Coir Pith or Coco Peat is the byproduct extracted from the coconut husk after the fiber is removed. A product that was once burned as waste material, is used as a major component in potting soil due to it is high water and nutrient retention capacity, while also providing optimum aeration for the plants. The use of Coco peat has extensively grown over the past two decades as it is much more environmentally friendly than its alternative, the black peat.
