Coconut Water for Plants
What is it and how does it help us grow better plants?
When you use coconut water for your plants and gardens, you’ll notice faster growth and more productive plants. Read below to find out more benefits of using coconut water for your plants.
Coconut Water: What Is It?
Coconut water is the water found inside the coconut. It contains plant growth hormones, amino acids and nutrients.
When the germination process starts, the living water turns into an embryo, which then turns into a young coconut plant.
Studies show that coconut water can work as well as synthetic rooting hormones to help to stimulate fast and vigorous root growth
Studies show that plants treated with coconut water grow at over double the rate and produce much bigger yeilds
Coconut Water: The Science
Studies show that adding coconut water on seedlings and plants has incredible effects on growth.
Coconut Water: Why Use It On Plants?
1. The natural growth hormones inside coconut water act as a biostimulant making plants grow bigger and faster.
2. It contains amino acids which act as building blocks for stronger, more resilient plant growth.
3. Coconut water contains over 16 macro and micro nutrients – many which aren’t found in regular fertilisers.
When you use coconut water to help with propagation, you’ll notice:
1. Bigger roots in less time
2. Reduced risk of plant death
3. Resilient young plants that tolerate transplanting well
We created our Original Horticultural Coconut Water Powder so that plants could benefit from the natural growth-boosting properties of fresh coconut water.
Use 1 gram per litre of water to:
- Reduce risk of plant death*
- Double the rate of plant growth*
- Produce bigger, more productive yields*
Kayla G05/05/2023Love this product. I love that this is NZ made and most of all pet friendly. I have used this via different methods on most of my plants including monsteras, syngoniums, philodendron, epipremnum etc. I like using this for seedlings/fresh cuttings, I leave them sitting in the mix for a few hours; then pour the excess of the top once potted. I also like using it as a spray on the foilage for an extra boost. As well as the traditional watering. I have never had any concerns about using this on my more expensive/rare plants either - win win.
Blair Campbell08/01/2022If you are not convinced then 'The Chemical Composition and Biological Properties of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) (2009) is well worth a read. It is a no brainer to use this product.
Vivian Yeh (Luxe Life)12/12/2021It works Magic!!!!! I had this cutting that had been sitting in water for like ages and never seemed to gonna grow any roots then I added groconut then BOOM it just couldn't stop growing! Before using it I was a bit dubious but honestly it's the best thing I've ever get my hands on! Now I use it all the time with my cuttings and it speeds up the rooting process and the roots grow healthier and stronger ❤ recommend to every plant lovers out there.
Kendra Holland20/07/2021I love Groconut & cannot recommend enough!! Groconut helps reduce transplant shock & grows roots faster. Since using Groconut i found it helps promote a healthy root system and i also use it as a "feed" and my plants & propagations are thriving!
marjorie black05/07/2021I really have noticed a change after using this. My orchid's flowers seem to be lasting longer, and I'm thrilled that it's non-toxic and I can use it on my veggies. My winter veggies have never looked happier.Highly recommend.
Jared Cobbett04/07/2021This stuff is to plants like honey is to a bee. I had a Syngonium wendlandii cutting which has dropped two leaves and was turning yellow. Put it in groconut for a week to two wee and its just pushed out a new leaf. Very stoked considering it was quite an expensive plant that got saved just by putting it in this mixture. Also great to spritz over all our other plants for general happiness.
Natalie Wilson15/03/2021This is like steroids for my plants!! I've had wonderful results, with my seemingly dormant Monstera standleyana and pothos all coming to life with amazing variegation. I'm thrilled.
Laura Procter19/01/2021Money well spent! I will never propagate without Groconut again, it has exceeded all expectations. Plants are rooting 80% faster compared to not using anything at all, and stubborn cuttings that had been doing nothing for 4 weeks have been putting out roots within 2 days after a soak in Groconut. My Hoyas & Turtles especially have just absolutely taken off after being watered with this too Love love love it!
Ashley Maclellan07/01/2021My plants love this. I make a litre to mist my string of turtle cuttings and water my other plants with the rest. All my plants and loving it so much and showing amazing growth
Krisha dela Cruz03/01/2021Absolutely amazing product 😍 I solely used groconut as my wee turtle's feed and in 3 months the growth progress is impressive-- its like plant crack 😂 I can't say enough good things about it! Also very good on hoya cutting!
