If your houseplants often droop, develop root rot, or simply refuse to thrive, the problem may not be the plant itself, it’s the soil. Most “all-purpose” composts are designed for outdoor beds and retain far too much water indoors. Enter coco peat, the natural, peat-free growing medium that’s quietly becoming every plant lover’s best friend.
At Coirology®, we’ve perfected premium coco peat mixes that keep indoor plants healthy, happy, and beautifully green - all while being completely sustainable.
Why Regular Compost Fails Indoors
Houseplants live in containers with limited drainage. Traditional compost or peat retains too much moisture, depriving roots of oxygen and creating the perfect breeding ground for fungus gnats, mold, and root diseases. Peat also compacts over time, restricting root growth and causing irregular watering cycles. This inconsistent moisture level is one of the biggest reasons indoor plants struggle.
That’s why more and more indoor gardeners across peat free compost communities are making the switch to a cleaner, more balanced solution - coco peat.
What Is Coco Peat and How Is It Made?
Coco peat is a natural by-product of coconut husks. After the fibers are extracted for ropes and mats, the remaining pith is cleaned, washed, and processed into a soft, fluffy growing medium. The coir we use at Coirology® is triple-washed using harvested rainwater, sun-dried, and sieved for consistent particle size. The result is a pH-neutral, low-salinity substrate that holds moisture while allowing perfect airflow to plant roots.
Why Coco Peat Is Ideal for Houseplants
Perfect moisture balance, improved aeration, and a clean, odor-free experience make coco the perfect choice for indoor plant lovers.
It is reusable, sustainable, and naturally resistant to soil-borne pests and fungi.
How to Repot Houseplants Using Coco Coir
- Choose a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fill halfway with Coirology® All-Purpose Potting Mix or a blend of coco peat and perlite.
- Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new container.
- Fill around the root ball with the coco mix, pressing lightly.
- Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain.
