| adding to what orchid126 has noted, I currently am using a mix of about 75%coir, 20% perlite, and 5% charcoal and it is working GREAT. How often are you watering your plants? You have to really be careful not to overwater when using coir. Good comment on flushing your coir real well as well as it often has excess salt from the ocean air. I would pull it up and inspect the roots and remove any material soft/black/mushy/stringy etc. If you are using straight coir you might want to mix a little perlite and charcoal into it as noted to help aerate and keep it fresh. mike |
