Coco peat is a renewable media. Coco peat increases the porosity of the potting mix. This helps to keep the soil loose and airy helping in better root growth. Better root growth results in better plant growth and higher yield.

Coco peat increases the water holding capacity of the potting mix even as it increases the porosity of the soil. This ensures that the plant does not suffer from overwatering or underwatering.

High porosity, high water holding capacity and high cation exchange capacity together mean that the quantity of coco peat required per plant can be very less.

Coco peat has excellent properties that make it a very forgiving hydroponic (soilless) medium. Being an organic medium it has high Cation Exchange Capacity allowing nutrients to be absorbed and released to the plants according to their need.

Unlike peat, coco peat is easy to rewet. Dry coco peat is very hydrophilic and quickly absorbs water making it easy to use. Coco peat can be pressed into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all growing applications. Coco peat mixed with coconut husk chips provides all the advantages of coco peat while increasing the drainage of the mix.
