Coco Peat isn't exactly like "peat" moss, but it works well as a
substitute when processed. Peat bogs cause significant environmental
damage by releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases and take
thousands of years to renew. Coco Peat is a sustainable, renewable
resource transforming agriculture globally.
Sugan Fibre's Coco Peat undergoes an extra step - washed four
times in fresh water - making it more efficient.
The powdery pith is collected, dried, aged, sieved, and compressed
for shipping.
India, rich in resources, notably coconuts, ranks third in
production globally. Its tropical climate fosters abundant
coconut tree growth, yielding ample coir fiber. Coconuts,
revered as "Kalpavriksha," offer both immature (pale) and
mature (yellowish) coir. Brown coir from mature, yellow from
younger, used for ropes, cushions, and more.
traditional and eco-friendly, maintains soil, absorbs water,
resists heat. Coir geotextiles are biodegradable, aid seed
germination. Coir waste, called peat, serves as fertilizer and
mulch. India's holistic use of coconuts is remarkable!
Sugun Fibres Coco Peat products are quite distinct from others
in the market due to being formulated by plant scientists who
are also growers - the design of our tailored Coconut Coir
blend is inspired by top-notch crop production methods. We
take pride in the ability to customize this multifunctional
growth media for professional farming, hydroponics and
consumer use, while stimulating economic growth in local
communities where it is derived from.
The leftover powder from the coconut husk is called coco pith,
also known as Coco Peat. It comes in compressed blocks with a
pH level ideal for growing, unlike acidic peat moss. Coco Peat
is lightweight, non-clumping, and supports root development
with consistent moisture and oxygen.
It doesn't smell bad, drains well, lasts up to 5 years, and
releases nutrients slowly when watered.
Hydroponic systems and small grow bags use it exclusively,
while outdoor plants use it as mulch. It's popular for
in-ground gardens due to easy rewetting. Sugan Fibers' Grow
Sure blocks are 100% Coco Pith, producing fluffy Coco Pith
when hydrated.
Tiny capillaries like those in coco fiber help coco peat
retain moisture and spread nutrients. Unlike coarser coco
fiber used for brooms, these fibers look like clusters of fine
roots.
To get the best results, gently separate and spread them in
the rehydrated mix.
This aerates the growing media, letting water and nutrients
move evenly. It keeps container moisture consistent,
preventing dry spots. Also, as a soil enhancer, it prevents
compression in clay and holds moisture in sandy soil.
Coco Chips and Coco Shreds excel in oxygenation and moisture
retention without rewetting. Also called "Coco Fractions" or
Coco Nuggets, they outperform peat moss by absorbing moisture
without wetting agents.
Their chunky shape creates air pockets and maintains steady
moisture/nutrient release.
Sugan Fibre's Coco Pith and Coco Fractions blend eliminates
the need for other additives like stones or perlite. Sugan
Fibre's Coco Husk products suit long-cycle container crops.
