Cocopeat blocks are compressed units of cocopeat that are easy to handle, transport, and store. When water is added, they expand to several times their original size, making them ideal for gardening, horticulture, and agricultural applications.

Cocopeat blocks are manufactured by first collecting coir dust from coconut husks. The dust is then washed to remove salts, dried, and compressed into blocks of various sizes and weights using hydraulic presses.

Cocopeat blocks offer several benefits, including excellent water retention, improved soil aeration, enhanced root growth, eco-friendliness, and a neutral pH. They are also lightweight and easy to handle.

Yes, cocopeat blocks are environmentally friendly. They are made from a renewable resource (coconut husks) and are biodegradable. Their use also helps reduce the waste produced by the coconut industry.

Cocopeat can be used as a sole growing medium or mixed with other materials like perlite, vermiculite, or compost to enhance its properties. It is suitable for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, flowers, and herbs.

To prepare cocopeat blocks, soak them in water for a few hours until they expand and break apart. Once fully hydrated, they can be used directly in pots, garden beds, or hydroponic systems.

Cocopeat blocks come in various sizes, typically ranging from 1 kg to 5 kg. The most common size is the 5 kg block, which expands to approximately 60-70 liters of cocopeat when hydrated.

Cocopeat blocks improve soil quality by enhancing water retention, increasing aeration, and promoting beneficial microbial activity. They also help in maintaining soil structure and preventing compaction.

Yes, cocopeat can be reused for several growing cycles. After each use, it should be properly cleaned and sterilized to remove any pathogens or pests before being reused.

Cocopeat blocks should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. They should be kept in their original packaging or covered to prevent contamination and moisture absorption.
