Coco peat is a lightweight, organic material made from coconut husk pith after coir fibers are removed.
- Material: spongy
- Holds 8â??10 times its weight in water,
- Near-neutral pH (5.5â??6.8).
- Used: growing medium, soil amendment, or hydroponic substrate, excellent water retention, aeration, and biodegradability.
Shapes: compressed bricks, it expands when hydrated and is low in nutrients
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

Coco peat block is also known as coir peat or coir dust, it's made from coconut husks. Coco peat primarily consists of the coir fiber peat or coir dust which is obtained by processing coconut chip and removing the long fibers. It is widely used as a growing medium in horticulture.
Our peat block is low in EC (electric conductivity) and have very low salt content. Coco peat is a sustainable replacement for traditional peat in soil mixtures, or it can be used as a soil-less substrate for plant cultivation.
Coco Peat manufactured in our factory is triple washed , sieved from other impurities and destoned. coco peat can be used as growing media (substrate) in hydrophonics.
COCO PEAT BLOCK is a compressed natural material produced from coconut husk. Due to its high-water absorption & air porosity property, it is often mixed with other components in growing media (Substrate) for sowing, propagation & pot mix preparation. It is widely delivering in standard 5 kg block.
A dry and uncompressed coco peat used as water/oil spill absorber & pet animal flooring.

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.
