Gardening with cocopeat is simple and rewarding. Cocopeat provides the perfect medium for both novice and experienced gardeners due to its lightweight and nutrient-rich properties.
Soak cocopeat bricks in water to expand them. Use clean, filtered water to avoid contaminants. Once hydrated, fluff the cocopeat to ensure an even texture.
For best results, mix cocopeat with compost, vermiculite, or perlite. This enhances its drainage and nutrient-retention capabilities.
Plant seeds directly in the cocopeat or mix. Ensure you cover the seeds lightly for optimal germination. Keep the medium consistently moist.
Cocopeat retains water well, so avoid overwatering. Check the moisture level regularly and water only when needed.
After a harvest, clean the cocopeat to remove old roots and debris. It can be reused for multiple growing cycles with proper care.
