Coco Coir Pellets

I have found out the hard way. Don't use them.

They are supposed to be like a jiffy pot pellets. But they're not.

I started a couple of plants in them and when they got larger I transplanted them into larger pots. They looked good at first then started slowly dieing.

So I took the best one out of the larger pot and found the coco coir pellet was rock hard. So I cut the retaining bag off and it exploded.

My baby was root bound and no roots grew out of the bag that is around the pellets.

I have transplanted it into a fresh pot and I'll see if it recovers.

is that a toilet roll cardboard center i see pokeing out the soil? if so, only use cheap ones, the more expencive brands use anti growth chemicals in the cardboard to stop shit growing on damp card

It's not cardboard. But the mesh is pretty tight.

This is what I bought and it was pretty cheap.
