Cococara's Exciting New Products for Pot Cultivation

Cococara LLC, based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize pot cultivation with its latest offerings: the Cococara Bag Type Y and Cococara Slab Type Y, scheduled for release in October 2025. Utilizing a unique blend of coir products designed specifically for the challenges faced during high-temperature growing periods, these innovations promise to enhance the quality and yield of crops, particularly summer strawberries and floral plants.

Development Background

Cococara operates its own factory in South India, which specializes in creating coir products tailored to the specific needs of producers. The new products aim to address common issues such as inconsistent yields and quality during warm growing seasons, as well as the potential for root rot in pot cultivation. By developing these solutions, Cococara caters directly to growers' needs, promising not only improved growing conditions but also higher productivity.

Product Highlights

The Cococara Bag Type Y and Cococara Slab Type Y have been crafted with three key features that set them apart:

1. Excellent Aeration and Drainage: The blend of coir chips and fibers is designed to prevent root suffocation by maintaining optimal spacing within the growing medium. This ensures that fresh air reaches the roots while mitigating the risks of root rot, especially during high-temperature periods.

2. Moderate Moisture Retention: While the products are highly drainable, they also retain an adequate level of moisture due to the coir content. This balance prevents over-drying, creating a consistently stable moisture environment that reduces watering frequency and associated costs.

3. Uniform Quality: The product has been optimized by carefully removing fine particles (dust) under 0.5mm in size, which can accumulate at the pot's bottom and impair drainage. This allows for stable growing conditions over extended periods, making it especially well-suited for summer strawberries and flowering crops in pots.

Versatile Product Shapes

Cococara offers two product shapes to match various cultivation styles, ensuring that customers can select the best option based on their growing methods and operational efficiency:

• - Bag Type: Ideal for elevated benches used in strawberry farming, the standard dimensions are 100×20×12 cm and compressed five times.
• - Slab Type: Suitable for the same elevated bench systems, it comes in dimensions of 100×20×15 cm and 100×20×12 cm, with custom sizes available for further adaptability.

Customizable Blends Based on Customer Needs

In addition to the standard offerings, Cococara allows for customization of the product's blend ratios of coir, chips, and cut fibers to meet specific farming environments and growth targets. Growers can adjust moisture retention or drainage capabilities according to their individual crop needs, making these products highly versatile.

Recommended for Growers

These products are particularly beneficial for:

• - Summer Strawberry Cultivation: During the summer, the increase in growing media temperature can lead to reduced levels of dissolved oxygen, essential for root health. The Y Type's superior aeration and drainage contribute significantly to maintaining root respiration and promoting healthy growth in high-temperature situations.
• - Flower Pot Cultivation: Growers who have previously utilized coir chips will find these products advantageous in preventing water retention issues while enabling robust root establishment.

Irrigation Guidelines for Summer Strawberries

To maximize growth potential, the irrigation regimen should follow a careful cycle: ample watering in the morning, supplemental sprinkling in the afternoon, and a drying phase at night. This method ensures the consistent supply of moisture while allowing the growing medium to breathe.
