Frequently Asked Questions


Where does our coco peat come from?
Our coco peat is sourced from carefully selected de-fibering units close to our factory in the coconut triangle region of India.
What the differences are between washed, unwashed and buffered coco peat?
Unwashed coco peat is the natural raw form of the product, which has a higher EC level. Washed coco peat has been washed using clean, natural spring water to lower the EC level. Buffered coco peat (sometimes known as treated) has been treated to reduce the Potassium and Sodium Chloride levels, and to increase the Nitrogen level. It also has a lower EC level.
Supplies of Coco peat
Our factory is conveniently located close to several large de-fibering units, which have an ample scope for the supply of high-quality coir.
Does Coco Peat have high salt levels?
Many people have an image of coconut palms on beaches, and coco peat being washed in seawater lagoons. But our factory is located inland, (average elevation of 293 meters (961 feet) there is far less salt in the ground than in regions closer to the coast, meaning that the coco peat we use has a significantly lower level of Sodium Chloride. We only use fresh water to wash our clothes. We also take care to treat the coco peat when it is being used to grow plants that require a very low EC level.
How quickly does coco peat break down?
Because coco peat is natural, it is completely biodegradable. However, it retains its structure and absorbency for several years after planting, which means that the same coir can and is frequently used for several years. After use, it can be added to the ground as a soil conditioner without any adverse implications for the environment.
