Description
Cocopeat brick manure
Key Features and Benefits:
Water Retention:
Cocopeat has excellent water-holding capacity, retaining moisture up to 8-10 times its weight. It ensures that plants stay hydrated for longer periods, reducing the frequency of watering.
Improves Soil Aeration:
When mixed with soil, cocopeat enhances aeration, ensuring that plant roots receive sufficient oxygen. This helps prevent soil compaction and promotes healthier root growth.
Environmentally Friendly:
100% natural and biodegradable, cocopeat is an eco-friendly alternative to peat moss. It is made from coconut husk, a renewable resource, making it a sustainable choice for gardening.
Neutral pH:
Cocopeat has a neutral pH (5.5-6.5), which is ideal for most plants. It helps maintain a balanced soil environment, promoting optimal nutrient absorption and plant health.
Enhanced Nutrient Retention:
Though cocopeat itself is low in nutrients, it has good cation exchange capacity, meaning it can hold and release nutrients efficiently when combined with fertilizers or compost.
Easy to Use:
This product comes in a compact, compressed brick form (500 g). Once soaked in water, it expands to several times its size, making it easy to handle and store.
How to Use:
Soak: Place the 500 g cocopeat brick in a large container and add about 4-5 liters of water. Allow it to soak for 15-20 minutes. The brick will expand and soften into loose cocopeat powder.
Mix: Once expanded, mix the cocopeat with garden soil, compost, or vermicompost to create a rich growing medium. You can also use it on its own as a potting mix for certain plants.
Application:
For potted plants: Use cocopeat as a component of your potting mix.
For seed starting: It’s an excellent medium for germinating seeds due to its fine texture and moisture retention.
For garden beds: Mix it with soil to improve its water retention and structure.
Applications:
Suitable for use in indoor and outdoor potted plants, vegetable gardens, flower beds, and seed germination trays.
Ideal for hydroponics and container gardening due to its water-holding and aeration properties.
Coverage:
A 500 g brick expands to approximately 6-8 liters of loose cocopeat when fully soaked, making it sufficient for multiple pots or a small garden bed.
Benefits for Plants:
Cocopeat helps in retaining moisture, reducing water stress in plants.
It improves soil texture, allowing plant roots to penetrate more easily and access nutrients.
It supports healthy plant growth by improving water and nutrient absorption efficiency.
