Coco Peat is the dust and smaller pieces of fibre from coconut husk. It has high water retention capacity and is extremely light weight. Cocopeat is an excellent growing medium for home & lawn garden plants. It is widely used with potted plants & also it is one of the best media for seed germination. It improves aeration in the soil for optimal root growth while maintaining the ideal nutrient availability for plants.
It 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. Coco peat will do an excellent job of keeping your plants healthy, due to its antifungal properties. It is also resistant to mould, which in turn will help protect your plants from disease and decay as they grow. Microgreens are often grown directly in coco peat. It is also a very handy medium for seed germination.
