What to plant in CoirProducts.co.uk coco pots over winter

If you are looking for some winter bedding plants, there are some wonderful plants that do well in the cold, snow, and rain. If you have already planted pansies and violas, remember to deadhead them regularly to keep them flowering. Primroses are very hardy and will do well in your pots, while you can also try growing cyclamens and heathers. 

If you are looking for vegetables and other plants to grow in December, salad leaves or winter greens such as lamb’s lettuce, corn salad, and mizuna, are ideal for starting off in CoirProducts.co.uk coir pots. You can also try growing a variety of herbs like rosemary, sage, thyme, and lavender. If you are growing herbs in coir pots, don’t forget to take a look at our guide for growing herbs in coir pots over winter. 

In addition, you can also start sowing broad beans, onions, garlic, chilies, and aubergines on our coir pots, or if you are short on space, you could also try growing microgreens, that will give your dishes a burst of flavour this winter. You can also sow them in our 100% biodegradable CoirProducts.co.uk CoirCoins. 

Benefits of using CoirProducts.co.uk coco pots over winter 

CoirProducts.co.uk are made with natural coir with a natural latex added to it to help hold the pot together. Our coir pots are also fully biodegradable, which means, they decompose into the soil over time, and there is minimal harm on the environment in manufacturing or using our coir pots. 

Furthermore, we also have an unparalleled range of sizes to choose from when it comes to deciding on what coco pot you want to use, while our specially curated eco-friendly coir pots bundles are also unique in the market. 

Not only that, to make growing easy and convenient, you can use our coir pots alongside our natural, peat-free, and eco-friendly coir potting mix (coir compost) (which comes in a range of sizes of blocks, bricks, and discs). Simply place your plant in our coir pot, adding coir potting mix as required. Each coir potting mix brick, block, or disc expands when water is added, giving you plenty of fluffy and eco-friendly coir. If you are growing in climbers, we’ve also got a distinct range of coir-based growpoles that are the perfect aid for those climbing plants. For sowing seeds, such as herbs, our Coir products.co.uk CoirCoins, are unique in the market, coming with a fully biodegradable cover, and perfect for the eco-conscious grower. 

All our coir products retain water and moisture well, while also providing excellent drainage, which is essential for growing a variety of plants. Waterlogged roots can harm a plant, therefore our coir products provide good drainage, and are an ideal choice when it comes to helping plants grow healthier and stronger roots. If you want to replant any of your plants on the ground later, you can place them along with the pot itself. There is no transplanting shock, as plant roots can grow through the coir pots as they grow, and the pot itself degrades into the soil over time. 

What to remember when planting in CoirProducts.co.uk coir pots over winter 

Plants grow very little over winter, and knowing what exactly each plant needs to grow is important. You would need to position your pots in full light or partial shade, depending on the requirement of each plant, to ensure they grow well and remain healthy. Remember to also water the plants carefully over winter. Do a bit of research to find out what each plant needs, so that you can choose a suitable space for them whether indoors or outdoors. 

Planting in coir pots is a great way to involve the whole family too. In addition, planting in coir pots is also ideal for those just new to gardening or growing. Start small, choosing a few of your favourite plants.
