Cucumber
Clean, free-draining coir media for vigorous, high-yielding greenhouse cucumbers.
The right root zone for cucumber
Fast-growing cucumbers need a substrate that drains freely yet holds enough moisture for rapid uptake. Coco coir's open structure promotes strong white roots and steady growth, while its buffering keeps fertigation stable through heavy fruiting.
- Free-draining, no waterlogging
- Strong roots for vigorous vines
- Stable EC/pH through fruiting
- Reliable, uniform quality
What makes it hard
- Maintaining consistent moisture and EC across the crop
- Keeping the root zone oxygenated under irrigation
- Avoiding salt build-up that stresses roots
What the crop needs
- Stable, low EC for precise fertigation
- Balanced water-holding and air-filled porosity
- Even re-wetting for uniform plants
