Description.
Coco Peat or coir pith is one and the same product that is referred to by two different names in different countries. Coco Peat is a natural fibre made from coconut husks. The extraction of the coconut fibres from the husks produces the by-product Coco Peat in the form of dust, and it is a 100% natural growing medium.
Advantages and applications of Coco Peat: Coco Peat has numerous advantages in agriculture and horticulture. Some of them are found in potting soil, horticulture, seedling nursery beds, in gardens to save water, orchids, mushroom cultivation, plantation crops, etc.
• The main advantage is that the valuable nitrogen in Coco Peat is retained and that the moisture content is held, especially in potting soil for horticulture.
• Coco Peat is a multifunctional growing medium that is very easy to use. The high air-filled porosity and the high water-holding capacity make it the ideal medium for all plant cultivation applications.
• Coco peat is an excellent substrate for vegetable, fruit and cut flower cultivation. Coco Peat has many uses as an effective soil improver and soil-free substrate.
• Coco peat is an excellent substrate for root development; therefore, transplanting can be done directly into it without any further treatment or agent.
Compressed coconut coir or peat can expand to five or six times its original volume once dissolved with water. To avoid waste, only break off the amount you need.
