Moisture Retainer Discs
Natural Moisture Protection for Plants & Trees
Nordic Coir Moisture Retainer Discs are natural coir fibre discs designed to protect the soil surface around trees, shrubs and container plants.
Placed around the base of the plant, the disc helps reduce moisture loss, limit weed growth and keep the root zone cleaner, while providing a natural and professional appearance.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Protect Moisture. Reduce Maintenance.
The natural coir structure helps reduce direct evaporation from the soil surface while allowing water to pass through to the root zone.
The pre-cut centre opening and slit make installation quick and easy around existing plants.
By covering exposed growing media around the plant, Moisture Retainer Discs also help reduce soil splash and create a cleaner, more organised appearance in pots, nursery production and landscaped areas.
Key Benefits
ROOT-ZONE SURFACE PROTECTION
A Simple Natural Layer Above the Growing Media
Helps Retain Moisture
The coir disc covers exposed growing media and helps reduce direct moisture loss from the soil surface.
Helps Limit Weed Growth
The physical surface layer helps reduce the open growing area available for unwanted vegetation.
Cleaner Root Zone
The disc helps limit soil splash during irrigation and keeps pots, beds and surrounding production areas more organised.
EASY INSTALLATION
Quick to Place Around Established Plants
Select the Correct Diameter
Match the disc to the pot's internal surface area or the desired coverage around the plant.
Open the Pre-Cut Slit
The pre-cut slit allows the disc to be opened along the radius to the centre opening.
Position Around the Plant Stem or Trunk
Place the disc flat on the growing media around the base of the established plant.
The central opening and installation slit allow the disc to be positioned around established plants without removing them from the container or growing area.

Final dimensions and thickness can be discussed according to plant type, container size and commercial application.
FORMATS & DIMENSIONS
Designed to Fit Different Plants
Plant containers and root zones vary considerably, so Moisture Retainer Discs can be produced in different diameters to match the intended application.
Small Nursery Pots
Compact discs for smaller nursery containers and young plants.
Medium & Large Containers
Larger diameters for ornamental plants, shrubs and commercial planters.
Young Trees
Disc configurations designed for larger trunk openings and root-zone coverage.
Landscape Applications
Larger formats for ground-planted shrubs, trees and commercial landscape projects.
Custom diameters can be produced for larger commercial requirements.
CHOOSING A SIZE
Match the Disc to the Pot or Root Zone
For container applications, the disc diameter should be selected according to the usable internal surface area of the pot rather than relying only on the nominal external pot diameter.
For trees, shrubs and ground applications, the required coverage area and trunk or stem opening should also be considered.
