Coco peat
Product Information
Coco peat, derived from coconut husks, is a versatile substrate primarily composed of coir fibre pith or coir dust, obtained by processing coconut husk and removing long fibres. It's renowned for its exceptional water retention capacity, making it an ideal replacement for traditional peat in soil mixtures or as a soil-less substrate for plant cultivation. With its organic composition, coco peat fosters robust root development, allowing for seamless transplanting directly into the substrate without additional treatments. Coco peat develops a high buffer capacity that will enable the plants to overcome a short time deficiency of fertilizers and water. Cultivating crops in coco peat substrate effectively prevents soil-borne diseases, particularly beneficial for vegetables and flower crops. Additionally, coco peat blocks, available in 5 kg blocks that expand to 25 kgs upon wetting, and coco peat powder in 25 kg bags are also offered, providing convenient options for various gardening needs.
