Coir Peat Brick
Coir peat brick, also known as coconut coir brick or coir block, is a compressed block of coconut coir fibers. Coconut coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. It is a natural and renewable resource.
The coir peat brick is created by compressing and dehydrating coconut coir fibers into a compact block. These bricks are popular in horticulture and gardening for various purposes, particularly as a growing medium and soil amendment. They are widely used as a sustainable alternative to traditional peat moss.
Used For
Hydroponics
In hydroponic systems, coir peat can be used as a growing medium. Its ability to hold water and provide support for plant roots makes it suitable for soilless cultivation methods.
Growing Medium
Coir peat bricks serve as an excellent growing medium for plants. When hydrated, the coir expands and becomes a lightweight, well-aerated substrate with good water retention properties. This makes it suitable for seed starting, transplanting, and growing a wide range of plants.
Potting Mix Component
Coir peat is commonly used as a component in potting mixes for container gardening. It contributes to the overall structure of the mix, helping to maintain a well-draining yet moisture-retaining environment for potted plants.
Mulching
Coir peat can be spread as a mulch around plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. It forms a protective layer on the soil surface.

How To Use
01
Take the Coir Brick and place it in a large container or bucket.
02
Pour 4-5 liters of water over the Coir Brick, ensuring it is fully submerged. Allow it to soak and absorb the water for approximately 30 minutes.
03
Once the Coir Brick has absorbed the water, you will notice it expanding. Use your hands to fluff and separate the coir fibers. This step is important to ensure a well-aerated and loose growing medium.
04
Now that the coir has expanded and fluffed, you can use it as a growing medium for your plants. Fill your pots or planting containers with the hydrated and expanded coir, providing a healthy environment for your plants to grow.
