Coconut fiber is an alternative substrate to peat and lacks significant nutritional value. It is derived from coconut shells and consists mainly of lignin. The fiber is composted outdoors for 2-3 years. After this maturation stage, the organic material is dehydrated and sanitized, making it free of seeds of phytopathogens (fungi, viruses, and bacteria) and pests (nematodes and insects).
It is also sometimes used in mixtures with other substrates:
-35% peat, 35% perlite, 15% coconut fiber, 15% bark for growing Nepenthes
-50% coconut fiber and 50% perlite for Sarracenia and Dionaea muscipula
