•COMPARISION:

Cocopeat over Soil:

Plants grow faster and healthier in cocopeat than in

the soil. Cocopeat is fluffy and absorbs water very
well just like a sponge. So it provides plenty of
aeration & water to the plant's roots helping them
grow faster, stronger and healthier.

Retains nutrients & water for a long time and

supplies them whenever the plant requires.
No risk of soil borne diseases.

Plants develop healthier and stronger roots in

cocopeat than in the soil because cocopeat is light
and don't resist root growth.

Lightweight & generally sold as compressed

blocks, so it is possible to buy online.
