Introducing Sustainable Coconut Fibre: The Eco-Friendly Solution for Propagating Seeds and Cuttings

In a step towards sustainable gardening and eco-conscious plant care, Mr Fothergill’s is proud to introduce its new range of biodegradable coconut fibre pots, pellets and seed raising mix, made from the natural fibrous layer between the green skin and hard brown shell of coconuts. These innovative products provide a powerful, sustainable alternative to traditional plastic pots and potting mix, promoting healthier plants and a healthier planet.

Coconut fibre, a by-product of the coconut industry, is a material that renews every 75 days. With a minimal carbon footprint, it is an ideal solution for gardeners looking to minimize their environmental impact. By using coconut fibre for propagation, gardeners are not only supporting a more sustainable industry but also ensuring the successful growth of their plants.

Designed for the optimal propagation of seeds and cuttings, the coconut fibre pots and pellets facilitate unrestricted root growth. This means plants can be transplanted without the stress and shock often associated with traditional plastic pots. As a biodegradable material, coconut fibre products break down naturally, ensuring that they are both effective and eco-friendly, making them the perfect choice for the environmentally conscious gardener.

Created specifically for seed germination and strong root development, the seed starting mix gives seedlings the ideal environment to thrive from day one. This mix is boosted with slow-release nutrients and natural seaweed, offering the perfect balance of gentle feed to support healthy, vigorous growth—no extra fertiliser needed during the early stages.

The Coconut fibre range is ideal for all types of gardening, whether you’re a novice gardener or an experienced horticulturist. With their ability to foster healthy, vibrant plant life and reduce environmental harm, these products are the perfect choice for eco-conscious gardeners everywhere.
