They say its something like 14 X water expandable and a renewable resource, better than peat, although most ppl still stick to canadian peat sphagnum peat (quote - I have seen VFTs grow better in peat than coir...) Don't know if true or not, but still you could give it a try.
Hehe, they label it 'wondersoil' here and say all these fancy things about it (plus marking a ridiculously high price on it), look at the ingredients! Coir, peat...then you won't get ripped off (like I *almost* did)

Ps. Is coir 100% coconut fibre? Becuz I used it to make a bog b4 (terrraium bog) - coco fibre on the bottom and a layer of LFS on top? I should think coir alone would be too dense a medium, maybe mixing it in the 50:50 ratio with perlite/sand would help...otherwise you've got waterlogged roots to deal with!
