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

Tecticornia lepidosperma. 1.1L coir pot.

This hardy WA native is a salt-tolerant succulent that is a very important part of our coastal ecosystem.

The crunchy leaves are edible and pack a lovely salty taste. They’re a good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A.    

The plant enjoys a full sun to part shade position in sandy, well draining soil, and it should grow to about 1m in height.
