Our Coir Discs is developed using optimum quality coir pith and are specifically used to control the weeds from plant container and landscape plants. It has high water absorption capacity thus water can be saved by reducing evaporation from the soil media. Moreover, the coconut coir pith & coco coir peat Round Discs gives a rehydrated yield of one litre of soil per disk.
Coco discs consist of coarse coco material, which is made of the husk of the coconut. Cutting the husk creates an airy, easily manageable and powerful growing medium with good drainage properties. These discs are compressed for transport and expand to their original size after water is added.
Coco peat, also known as coir peat or coconut coir, is a natural byproduct derived from the processing of coconut husks. It is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss, often used in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture.
Description
Coco peat, also known as coir peat or coconut coir, is a natural byproduct derived from the processing of coconut husks. It is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss, often used in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture.
Growing Medium: Coco peat is widely used as a growing medium or soilless substrate for growing plants in containers, raised beds, and hydroponic systems. It has excellent water retention properties, holding up to 8-10 times its weight in water, while also providing good aeration and drainage for plant roots.
Soil Amendment: Coco peat can be mixed with garden soil or other growing media to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. It helps loosen compacted soils, increase moisture retention in sandy soils, and enhance drainage in clay soils, making it suitable for a wide range of soil types and plant species.
Seed Starting: Coco peat is ideal for starting seeds and propagating cuttings due to its light texture and ability to retain moisture. It provides a sterile and weed-free environment for seed germination, while also promoting healthy root development and reducing transplant shock.
Potting Mix Component: Coco peat is often used as a component of potting mixes and growing media for container plants, both indoors and outdoors. It helps maintain a consistent moisture level in pots and containers, reducing the frequency of watering and the risk of overwatering or underwater

Coco peat, also known as coir pith, is the fibrous material that is obtained from the outer husk of coconut shells. It is increasingly being used as a growing medium in horticulture and agriculture due to its many beneficial properties.
Coco peat is high in nutrients and organic matter, improves soil structure, water retention, and provides aeration to the soil so it is widely used for Soil amendment, Seed starting, Hydroponics, Potting mix and Animal bedding.

Coco peat is a natural, sustainable, and biodegradable growing medium made from coconut husks, primarily used in horticulture and agriculture. It's a versatile material used for seed germination, rooting, hydroponics, and soil improvement.
Detailed Description:
Origin:
Coco peat is the non-fibrous, spongy part of the coconut husk, a by-product of coconut fiber extraction.
Processing:
It undergoes a series of processes including washing, drying, sieving, and grading to ensure quality and suitability for different applications.
Forms:
Coco peat is available in various forms, including loose dust, pressed bricks, and briquettes, catering to different needs and preferences.
Properties:
It is lightweight, porous, and has a high water-holding capacity, making it ideal for promoting root growth and plant health.
Benefits:
Sustainable and Biodegradable: Coco peat is a natural and renewable resource that decomposes in the environment.
Excellent Water Retention: It can absorb and retain water, ensuring plants have access to adequate moisture.
Good Aeration: The porous structure allows for proper aeration of roots, promoting healthy growth.
Sterile and Weed-Free: Processing removes dirt, pathogens, and weeds, ensuring a clean and healthy growing environment.
Versatile: Used in hydroponics, seed germination, soil amendment, and as a potting mix component.
Applications:
Horticulture: Used in nurseries, greenhouses, and garden applications.
Agriculture: Used in soil improvement, crop production, and soilless farming.
Hydroponics: A popular substrate for growing plants without soil.
The Sri Lankan coconut coir and coir-based product manufacturers have been a major cottage industry in Sri Lanka for centuries. The unique technique is known as the drum system is used to extract fibre, producing long pure fibre, mostly suitable for the brush industry. It falls into two main categories; brown and white fibre, which contributes to 80% and 20% respectively of the world coir fibre demand.
