Cocopeat, also known as coir pith, is a natural byproduct derived from coconut husks. It is produced by processing coir waste from fiber industries, which involves washing, heat treatment, screening, and grading to achieve various granularities and densities. This eco-friendly material is widely used in horticulture and agriculture due to its excellent water retention capabilities, allowing it to hold up to 15 times its weight in water. Additionally, cocopeat has a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5, making it suitable for a wide variety of plants.

Beyond its horticultural applications, cocopeat serves as an effective soil additive, enhancing aeration and promoting healthy root development. Its porous structure ensures optimal drainage while maintaining adequate moisture levels, reducing the frequency of watering. Moreover, cocopeat is free from harmful bacteria and most fungal spores, providing a sterile medium for seed germination and plant growth. Its sustainable production from renewable coconut resources makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional peat moss.
