Cocopeat

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.

Advantage of cocopeat:

1. Excellent water retention properties. Cocopeat needs less watering (up to 65%) as compared to the peat moss. It holds water rather than shedding it like the traditional peat moss.
2. The rapid re-wet ablity and quick draining characteristic of Cocopeat also reduces the loss of nutrients through leaching.
3. The pH content of Cocopeat is neutral and slightly acidic, and is therefore very beneficial for plants.
4. The coconut peat is a better natural soil conditioner; it prevents the hardening of potting soil and increases soil porosity.
5. The coconut peat is resistant to bacterial, weed, fungal growth, and is truly pathogen free.
6. Naturally high lignin content promotes the development of favorable micro-organisms.
7. Cocopeat can be used as a soil less growth medium for hydroponics.
8. It is good both for indoor and outdoor use.
9. Cocopeat are entirely organic. There is no harmful effects on the environment when disposed of.
10. Cocopeat is physically stable and is very slow to disintegrate. It only begins to break down when it is 10 years old.
11. Cocopeat is reusable and recyclable for up to four years.
