Coco Peat Product Specification and Summary for Horticulture

Product Description:

Coco peat, or coir pith, is a renewable, eco-friendly growing medium derived
from coconut husk fibers, widely used in horticulture for its excellent waterholding capacity, high porosity, and good aeration. It is especially valuable in
soilless cultivation systems like hydroponics, container gardening, and
greenhouse production. This medium provides an ideal environment for root
growth, improves soil structure, and promotes healthy plant development. Due
to its high organic content, coco peat is a sustainable choice that is
biodegradable and supports various applications in horticulture
