Coco Peat
Coco peat has a soil-like texture formed from coconut fiber and can replace soil as an organic growing medium. Therefore, it is commonly called coco peat soil or coco coir soil. ESE coco peat soil may be utilized in a variety of farming applications, including plantations and agriculture.
Here’s More to Know!
ESE serves bulk cocopeat that is offered in fine granule form. ESE manufactures bulk cocopeat in the form of sacks and polybags. The advantage of using coco peat is that it can be used as a planting medium, is good for plant cultivation (including flowers, hydroponics, and horticulture), and can be composted.

Type of Coco Peat
Coco peat contains electrical conductivity (EC). The electrical conductivity (EC) of coco peat refers to a measure of the ability to conduct electric current, indicating the amount of dissolved salts present in the material. There are two types, such as Low EC and High EC.
Low EC
Coco peat that contains a low EC has a lower amount of dissolved salt. Therefore, it is ideal for seedlings and young plants that are sensitive to high salt levels. Usually, low EC cocopeat is used for hydroponic processes because it can control nutrients well.
High EC
Coco peat that contains high EC has a higher amount of dissolved salt. Therefore, it is good for mature plants as they require higher nutrients. Usually, high EC cocopeat is used in soil-less farming systems that require high nutrients.

Type of Packaging
The three types of packaging include bags, plastic wrap, or loose bulk.
Kinds of Packaging | Definition |
Sack Packaging (Bulk Coco peat) | On the scales, sacks are prepared. Coco peat is put into bags until the desired weight is achieved. |
Polybag Packaging (Bulk Coco peat) | On the scales, polybags are prepared. Coco peat is put into polybags until the desired weight is achieved. ESE manufactures coco peat in polybags that measure 30 x 40 x 70 cm. |

Is cocopeat good for all plants?
Coco peat benefits plant growth, hydroponics, and composting, making it ideal for cultivation, flowers, and horticulture applications.
Can I replace coco peat by peat moss?
Coco peat is an alternative to peat moss, with lower acidity, suitable for various horticultural and gardening purposes.
Which is better coco peat or coco coir
The choice between coco peat and coco coir depends on specific gardening needs. Coco peat excels at water retention in growing media blends, enhancing moisture levels. In contrast, coco coir finds its niche as an additive in soil, pot production, and rope making, serving various horticultural and industrial applications effectively.
What is the difference between coco coir and coco chips?
Both are derived from coconut husks but have differences in texture and uses. Coco coir has a high water storage capacity and good aeration, making it an excellent growing medium for plants. Coco chips are known for their ability to maintain soil structure, improve aeration, and reduce soil compaction.
Can coco coir be reused?
Yes, coco coir can be reused. Reusing coco coir is a sustainable and eco-friendly practice that can save money and reduce waste. It should be thoroughly rinsed and sterilized before being used again as a growing medium or soil amendment.
