribution of coir and chips means that growers will see even and fast root development, leading to healthier plants and increased yields. Grow bags are dried and compressed to give easy transport, storage and handling.
Mix Specifications
Botanicoir offers a range of mixes for pepper or capsicum crops incorporating coir pith, coir chips and short fibre in varied ratios to offer the required water content. Our substrate mixes are designed to encourage generative growing and promote healthy plants, whilst giving growers the ability to steer the crop. We recommend washed products for pepper or capsicum growers to remove the naturally occurring sodium, chloride and potassium.
