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 soil is made from the pith inside a coconut husk. It is naturally anti-fungal, making it an excellent choice to start seed but it is also used in rugs, ropes, brushes, and as stuffing. Coco peat gardening is also used as a soil amendment, potting mix, and in hydroponic production.
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.
