Description 100% clean cocopeats used for vegetable nursery as well as for leaves-consumed green vegetables. Cocopeats are final raw materials of coconut husks in our production line after sieving to take out long fibers or short fibers. Specification Fiber length: Less than 2cm Impurities/Sand: 3% Max Weight: 5kg (+/- 3%) Moisture: 15-20% or 25 - 40% E.C: Low EC (For Plant Growth) < 0.5-0.8 ms/cm PH: 5.5 to 6.8
Cocopeat is the best environmentally friendly growing medium Cocopeat can be put into use in many areas such as in greenhouses, seedling nurseries, worm bedding, hydroponics (Growing medium), application in horticulture and floriculture, container gardening, etc. Cocopeat and coco-fiber are produced from coconut husk with an extraction machine. In the market, there are two types of cocopeat (Low Ec and High EC). Supplied from Vietnam, India, or Indonesia.
Cocopeat is a co-product of coconut fiber extraction process. It is a non-fibrous, spongy, lightweight and corky material that holds together the coir fiber in coconut husk. Depending on the electrical conductivity, our cocopeat is available in High EC and Low EC. High EC Cocopeat (unwashed) is commonly used in animal bedding farms due to its superior ability to absorb moisture and soft-bed cushioning properties. Our high EC cocopeat is free from fine dust particles and easy to lay and remove. It is also sterilized to prevent molds, pathogens and bad odor due to long term use. High EC Cocopeat has a relatively high salt content and hence it is not suitable to be used as growing mediums. Low EC Cocopeat (washed) is highly considered an ideal, multi-purpose growing medium in horticulture and floriculture due to its natural rooting hormones, antifungal properties and low salt content. It is an excellent alternative to traditional peat moss and rock wool not only because it is very easy to use and inherits all the characteristics of high quality growing mediums that can be used in a wide range of plants, but also 100% organic, renewable and produced without causing any environmental damage. Our low EC cocopeat is first sieved, washed, dried and finally compressed into blocks. Once expanded, one kilogram of compressed cocopeat is equivalent to 15 liters of moist cocopeat.
Cocopeat is a multipurpose growing medium made out of coconut husk. The fibrous coconut husk is pre washed, machine dried, sieved and made free from sand and other contaminations such as animal and plant residue. Cocopeat is a very good alternative to traditional peat moss and Rock wool. Its air-filled porosity and high-water holding capacity makes it, an ideal growing medium for the plant crops. It is 100% organic and eco-friendly, free from soil borne pathogen and weed. ADVANTAGES OF COCOPEAT Eco-friendly and Sustainable growing medium High moisture retention capacity High cation exchange capacity Improves soil aeration Improves soil buffering capacity Mostly tolerant to pH variations Can buffer water soluble nutrients COCOPEAT MANUFACTURING PROCESS 1. Coconut Husk Processing : Coconut husks are processed at our Coconut Fibre Mills to extract coir fibre, leaving behind the by-product a spongy material that binds the coconut fibre in the husk â?? the coco coir or the coco peat, the main raw material for the Coco Coir based Growing Medium. 2. Washing of Raw Cocopeat : Coir Pith is washed with fresh water to lower the electrical conductivity which is a measure of the salt content, so that plants roots can absorb water efficiently and effectively. 3. Drying of Washed Cocopeat : Wet Coir pith is then sun-dried in concrete yards to reduce the moisture content to the right value to achieve the required compaction. 4. Sorting : Dried Coir Pith are sorted based on their electrical conductivity and moisture level. 5. Sifting & Sieving : Sorted Coir Pith is sifted and sieved to remove the fine dust particles and extract the right sized grains as per the growing medium specification. 6. Compaction of Cocopeat : Substrate mixture is compacted in hydraulic presses to the required size as per clientâ??s requirement. 7. Pack & Dispatch : Packed as per the specifications (shrink wrapped with / without label or packed in cartons) and are then moved to our stock warehouse for palletising and shipment.
Coco peat brick is also known as coir pith or coir dust, it’s made from coconut husks. Coco peat primarily consists of the coir fiber pith or coir dust which is obtained by processing coconut husk and removing the long fibers. Planet Coco’s peat brick is low in EC and have very low salt content. Our Coco peat is aged and composted for over 18 months and thorough washed. Our one liter brick can be expanded up to 8 liters by adding 2 liters of water. 650 Bricks are a perfect size to handle and it’s the perfect size for home gardeners. Usage Environmentally-friendly & sustainable organic alternative to peat moss. Used in greenhouses, vertical gardens, landscaping & grow bags.
