Roots Organics Coco Fiber, 12" x 12" Compressed Block

24-Month Aged Coco Fiber Compressed Block, 12in x 12in

Raw, unaged coco fiber can carry excess sodium and an unstable structure that shifts as it breaks down in the growing media, which can stress sensitive crops over time. Roots Organics Coco Fiber is aged and composted for 24 months and washed to remove excess sodium before it's compressed into this block, giving growers a more stable fiber to mix into soil and soilless media.

This 12in x 12in compressed block expands significantly once rehydrated, giving growers a compact, shippable format for a substantial volume of loose fiber.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural pH of 5.2-6.3 — keeps the fiber in a plant-friendly range before feeding starts.
• 24 months aged and composted — before being washed and compressed.
• Washed to remove excess sodium — reduces the risk of sodium stress in sensitive crops.
• Increased fiber content — built for mixing into soil and soilless media.
• 100% pure coco fiber — no blended fillers or additives.

Who Should Use This

Growers mixing their own soil and soilless media who want a stable, aged coco fiber component, rather than an unaged fiber that can shift in the media over time, will find this block suited to that use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the natural pH range?

It has a natural pH of 5.2-6.3. That range is suited for optimum nutrient uptake when mixed into soil or soilless media.

How long is it aged before sale?

It's aged and composted for 24 months before being washed and compressed into this block. That aging period is meant to give a more stable fiber than an unaged product.

Why is it washed?

It's washed to remove excess sodium before compression. Excess sodium in an unwashed coco product can stress sensitive crops over time.

What is it made from?

It's 100% pure coco fiber sourced from coconut husks, with increased fiber content built for mixing into soil and soilless growing media. There are no blended fillers or additives.

How much does the block expand once rehydrated?

The 12in x 12in compressed block expands significantly once soaked in water, yielding a substantial volume of loose fiber. That compression is what keeps the shipped size compact relative to the usable volume.
