What is Coco Peat?
Derived from coconut husk, coco peat is a growing medium similar to sphagnum peat(peat moss), but with the added advantage of being a renewable resource! 
Coco peat, also called coco pith or coir dust, provides an alternative to potting soil, featuring high water retention, good aeration and antifungal benefits. Coco peat is not only a natural, organic product, but also a renewable one with a slightly acidic pH that most plants prefer to grow in. It is emerging as the top contender for soil-less gardening, horticulture, hydroponics, tissue cultures and agriculture.
 
Benefits of Coco Peat:

• Increases the porosity of soil making it loose and airy- helps in better root growth.
• Increases the water-holding capacity of soil,reducing risk of over-watering or under-watering, by draining out excess water.
• Reduces the frequency of watering by a one-eighth the normal requirement.
• High Cation Exchange Capacity allowseasy absorption & release of nutrients to plants.
• It is slightly acidic in nature which is a preferable condition for most plants to grow in.
• Unlike peat moss, coco peat is very easy to rewet (hydrophilic nature).
• Unlike inorganic medium such as perlite, vermiculite or rock wool, coco peat can be compressed to one fifth or less of its volume reducing transportation, storage and handling costs.
• Coco Peat contains natural Trichoderma which acts as a Bio agent against harmful pathogens.
• Unlike peat moss, coco-peat is a renewable media.
• Perfect medium for easy growth of saplings/ seedlings and vegetative propagation.
• Economical use of fertilizer is possible as coco peat increases its effectiveness.
• Coco peat provides a great environment for beneficial fungi & bacteria to grow.
• Keeps the plants free from harmful fungi and keeps the root diseases at bay.
• Supresses the growth of weeds by acting as mulch.
• It can be used individually or to prepare potting mixes in combination with other components.
• It is lightweight, and beneficial for hanging planters, locations with limited load capacity, etc.
