Coir Peat Product
Coconut Low EC
Cocopeat, or coconut peat, is a lightweight and porous growing medium derived from coconut fibers. It is popular in hydroponics due to its low electrical conductivity (EC), signifying minimal salt content. This characteristic is vital as it prevents soil salt accumulation, ensuring precise nutrient control for optimal plant growth in hydroponic systems.
Coir Peat High EC
Coir Peat High EC, with its elevated electrical conductivity (EC) due to higher salt levels, is well-suited as a bedding material. Despite the potential impact on plant growth, its higher EC makes it suitable for use as a bedding substrate. It is commonly employed for this purpose, leveraging its characteristics for bedding applications.
Coir Peat Brick
Backed by research from Indonesia’s leading university, our Coir Peat Bricks are engineered for hydroponic gardening. These compact bricks, when expanded with water, create a nutrient-rich medium suitable for a wide range of crops, catering to the specific needs of different climates.
Coir Block
Formulated based on the latest research findings, our Coir Block offers sustainable soil enrichment for hydroponic plants. Its exceptional water retention and aeration properties contribute to the development of robust root systems, ensuring adaptability to varying climatic conditions.
Growbag
In collaboration with experts from the top university in Indonesia, our Coir Growbags are specially designed for hydroponic cultivation. Ready-to-use and enriched with coir substrate, these bags provide an optimal environment for crops, adaptable to the nuances of different climates.
Single Bag
Designed with hydroponic expertise, our Single Bags provide a flexible solution for individual plant needs. Created to adapt and formulated precisely, these bags meet the quality standards essential for successful hydroponic gardening in any climate. Plus, they come packed with the nutrients your plants need to thrive!
Planterbags
Crafted based on the research insights of Indonesia’s top-ranked university, our Coir Planterbags are uniquely suited for hydroponic gardening. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these bags offer an ideal growing medium, carefully formulated to excel in diverse climates.
Coir Slab
A coir slab is an eco-friendly, efficient growing medium for various plants. Made from natural coconut coir fibers, these slabs are manually pressed, resulting in higher moisture content than machine-pressed grow bags. Coir slabs provide excellent drainage, aeration, and root support, making them versatile for horticulture and hydroponics.
General Questions
What is coir peat?
Coir peat, also known as coir pith or coir dust, is a sponge-like material obtained from coconut husks during the coir fiber extraction process. Recognized for its excellent water retention and aeration properties, coir peat can hold up to ten times its weight in water while ensuring good soil ventilation. pH-neutral and lightweight, it is easy to handle and suitable for a variety of plants with different pH preferences. Being renewable and biodegradable, coir peat is environmentally friendly and finds use as a soil amendment to enhance structure and moisture retention. Commonly employed in seed starting mixes and potting soils, coir peat contributes to sustainable and effective gardening practices.
What is coir peat made out of?
Coir peat is made from the middle layer of coconut husks, known as coir pith or coir dust. After extracting coir fiber from the husks, the remaining coir pith undergoes processing, including washing and sieving, to create coir peat. This material, rich in fibers, is then often compressed into blocks for easy use. Widely appreciated for its water retention and aeration capabilities, coir peat serves as a valuable and sustainable substrate in agriculture and horticulture.
Is coir better than compost?
The choice between coir and compost depends on specific plant needs. Coir retains water well and provides good aeration, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive plants. It is pH neutral and renewable. Compost is nutrient-rich, improves soil structure, and supports microbial diversity. Choosing between them depends on factors like water requirements, nutrient needs, and environmental considerations. Some gardeners use a mix of both for a balanced approach.
Is coir better than potting soil?
The choice between coir and potting soil depends on plant needs. Coir retains water well and offers good aeration, suitable for moisture-sensitive plants. It’s pH neutral and sustainable. Potting soil provides nutrients and improves soil structure, catering to various plant types. Gardeners often use a blend or choose based on specific plant requirements.
