The Coconut Fiber Block 1 kg serves as a soilless growing medium for terrace gardening and hydroponics. This organic potting mix maintains a pH between 5.5 and 6.8 to support nutrient uptake. Each compressed unit expands up to 15 liters to fill multiple planters after hydration.
Key Features
- Water Retention: Absorbs 8 to 9 times its dry weight in liquid. Plants remain hydrated during high-heat periods without frequent manual watering.
- 100% Organic Material: Biodegradable coconut husk fibers without synthetic additives. This sustainable media improves soil aeration for faster root development.
- Natural Pathogen Resistance: High lignin content discourages the growth of soil-borne pests and fungi. Roots stay healthy in humid environments without chemical intervention.
- 5:1 Compression Ratio: 1 kg block expands to 11-15 liters of usable coir. One compact brick provides enough volume for several medium-sized pots.
- Low Salinity: Electrical conductivity remains below 0.5 mS/cm. Low salt concentration prevents nutrient lockout in sensitive seedlings and orchids.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much water is needed for 1kg coco peat block?
Add 4 to 5 liters of water to trigger full expansion of the 1 kg block. The material reaches its maximum 15-liter volume within minutes of soaking.
Is coconut fiber good for all plants?
The 5.5-6.8 pH range supports most vegetables, flowers, and indoor plants. Its high porosity prevents root rot during heavy rain or high humidity.
