Product Description
Coconut coir peat used in agriculture fields:
Coir pith/coco peat obtained from Coconut HuskCoco chips- prepared from the outer shell of the coconut used as media in growing plantsCoco fiber- used as mulchCoco fiber planter- coconut fiber is compressed into various containers to grow plants. Ex. Hanging baskets, pots
Cocopeat, also known as coir pith, is a spongy material that binds the coconut fiber in the coconut husk. It is a natural and organic media. Its applications in the Agri-Horti fields are increasing due to its excellent soil conditioning properties.
Due to its high moisture retention capacity, it is extensively used as a growing medium in nurseries for the production of seedlings, growing of orchids and anthuriums.
How to identify high-quality Cocopeat
Within Cocopeat, there are different qualities. The superior grades which have low EC, low moisture, and little fibre cater to export markets. Ideally, Cocopeat should have low EC, low fiber content, pH suitable to needs of the root zone, i.e., 5.5 to 6.5, good expansion ratio (upwards of 1:15).
If your use case for Cocopeat is in Hydroponics or for seed germination alone, you can even go for one grade higher version of cocopeat which is known as Buffered Cocopeat. Buffered Cocopeat is cocopeat which is enriched using either Calcium, or Magnesium or both. The buffered cocopeat has even lesser EC and gives great results during seed germination.
How to prepare grow media with Cocopeat
Break the cocopeat block with water and bring it to powder form by mixing it well. Ensure the addition of the right amount of water (should not be too wet or too dry).
Take a large tub or container. Remove the shrink-wrap and place the cocopeat brick in the tub.Add approx. 25 litres of water and wait for 10 minutes. Let the brick absorb water and expand naturally.Mix the Cocopeat with your hands now. Blocks should break easily. Add water if needed.
Now add this Cocopeat to soil or add some other inert media to Cocopeat before using it. The reason for same is explained in point No. 3 below.
Can Cocopeat be used to grow all kind of plants
Yes. All Kinds of plants can be grown in this media. Be it flowers, or succulents, or leafy greens, or vegetables, or root crops, or even medicinal herbs. We have used coco peat to grow many of these plants. We have even grown tall crops like Corn and Sugarcane in Cocopeat.
The easiest and most straightforward way to get rid of all soil-related troubles is to use coco peat. And the availability and affordability make it a very convenient option for any avid gardener! So take heart- try with one type of plant- and you will see how easily it vouches for itself with the way the plants grow in this medium as well as with the ease of the method of growing it!x
