What is Coco Peat?
Table of Contents
Coco peat is also known as coir pith, coir fibre pith, coir dust, or simply coir, is made from coconut husks, which are by products of other industries that use coconuts.
Coir waste from coir fiber industries is washed, heat-treated, screened and graded before being processed into coco peat products of various granularity and denseness, which are then used for horticultural and agricultural applications and as industrial absorbent. A single kilogram of coco peat block will expand to 7-14 litres of moist coco peat.
