Medicoir Pop-Up Bags (Open Top Containers – OTC)

Medicoir Pop-up Bags, also known as Open Top Containers (OTC), are a premium substrate solution designed to save time and increase efficiency in professional horticultural operations. Trusted by facilities across South Africa, Canada, the USA, and Portugal, these pop-ups combine precision-blended coir with a compact, easy-to-use format for reliable, high-performance results. Each bag is fully traceable, audit-ready, and comes with a Certificate of Analysis, making it suitable for medical and commercial applications.

Features

• Premium Coir Blend (PPU – Precision Plus Ultra): Combines ultra particles, coir fibre, and coir pith for uniform structure, aeration, and drainage.

• Buffered and Inert: Low EC (<0.3/cm) and controlled pH (5.6–6.4) ensure nutrients are fully available, giving you complete control over plant nutrition.

• Optimal Air and Water Management: Air-filled porosity of 25% and water-holding capacity of 55% for ideal root development.

• Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Coir is a renewable substrate with minimal environmental impact.

• Hygienic and Clean: No loose substrate, eliminating mess and reducing the risk of pathogens from reused pots.

• Compact and Cost-Effective: Compressed format reduces storage and logistics costs. Eliminates the need for rigid pots and potting labour.

• Compliance Ready: Each bag is numbered and comes with COA for microbial and heavy metal analysis, ideal for traceability and audits.

• Enhanced Crop Performance: Superior structure and drainage promote uniform growth and higher yields.

• Temperature-Controlled Root Zone: White/black co-extruded bags reflect heat, keeping roots cooler for improved growth.

• Time and Labour Savings: Reduces SOP complexity, lowers labour costs, and simplifies propagation workflows.

Application

1. Rehydrate the Coir: Charge the pop-up with nutrient water as you rehydrate to pre-load the substrate with the nutrients your plants will need.

2. Position for Irrigation: Place the pop-up on a rolling bench and insert a Netbow or dripper spike at the back.

3. Plant Your Cuttings or Seedlings: The substrate is ready for cuttings or seedlings, supporting rapid root development and uniform growth.

4. Maintain Efficient Workflow: No potting, washing, or cleaning required, reducing labour and potential contamination risks.

Benefits

• Faster and more uniform crop growth

• Reduced labour and operational costs

• Audit-ready and traceable for compliance

• Compact storage and logistics-friendly

• Improved ROI compared to traditional loose-fill substrates
