Coco Peat/Coir Pith 5Kg Block
Coco peat is a multi-purpose, 100% natural medium made from coconut husks. The fibrous coconut husk is pre-washed, machine-dried, sieved, and made free from sand and other contaminants, such as animal & plant residue. It is an excellent alternative to traditional Peat Moss and Rock wool. Its air-filled porosity & high-water holding capacity make it an ideal growing medium for the plant crops. It is 100% Organic and Eco-friendly, free from soil-borne pathogens and weeds. It has a pH of 5.5 - 6.7, and an E.C. level of < 1 mS/cm is ideal for plant growth.
