Coco Peat - SITCO
What Is Coco Peat ?
Coco Peat is the non-fibrous, spongy, light weight, corky material that holds together the coir fibre in coconut husk. It was in early 90’s that the horticultural use of coco peat was discovered and the material demand has been in the rise ever since.
The main characteristics of coco peat that makes it ideal for hydroponics and horticultural purposes are

Why Coco Peat :
Thanks to the spongy structure, coco peat is very good at holding moisture and nutrients in its pores and release them to the plant roots as and when they need it, there by preventing the leaching of valuable nutrients and fertilisers out of the substrate.
There is this notion among growers that Coco Peat has high salt content. Yes, it does, in its natural form. Coco peat, being extracted from the coconut husks, are greatly affected by the soil conditions of the area from where they are being harvested. Coconut being naturally occurring in abundant along the sea shores, generally in soil with high salt content, coco peat in its natural form will be high in salt content.
At Fibre Family, we source the coconut husk only from plantations grown in-land, completely from in-and-around the Coconut City of Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. The selection of coconut husk and our processing methodology contributes greatly towards lowering the salt content in our coco peat. For comparison, when the EC of fresh coco peat generally reads from 2 to 3 mS/cm, the EC of our non-processed, fresh coco peat is as low as 1.3-1.5 mS/cm. We then wash the coco peat in fresh water to lower the salt content even further below 0.5 mS/cm, there-by making it ideal for the growth of plants.
