You can plant the coir pot directly into the ground, which will eliminate root disturbance and help keep your plant happy. The roots will make their way through the pot and into the soil. The pot itself will decompose within about two months in healthy, watered soil.

Description

Geranium robertianum. 1.1L coir pot.

Although not often used as a culinary herb, the tea made from the leaves and stems is believed by some to strengthen the immune system and act as a general health preventative.

For hundreds of years, the herb has been used as a foot infusion to help remove toxins, radiation and heavy metals from the body. A hot poultice made of steeped leaves has been used to help bruises and ongoing skin problems, along with bladder pains. Leaves from the plant have also been used as a gargle to assist with bleeding gums, sore throats and mouth ulcers. 

This fast growing plant can handle most conditions but prefers a damp, shady position. It will grow to around 25cm high by 30cm wide.

The leaves can be used as a pest deterrent and can be added to pet’s bedding.
