📝 How to Use – Application Instructions
- Rehydrating Coco Peat: Place the coco peat block or powder in a large container. Add 3–4 litres of water per 500g. Allow it to absorb water for 15–20 minutes, then fluff with your hands to break up clumps. It will expand to several times its dry volume!
- Potting Mix: Mix coco peat with potting soil and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio for an ideal all-purpose potting mix with excellent drainage and moisture retention.
- Seed Germination: Use pure coco peat or a 50:50 mix with vermiculite as a seed-starting medium. Sow seeds, keep moist, and watch them germinate faster!
- Soil Amendment (Garden Beds): Mix 20–30% coco peat into existing garden soil to improve structure, drainage, and water retention.
- Hydroponics: Use rehydrated coco peat as a standalone growing medium in grow bags, pots, or hydroponic systems. Flush with water regularly to prevent salt buildup.
- Mulching: Spread a 2–3 cm layer of coco peat around the base of plants as mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
- Succulent and Cactus Mix: Mix coco peat with coarse sand and perlite (1:2:1) for a fast-draining mix perfect for succulents and cacti.
- Storage: Store unused coco peat in a sealed bag in a cool, dry place. Dry coco peat has an indefinite shelf life.
