4 compressed blocks of coco coir Coco coir is a plant-based fiber made from coconut husks. The fibers are extracted from dry husks, washed thoroughly, and stored for several months. They are then ground again and sieved to classify the product into different particle sizes, purified from dust, and compressed into 5kg blocks. 15 liters of water are added per block, making it easy for the consumer to rehydrate it before use by adding water to the blocks.
