What it is

What is cocopeat?

Cocopeat is the pith of the coconut husk, the cork-like particles that hold the fibres together. The terms cocopeat, coco peat, coir pith and cocopith all describe the same material.

It holds up to eight times its weight in water while staying airy, so roots get both moisture and oxygen. It is renewable, peat-free and pH-neutral.

Raw cocopeat contains salts, so it is washed in fresh water to a low EC before use. Buffered cocopeat is also treated with calcium for hydroponics.
