With a 5kg mass, the Organic Coconut Fiber Block expands into 60 to 75 liters of substrate. Under hydration, 100% coconut husk fibers maintain a pH between 5.5 and 6.8. It improves drainage in heavy clay or supports hydroponic systems.
Key Features
- Expansion Volume: 60-75L yield from a 5kg compressed block. Fills several large pots from one unit.
- Electrical Conductivity: Levels remain under 0.5 mS/cm in the fibers. Prevents salt burn in sensitive root systems.
- Water Retention: Absorbs up to 800% of its dry weight. Reduces watering frequency during high humidity.
- Compression Ratio: 5:1 density expands 15 times in total volume. Saves storage space before hydration.
- Biodegradable Husk: 100% organic coconut fibers with zero synthetic additives. Decomposes naturally after several years of use.
- pH Balance: Acidic levels between 5.5 and 6.8 during saturation. Stabilizes nutrient uptake for flowering plants.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much water is needed for 5kg cocopeat block?
Add 20 to 25 liters of water to trigger full expansion. The block reaches its 75L capacity in roughly 30 minutes.
Is coconut fiber good for all plants?
The neutral pH suits most vegetables, orchids, and succulents. High aeration prevents root rot in water-sensitive species.
