Cocopeat, also known as coir pith, is a natural byproduct of coconut husk. It is a sustainable, eco-friendly material widely used in horticulture and agriculture. Cocopeat is a lightweight, spongy, and absorbent substance that retains water efficiently, making it ideal for soil conditioning and plant growth.
This versatile product can be used as a growing medium for plants, as a soil amendment to improve aeration and water retention, or as a component in hydroponic systems. Cocopeat is rich in essential nutrients, is pH-neutral, and free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for both plants and the environment. It is available in compressed blocks, bricks, or loose form, which expand when mixed with water.
Due to its high water retention and excellent drainage properties, cocopeat is commonly used in potting mixes, greenhouses, and for various indoor and outdoor plants. It is an eco-friendly alternative to peat moss and other soil conditioners, contributing to sustainability by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and harmful soil depletion practices.
