Coconut Fiber Pellets

Sustainable Alternative

Coconut fiber pellets offer an eco-friendly, sustainable alternative to traditional peat-based pellets, making them an excellent choice for seed starting and transplant propagation. Derived from renewable coconut coir, these pellets naturally resist mold growth, providing a cleaner and healthier environment for young seedlings. Their fibrous structure allows for rapid water absorption while retaining moisture effectively, reducing the need for frequent watering and supporting consistent germination.

When hydrated, the pellets expand into a nutrient-friendly growing medium that supports strong root development and easy transplanting. The breathable texture encourages oxygen flow to roots, minimizing transplant shock when seedlings are moved into the garden or larger containers. Coconut coir also has a neutral pH, making it suitable for a wide range of crops including vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

To use, simply place pellets in a seed tray or container, add warm water to expand, and plant seeds directly into the moistened coir. Once seedlings are ready, transplant the entire pellet into the soil to avoid disturbing roots. These pellets are compostable and break down naturally, returning organic matter to the soil.

excellent product

I haven't started from seed before and found these extremely easy to use and had around a 97% germination rate. Using these made transplanting a breeze. I plant to use them again next year now that I have a bit of experience.

Sustainable coir material

Larger size. Nice for starting larger seeds, too.

At 39 cents a pop

they ARE a bit expensive. But the convenience factor has to be considered. These pellets would be counter-productive if you were to use them to start a row of leeks or anything you were going to start a large amount of. In my case, where I tried them on a few cabbage and squash plants the cost wasn't a big deal. And the fact that these plants can now be transplanted without any root disturbance is a major plus.
Not having any experience with this type of starting medium I did have to do a bit of research - do I just drop the seed in the hole or do I fill the hole with Quickstart or some other mix? I quick look at YouTube showed me that all I had to do was manipulate the top of the pellet to collapse the materiel into the opening.
So far, a big Thumbs Up!

Good size

These are larger than the typical peat pellet, which makes them ideal for larger seeds like melons and squash. I have been using these for several years and am very pleased with them.

Awesome!

These do what they’re suppose to do. Makes the growing easy! Soaked some when I got them and seeds started sprouting a couple days later.
