Rooted in purpose: why our coir pots start with the soil, not the sale

At CoirProducts.co.uk® by Salike®, we don’t just make coir pots — we design growing solutions with purpose, rooted in over a decade of hands-on understanding of soil health, sustainability, and what growers truly need.

While others rush to follow trends and slap labels on mass-produced coir products, we take a different path — one that begins not with the market, but with the soil itself.

A product born from the ground up

Our coir pots are not the result of a branding brainstorm or a race to stock shelves. They are the outcome of listening to growers, collaborating with horticulture experts, and investing years in refining a product that genuinely nurtures plant health — from germination to transplanting.

Coir, by its very nature, is biodegradable and earth-conscious — but not all coir pots are created with the same intent or integrity. We’ve seen the rise of imitators, fast-followers, and generic alternatives that simply echo the category without understanding the craft. That’s why our team insists on starting where it matters most: the needs of the soil, and the roots of the plant.

Designed with growers in mind — not marketing teams

Everything about our coir pots — from thickness to texture, drainage to durability — has been tested in real-world conditions with real growers. This grower-first mindset ensures that every pot we offer supports strong root systems, reduces transplant shock, and naturally decomposes without harming the environment.

We’re proud that many of our community growers, charities, and schools have adopted our coir pots not just for their function, but for what they stand for: a holistic approach to growing that respects the planet and supports those who work the land.

More than a product — a statement of principle

In an industry that’s becoming increasingly noisy with greenwashed claims and generic coir solutions, we continue to take a quieter, but more meaningful approach: purpose before promotion, function before fashion, and ethics before imitation.

We don’t rush products to market. We don’t slap “eco” labels without meaning. And we don’t copy. Because real sustainability doesn’t come from mimicry — it comes from commitment, clarity, and care.
