Organic, vegan and peat-free – these coconut coir discs are perfect for growing microgreens.
Place in a saucer or tray and pour 35 – 60ml of hot water on the disc. The disc will then soak up the water and expand. Spread the coir evenly and gently press to get a smooth, even surface. The coir should feel damp but not too soggy. You are then ready to sprinkle your seeds on top of the coir before watering very lightly and covering the tray or saucer so the seeds can germinate in the dark. Once they begin to sprout (anything from 3 – 5 days normally) remove the cover and place it in a light place.

I love to grow without soil.
These coconut coirs are fool proof and always work.
No odor and quick enabling seeds are moist and happy to grow.

Great way to get micro greens growing, works every time without fail. Clean and easy to use and to dispose of in the compost.
Catherine Rosenberg (Verified Buyer) –
These work pretty well in old plastic butter cartons, and all of the seeds that I have tried have grown well this way.

Easy to use on my first go in a saucer with mustard seeds. A good result
Catherine (Verified Buyer) –
These work well for the smaller seeds on a saucer but I did not have so much success with them for the larger seeds such as the sunflower which I think may need more than one coir disc. Some further guidance would be really helpful.
