Because of its sponge-like structure, coco peat retains water while encouraging proper drainage, preventing root rot and other water-related problems.
Coco peat's diverse particle structure promotes healthy airflow and helps avoid soil compaction, which can be harmful to plant growth.
Because of its inherent antifungal qualities, coco peat can help stop dangerous fungus from growing in your soil.
Additionally, the high nutrient retention qualities of coco peat allow it to retain and release nutrients to your plants over time.
Compared to other soil additives like peat moss or vermiculite, goods made from coco peat can hold their structure and water-retention qualities for a longer amount of time.
Coco peat is pH neutral, so it won't change the acidity or alkalinity of your soil like peat moss does. Because of this, it can be used with a variety of plants.
