Benefits of Cocopeat

1. Excellent Water Retention

Cocopeat retains water exceptionally well, holding up to ten times its weight in moisture. This characteristic makes it perfect for maintaining optimal soil moisture levels, which is essential for healthy plant growth. Its porous structure promotes good aeration while preventing waterlogging, thereby supporting robust root development.

2. Nutrient Availability

Although cocopeat contains low nutrient levels, its high cation exchange capacity (CEC) enables it to effectively retain and release nutrients. This quality makes cocopeat an excellent choice for potting mixes when combined with fertilizers or other nutrient-rich materials.

3. Environmentally Friendly

It presents a more sustainable alternative to peat moss, which comes from non-renewable bogs. As a byproduct of coconut processing, it  helps minimize the environmental impact associated with traditional growing mediums.

Types of Cocopeat

Fine Granulation

this product with fine granulation works well for planting seedlings and serves as an excellent substrate.

Medium Granularity

Cocopeat with medium granularity suits all types of hydroponic crops, providing the necessary support and moisture retention.

Coco Chips (Coarse Granulation)

Coco chips feature a coarse granulation ranging from 1 to 3 cm and originate from coconut shells. This type is ideal for plants that require larger beds, such as cut flowers like lilies and roses.
