COCO PEAT it

Coco peat is the next best thing since sliced bread, at least in the gardening industry.
Coco peat comes from the pith of a coconut, and what was once a recycled useless product, has come to gain the reputation as a soil conditioner and a better option as a potting soil, even for hydroponic gardens.
Coco peat is environmentally friendly and can be reused after a rinse and strain, which can’t be done with many growing mediums. Potting soils are easily available and found in many varieties, however, there are a lot of drawbacks that come with it, such as pour drainage or uneven distribution of water and nutrients, composites that haven’t fully broken down, and the possibility of carrying either pests or diseases.
Coco peat on the other hand retains moisture and nutrients and releases it evenly and slowly throughout the root system and has natural antifungal properties, so there are no pathogens found in this medium. Microbes are better established and the coco peat medium does not compact to help aerate the soil for better oxygen intake to the roots.
Coco peat should not be mistaken for coco coir, as they are part of the same family, coco coir however is used similar to peat moss, comes in bricks that need to be hydrated in order to be used as a medium, and does not hold moisture evenly as the consistency is very fibrous.
When looking for premium potting soil, we look for good aeration, holds moisture, and drains well. By mixing coco peat and perlite together, you have created a super medium for your plants and they will thank you for it with lush and healthy growth.
