COCOPEAT
Cocopeat is a multi purpose 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 blocks are considered an ideal growing medium. The cocopeat powder thus obtained is sieved, washed, dried and finally compressed into blocks. The blocks can be used for a wide range of planting requirements. We also ensure secure packaging of the cocopeat blocks.
One kilogram of compressed cocopeat will expand to 15L of moist cocopeat. Cocopeat by itself does not have any nutrients for plant growth. Necessary nutrients will have to be added according to the plant that is to be grown exclusively in cocopeat. Cocopeat is also mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil. In horticulture, cocopeat is recommended as substitute for peat because it is free from bacteria and fungal spores and is produced without any environmental damage caused by peat mining.
COCONUT FIBER
Coconut fiber or coir is a product which is extracted from the outer shell of the coconut fruit. It is used in a variety of ways worldwide, being especially popular for rope and matting, and there are a number of sources for coir and coir products. Coir comes from a matted fibrous layer found between the inner and outer husks of the coconut. There are Two Types of coir Fiber. White coir Fiber and Brown Coir Fiber.
Brown Coir Fiber or Mattress Fiber is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, etc. Technically, coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture.
