Cocopeat blocks are considered an ideal growing medium. The cocopeat powder thus obtained is sieved, washed, dried and finally compressed into blocks. The blocks can be used for a wide range of planting requirements. Coir is known for its natural rooting hormones and anti-fungal properties.
We also ensure secure packaging of the cocopeat blocks. The blocks are stretch wrapped and strapped. We also customise the packing on client request. Normally they come in 650 grams bricks and small bales of five kilo and ten kilo blocks. Green Roots Overseas are the leading coir peat suppliers in India with an enviable track record.
It is an excellent growing medium for hydroponics or container plant growing. Coir has natural rooting hormones and anti-fungal properties. As the leading coir peat suppliers we ensure that you get the best of products with quality services.
Coco peat is also known as coco pith. This peat is a by-product of coco fibre. In coco fibre extraction the so called pulp or covering of husk over the coconut is called the fibre. This fibre is used for many applications in various industrial products. While removing this covering or husk which contains the pith attached with the fibre we get two products namely the coir fibre and the coco peat or pith. This pith appears like saw dust. These coco peat are compressed into blocks called coco peat bricks, making it convenient for transporting.
