• Coco Peat or Coir Pith is the binding material that is produced as a bi-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk.
• Coco Peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium.
• It is used in Horticultural and Agricultural applications.
• It is a completely homogenous organic material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges that absorb and hold up to 8-10 times its own weight in water.
• The natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high Cation Exchange Capacity - and 27% of Easily Available Water assures that the Coco Peat will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods of time without re-watering.

Coco Peat is a pure and natural, eco-friendly, bio-degradable, 100 % organic and renewable multi-purpose growing medium made out of coconut husk. Processed Coco Peat is free from contaminants such as weed seeds, pests and insects, pathogens, and resistant to bacterial and fungal growth and root rot, and therefore ideal for garden crops. It is recommended for seed starting, bedding plants, container growing, seedling nurseries, green roofs/terrace gardens, tissue culture, hydroponics,  floriculture (especially roses and seasonal flowers), home and interior gardens, ornamental plants, horticulture, greenhouses, vegetables (especially tomatoes), mushroom cultivation, potting mixes, soil-less growing mixes, etc. 

Greenfield Coir Peat is packed in a completely safe and non-toxic environment. We assure our customers 100% satisfaction. This fibrous, spongy, light weight, double-washed, screened, low EC (< 0.5 dSm^-1) growing media is:

• An ideal soil re-conditioner, soil structure improver and soil substrate with excellent water holding capacity; provides a buffer in high temperatures and high crop demand.
• Keeps the soil and potting mixes loose and more aerated, thereby helping soil to retain moisture for longer time and enabling vigorous root and plant growth.
• Porous and cannot be overwatered easily so it provides good drainage, required potassium and increased nitrogen supplementation to plants.
• Has high cellulose and lignin content; ideal for growing mushroom which thrive on the cellulose.
• Has low pH (5.7 – 6.5) and low EC (< 0.5 dSm^-1); therefore ideal for most crops.
• A good alternative for peat moss, rock-wool and perlite media.
• Moisture retention qualities make it ideal for growing anthuriums and orchids.

APPLICATION OF COCO PEAT IS RECOMMENDED IN

• Hydroponics,
• Golf course greens,
• Potting mixes,
• Soil-less growing mixes,
• Cut flowers,
• Propagating,
• Re-planting,
• Mushroom cultivation,
• Bonsai mixes,
• Turf farming,
• Garden beds,
• Bedding medium for earth worms,
• Vegetable gardens,
• Rose cultivation and
• General garden uses.

1. As a Potting Mix. Coco Peat can be used as potting medium. It can be mixed with required fertilizers and nutrients according to the type of plants to be grown.

2. For Mushroom Cultivation. Coco Peat is being used by mushroom growers around the world for the large scale production of edible mushrooms.

3. As a Soil Supplement. Re-hydrated Coco Peat mixed with soil improves water holding capacity and aeration.

4. For Germinating Seeds. Coco Peat in starter containers speeds up germination and profuse rooting of the seedlings.

5. For Tissue Culture Plants. Wetted Coco Peat in poly bags encourage initial growth phase of tissue cultured plants and grafted seedlings.
