Coir Vital Grow® Potting Mix: the natural power of coir, refined for the modern grower

For decades, coco peat—also known as coir potting mix—has been quietly revolutionising gardening around the world. Made from the humble coconut husk, this natural by-product is rich in benefits: excellent water retention, optimal aeration, and eco-friendly origins. But while coco peat has been around for years, not all coir potting mixes are created equal. Coir Vital Grow® Potting Mix by Salike® isn’t just another coir mix on the shelf—it’s the gold standard for quality, value, and purpose.

The truth behind CoirProducts Coir Vital Grow® potting mix: a legacy, not a gimmick

Let’s set the record straight. Coir potting mix has been used for decades. Long before the rise of flashy packaging and marketing gimmicks, companies in the UK were already trying to introduce this sustainable wonder to the local market in the early ‘90s. Back then, the market wasn’t ready. Today, that’s changed—and so have we.

We recently spoke to a trailblazer who was among the first to bring coir to the UK retail sector over 30 years ago. Their story confirms what people always knew: this isn’t a new invention. It’s a time-tested solution, now refined, elevated, and brought to your garden through Coir Vital Grow® Potting Mix—a product of purpose, not profit-chasing.

The making of Coir Vital Grow® potting mix: why ours stands apart

Coir Vital Grow® potting mix is created by processing the fibrous husk of coconuts. The fibres are separated, cleaned, washed to remove excess salts, dried, and finely sieved. The result is a soft, spongy, peat-like material that makes the perfect growing medium.

But while the process sounds simple, the quality lies in the refinement. That’s where Coir Vital Grow® outshines the rest. Our 80L Coir Vital Grow Potting Mix—compressed into a handy 5kg block—has undergone meticulous screening and washing to ensure consistent texture, low EC levels, and high porosity. It rehydrates into a rich, fluffy substrate that provides the perfect balance of drainage and moisture retention. Your plants won’t just grow—they’ll thrive.

We don’t hide behind bright colours or gimmicky claims. We don’t slap a label on a coconut and pretend we invented coir. Our product speaks for itself, backed by years of development, deep-rooted knowledge, and a real connection with the grower community.
