Coconut coir containers from Myers Industries offer visibly better, faster plant growth, maintain their form when wet, and will not compact, maintaining a proper air to water ratio. The coir comes from an inland source, so the material has naturally reduced salt levels. They also have a higher resistance to mold.

The containers are made from a biodegradable, organic material and in independent tests required 30% less watering than peat, making them an excellent option in sustainable programs. For more information, visit Myers Industries.

With their unique design of angles, ledges, ribs, and holes, patented RootMaker propagation containers are highly efficient at directing roots for air root pruning. By loading the container with active root tips, every plant is equipped for transplant success and long-term health.
