Cocopeat Bricks (Buffered) | 5kg is a high-grade, eco-friendly growing medium made from processed coconut husk fibers. Specially treated and buffered with calcium and magnesium to lower sodium and potassium levels, this 5kg block provides exceptional aeration, high water retention capacity, and an ideal pH level for seed germination, greenhouse cultivation, and container gardening.

Features

-Buffered formula treated with calcium and magnesium to prevent nutrient locking and root burn
-High expansion ratio yielding up to 60–75 liters of usable substrate per 5kg brick
-Excellent water retention capacity that holds moisture while maintaining high porosity for air flow
-Low EC (Electrical Conductivity) level suitable for sensitive seedlings and hydroponics
-100% organic, biodegradable, and sustainable soil amendment and growing medium

Benefits

-Promotes rapid, healthy root development through optimal air-to-water ratio
-Reduces watering frequency by retaining moisture efficiently in the root zone
-Prevents soil compaction and improves overall structure when mixed with garden soil
-Eliminates soil-borne pathogens, weed seeds, and harmful bacteria
