Nurseries Materials

Materials

By using Pelemix sieving technology, the fine dust is removed from the Cocopeat. After removing the fine dust Pelemix produces the growbag according to the growers needs. Pelemix generally uses three types of Cocopeat, ³/₄", P.L.F (Premium Long Fibers) and Crush for growbags.
For seedlings nurseries, Pelemix generally uses the ¹/₄" fraction and the ¹/₆" fractions. The natural pH of Cocopeat is 5.5-6.0. This is an excellent starting point for growth. In the long run the pH level is a result of irrigation water and root activity.
The natural E.C. of Cocopeat is 2.5-3.0, but this value is variable. Therefore pre treatment with calcium nitrate and the washings that follow it are essential. Pelemix also provides the opportunity to purchase the Cocopeat after it was already treated and washed.

1/4" , 1/6" Cocopeat

The ¹/₆" Cocopeat and the ¹/₄" Cocopeat materials are Pelmix's unique products for Nurseries which specialize in seedlings.

3/4"DS Cocopeat

The ³/₄" Cocopeat is one of Pelemix's leading products and it is recommended for use in hot climate regions (Such as Mexico, South Africa and Australia ).

P.L.F cocopeat

The P.L.F. Cocopeat is a combination of coco chips and 3/4" Cocopeat. The presence of chips provides a more drainable medium and therefore is more suitable for regions with both, hot and cold growing periods (Such as U.S.A. and Turkey).

Crush Pro

This Combination of ³/₄" cocopeat and Crush provides a more drainable growing media. It is suitable for climates having a cold winter and hot summer. It is perfect for growers who are interested in applying large number of irrigation cycles in all seasons.

Chips

Pieces of Coir made from the husk. The chips material is usually added to the growing media as an aerating supplement and allows higher drainage. Chips are very popular in orchid nurseries. The presence of the chips inside the growing media supplies the orchids a good combination of moisture, air and water. There are different sizes of Coir chips and it is important to use the right fraction for the right crop.
