Coco Peat
Coco peat, also known as coconut fiber, coir fiber, or coir, is a natural growing medium derived from coconut husks. Initially considered waste during coconut fiber extraction, it has evolved into a valuable resource. This non-fibrous, lightweight, spongy material is crafted from coconut husks. Through a meticulous process involving washing, machine drying, sieving, and removal of impurities, it becomes an eco-friendly, corky substance.
