Peppers

Buffered, low-EC coir grow bags and slabs for long-season greenhouse pepper crops.

Why coir for peppers

The right root zone for peppers

Peppers are a long, generative crop that rewards a stable, well-oxygenated root zone. Buffered coir grow bags hold steady moisture and a low EC, supporting strong roots and consistent fruit set through a long season.

  • Stable moisture for a long crop
  • Good air porosity for healthy roots
  • Buffered, low-EC for precise steering
  • Uniform, re-wettable batches

What mix ratio for peppers?

A 70/30 pith/chips grow bag suits most pepper crops; choose 50/50 for hot climates or high-frequency fertigation.

Can you supply to my target EC?

Yes — we wash and buffer to a low, stable EC and can supply to your specified target with a batch COA.
