Meet Burpee’s Organic Coconut Coir Seed Starting Mix, a premium option crafted from renewable coconut fiber. The compact bricks expand with water to become a light, moisture‑retentive growing medium designed to support seed germination and healthy root development. This kit yields about 16 quarts of mix in total when expanded, making it a space‑savvy choice for home gardeners who start seeds indoors or outdoors.

Why gardeners choose this coconut coir mix

• Organic & renewable: Made from recycled coconut husks, coir is a biodegradable, renewable soil alternative that helps reduce dependence on peat moss. OMRI listed and certified organic for trusted use in organic seed starting.
• Premium growing medium: The mix supports germination and root growth by providing a balanced environment for nutrient uptake. It’s naturally more resistant to common seedling issues, helping young plants establish with confidence.
• Easy to store, easy to expand: Dehydrated, compact bricks save space until planting; when water is added, each brick expands to about 8 quarts, and the package contains two bricks for a total of roughly 16 quarts of medium.
• Moisture management: Coconut coir retains water effectively and promotes good air circulation, helping seeds stay evenly moistened without becoming waterlogged.
• Burpee guarantee: Burpee stands behind its gardening products and aims to ensure customer satisfaction; support is available if you’re not satisfied with your purchase.

How to use

• Place the bricks in a container and add water gradually until fully expanded (about 8 quarts per brick).
• Fluff the mix to create a light, airy texture. Mix with other potting soil if desired.
• Fill seed trays or pots, sow seeds according to their guidelines, and keep the medium evenly moist as you care for seedlings.
