Contact SupplierCoco peat is the 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' produced as a bi-product during the extraction of coir fiber from husk. Coco peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and surface mulchrooting medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges, that absorb and hold up to eight times it's own weight in water. The natural ph of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high caption exchange capacity - and easy available water assures that coir will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods without additional watering. The coir pith is cleaned and sieved before it is compressed . For easy transportation and usage it is compressed into a 650 gm briquette or a 5 kg block.
