What is coco peat ?

Coco peat, also known as coconut fibre, coir fibre, or coir, is a naturally growing media made from the husk of a coconut. As a co-product of coconut fibre extraction, it was previously considered a waste product. This plant material is made from coconut husk and is non-fibrous, spongy, lightweight, and corky. It is made from coconut husks and used for planting. As part of processing coconut husk, it is prewashed, machine dried, sieved, and removed from the sand and other contaminants. However, coco peat is also added to soil enhance its drainage properties. Also, it is used on its own as hydroponic growing medium. It is considered to be eco-friendly and a sustainable material.
