HydroGro Wood Fibre

HydroGro Wood Fibre is a cutting‑edge growing medium developed from plantation‑grown pine chips that undergo a thermal refinement process. Each chip is defibrillated, sterilised (exceeding 100 °C), and converted into fine, long strands of fibre with large surface area. The result is a material with similar water retention and aeration properties to coir or peat—yet fully Australian‑made and sustainably sourced.

Why choose HydroGro?

• High water‑holding capacity and rapid re‑wetting—in trials it re‑absorbed water in around 13 seconds
• Low bulk density supports strong root growth and improved plant health
• Sustainable alternative to imported coir or peat with lower environmental footprint
• Versatile for use in potting mixes, garden beds, planters or as a standalone substrate

Applications

Use HydroGro Wood Fibre as:

• A base medium in custom potting mixes
• A substitute for peat moss or coir in large‑scale horticulture
• A premium mulch or soil conditioner for garden beds and landscape projects

Technical notes

• Material derived from Pinus elliottii and Pine caribae (Southern and Caribbean pines) processed in Australia
• Designed to match or exceed the performance of imported substrates in root development and growth outcomes such as Coir Pith.

Usage tip

Better results are achieved when used as part of a balanced mix: dress the substrate with necessary nutrients, monitor watering, and treat HydroGro as a modern growing medium—not just a filler or mulch.

Because of its high water-holding capacity, consider drainage and watering frequency carefully.

Store sealed and dry before use.
