COIR Bricks

A 600 gm low EC (Electrical Conductivity) cocopeat brick is a compact, lightweight block made from the finely ground husk of coconuts. Specially processed to have a low EC level (below 0.5 mS/cm), this product ensures minimal salt content, making it ideal for sensitive plants and various horticultural uses. When hydrated, this brick expands to produce 8-10 liters of light, fluffy growing medium with excellent water retention and aeration properties. The natural pH range of 5.5 to 6.8 provides a favorable environment for root development, while the uniform particle size ensures optimal drainage and air circulation.

This type of cocopeat is free from harmful pathogens and weed seeds, thanks to thorough washing and possible heat treatment during production. It is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it an excellent sustainable alternative to traditional peat. The 600 gm low EC cocopeat is perfect for seed starting, potting mixes, and hydroponics, where precise control over nutrients and moisture is critical. For enhanced performance, it can be mixed with organic fertilizers or soil amendments as required.
