Coco Peat or Coir Pith

Coco peat (coco peat), also known as coir pith. Coir Fibre pith, coir dust, or simply coir, is made from coconut husks, which are byproducts of other industries that use coconuts. Coco peat primarily consists of the coir Fibre pith or coir dust which is obtained by processing coconut husk and removing the long fibers.

How to Grow Plants in Coco Peat

Processed coconut fibers are the byproduct of the coconut industry which, without its usefulness to gardeners, would otherwise be disposed of. As a growing medium similar to sphagnum peat, coco peat, also called coir or coir dust, provides an alternative to potting soil featuring high water retention, suitable aeration and antifungal benefits. Coco peat is not only a natural, often organic product, but also a renewable one with a slightly acidic pH that many plants prefer to grow in.

Tip
Don't throw away old coir used in planters. Dig it into your garden to condition the soil.

All seedlings benefit from hardening off, whether they are planted in coir or not. To harden off a plant, set it outside in a protected area for one week prior to transplanting. Bring it inside at night or if a frost is expected.
