Coco Peat
Cocopeat is a multi-purpose growing medium made out of coconut husk. The fibrous coconut husk is pre washed, machine dried, sieved and made free from sand and other contaminations such as animal and plant residue. Cocopeat is a very good alternative to traditional peat moss and Rock wool. Its air filled porosity and high water holding capacity makes it, an ideal growing medium for the plant crops. It is 100% organic and eco-friendly free from soil borne pathogen and weed. It has a pH of 5.7 - 6.5, EC level mS/cm is ideal for plant growth.
Coco Peat is not "peat" at all, but when processed into growing medium, is similar in appearance and function to "peat moss." Peat moss is extracted from peat bogs that release billions of tons of greenhouse gasses per year, and take 1000's of years to renew Whereas Coco Peat is a sustainable, renewable resource that is revolutionizing agriculture around the globe.
Fine Coco Fibers act like tiny capillaries that help evenly distribute moisture and nutrients throughout the Coco Peat mixture.
- Helps aerate the growing media.
- Facilitates the movement of water and nutrients more uniformly through the medium.
- Keeps moisture level constant within containers, avoiding harmful dry spots When used as a soil enhancer, avoids compression in clay soils.
- Helps hold moisture when added as an enhancement to sandy soils.
"To ensure the sustainability and stability to the environment
We prefer SC recommend Coco peat as media for potting soil, substrate & other growing medias"
