Pronounced “coyer” (kȯi(-ə)r), coir pith is the main constituent of most coir products and is commonly used as a component of horticultural growing media.
Coir is a renewable resource and a natural by-product of the brown fiber industry of tropical countries such as India, Indonesia, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
