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 coir chips or husk chips used as the growing medium for plants that need high air porosity.
Grade : Low ec and High Ec
Quality : S, SS and SSS sizes and crushed chips.
Coco peat, also known as coir peat or coconut coir, is a natural byproduct derived from the processing of coconut husks. It is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss, often used in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture.
Description
Coco peat, also known as coir peat or coconut coir, is a natural byproduct derived from the processing of coconut husks. It is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss, often used in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture.
Growing Medium: Coco peat is widely used as a growing medium or soilless substrate for growing plants in containers, raised beds, and hydroponic systems. It has excellent water retention properties, holding up to 8-10 times its weight in water, while also providing good aeration and drainage for plant roots.
Soil Amendment: Coco peat can be mixed with garden soil or other growing media to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. It helps loosen compacted soils, increase moisture retention in sandy soils, and enhance drainage in clay soils, making it suitable for a wide range of soil types and plant species.
Seed Starting: Coco peat is ideal for starting seeds and propagating cuttings due to its light texture and ability to retain moisture. It provides a sterile and weed-free environment for seed germination, while also promoting healthy root development and reducing transplant shock.
Potting Mix Component: Coco peat is often used as a component of potting mixes and growing media for container plants, both indoors and outdoors. It helps maintain a consistent moisture level in pots and containers, reducing the frequency of watering and the risk of overwatering or underwater

With every passing day, human beings are vouching for sustainable ways to get a life free of harmful chemicals and other toxic products. Hence, the coco peat or coco coir has gained massive popularity as a perfect growing medium in horticulture.
But there are several processes included in the coco coir treatment and without proper processing of the coco coir; it will create an imbalance in the proposition of calcium and magnesium in the soil. Among all the treatment processes, the buffering of coco coir is one of the main treatments done on the coco coir.
Buffering is a time-consuming process and it starts with proper flushing and rinsing of the coir with clean water. This extensive washing with clean water removes the water soluble particles. Once the process of washing with water is completed then the coir is rinsed well with a solution of calcium nitrate for a long time. This removes the residual Sodium-Potassium complex in the coir along with all the elements that bond easily with the coir cation exchange.
The process is repeated for three to four times to get fully cleaned and buffered coir that helps your plants to grow in a healthy way. There are several uses of buffered coir and it is not possible to list them all.
Hence, here are some best uses of buffered coir:
Used mainly for transplantation of tissue cultured plants from the beakers to a perfect medium prepared over a tray
Considered as one of the best-growing mediums in the Indian as well as International horticultural market
The buffered coir is also used for propagating the starting of seeds and plugs
