Nursery Plant Pots from Coconut Coir

Nursery Plant Pots from Coconut Coir

 

Plants grow faster in pots made of coconut husk with coconut dust than in soil. For example,

nursery plants like:

 

1. Asparagus springerie – grown in coconut husk with equal amounts of dust and swine

marine had more cuttings than those planted in rice field with swine manure.

 

2. Anthurium – more flowers per plant.

 

3. Dracaena fragrans (leafy plant) – increased roots

 

4. Mussaendes – longer roots (with spagnum moss and coconut) during marcotting.

 

5. Amherstia nobilis – faster marcotting even without the use of growth hormones.

Lumber from Coconut Tree

Lumber from Coconut Tree

 

Studies showed that wood from matured coconut trees when cut into 50 mm thick can be

used for housing and furniture materials.

 

To ensure that the wood does not get deformed, the lower part of the tree is cut and allowed

to dry in the air.

 

During summer, drying takes about 11-14 weeks and 16-17 weeks on rainy days.
