COCOPEAT
WHY COCOPEAT ?
Coco peat, also known as coir peat or coir fiber pith, is a growing medium made from the fibrous material found between the outer husk and the hard inner shell of coconuts.
It is an alternative to traditional peat moss and is often used in commercial horticulture, hydroponics, and home gardening. It is a very good substrate for growing different seedlings in an effective and efficient way.
Coco peat is prized for its high water-holding capacity, good air-filled porosity, and natural pH balance. It is also renewable and sustainable, as the raw material can be harvested from coconut husks that would otherwise be discarded as waste.
Additionally, coco peat is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional peat moss, as it does not require the destruction of peat bogs.
