Cocopeat, also known as coir pith, is a natural growing medium derived from coconut husks. This fibrous material is a byproduct of coir fiber extraction and has gained immense popularity in horticulture due to its unique properties. It’s a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional peat moss.

Its primary benefit lies in its exceptional water retention capacity, holding several times its weight in water. Despite this, cocopeat also provides excellent aeration, crucial for healthy root development by preventing waterlogging and ensuring oxygen supply. This balance makes it ideal for a wide range of plants.

Cocopeat is also valued for its stable, near-neutral pH and high cation exchange capacity, allowing it to store and release nutrients efficiently. Being renewable and biodegradable, it’s a responsible choice for modern gardening, improving soil structure and promoting microbial activity.
