Why is Coco Peat
Thanks to the spongy characters, the coco peat is an incredible option of holding moisture and nutrition in its pores and release them to plant roots. Coco peat prevents leaching valuable nutrition and fertilizers out of the substrates.
Listed below are the key features of coco peats.
- The best peat moss alternative.
- High cation exchange ensures that nutrients are easily absorbed by the plant roots.
- The top layer of the substrate dries fast, significantly lowering the chance of fungal infections.
- While the top layer is dry, the rest of the substrate remains wet because of the water holding capacity of approximately 40%.
- Coir retains some good microorganisms, such as Trichoderma fungus, and protects the plants against harmful pests, weeds, and bacteria.
- Coir can hold 8 to 9 times its own weight in water.
- Coir deteriorates very slowly and can be reused for many cultivation cycles.
- Coir substrate doesn’t shrink or crack.
- Coir is 100% renewable and doesn’t contribute to deforestation.
- You can control the nutrients, pH, EC, and amount of water your plants experience.
