Sourced from the fibrous husk of coconuts, Mati Cocopeat is a 100% Organic and a renewable resource that has excellent aeration properties, prevents soil compaction and increases the carbon content of the soil. Should be used together with soil and other amendments except in the case of seed germination where it is recommended to use on its own.
Coco peat enhances the porosity of potting mixes, promoting loose and airy soil conducive to robust root development, thereby fostering superior plant growth and increased yields.
Moreover, by boosting both porosity and water retention capacity, coco peat prevents issues of overwatering or underwatering, ensuring optimal moisture levels for plant health.
The combination of high porosity, water retention, and cation exchange capacity allows for minimal coco peat usage per plant.
As a forgiving hydroponic medium, coco peat's organic nature grants it a high Cation Exchange Capacity, facilitating nutrient absorption and release tailored to plant requirements.
In contrast to peat, coco peat is easily rehydrated, swiftly absorbing water due to its hydrophilic properties, simplifying its application.
Containing natural trichoderma, coco peat acts as a bio agent against harmful pathogens while fostering a favorable environment for beneficial fungi and bacteria.
Furthermore, coco peat's versatility allows it to be molded into various shapes and sizes tailored to different growing needs.
When combined with coconut husk chips, coco peat retains its advantages while enhancing drainage within the mix.
