Here is an interesting article from the Peatlands Protection Society regarding the pros and cons of peat moss and coir.

Washington State University points out that coconut coir is a “readily renewable, pH-neutral, non-hydrophobic soil amendment that aerates, improves water retention, and is more
environmentally friendly than peat moss.”

I bought Organic Sunshine Coir that was on clearance last year. I potted up begonia tubers this spring and they just sat there. I pulled some tubers from their pots and planted them in my large pots with peat moss based soil, they began to grow in no time. I have other plant in Coir as well and not good results. I won’t use it again!
