COCO PEAT is an ideal multi-purpose growing medium made by compressing broken down pith inside the coconut husk. The fibrous coconut husk is pre-washed, machine-dried, sieved and made sterile & free from sand, dirt, gravel and other contamination such as animal and plant residue, soil-borne pathogens and weeds.
It has low EC and a pH range of 5.7-6.5. The block has a cubical structure. This is an ergonomic design that helps to hold and carry the material easily. It is odourless and pleasant to handle. Weight of each block is between 4 to 5 kg, varying on climate condition and compressed ratio. It expands to up to 70L of coco peat powder. We provide pure quality product of natural appearance and long shelf life.
