1. What Is Coco Peat?

Coco peat, also known as coir, coir dust or coco coir, is made from the husk of coconuts – a by-product of other coconut-based industries. Waste coir from coir factories is washed, heat-treated, screened and graded before being processed into coco peat products of different particle sizes and densities.

Coco peat is widely used for horticultural and agricultural applications as well as an industrial absorbent. It is usually shipped as compacted bales, cakes, blocks or loose bags. At the grower’s site, the material is expanded and aerated by adding water – 1 kg of coco peat typically expands to around 15 liters of moist coco peat.

As a soil conditioner and multi-purpose growing medium, coco peat is:

• 100% organic and eco-friendly
• Free from soil, stones and other hard impurities
• Recognized for high water holding capacity
• Known for excellent aeration and root-zone oxygenation

2. Product Overview – VinaTap 200L Low Compression Coco Peat Bag

The VinaTap Coco Peat 200L bag is a low-compression loose substrate made from premium coco peat. It is designed for growers who want a ready-to-use, easy-to-handle medium that does not require heavy expansion or complex preparation.

Each bag contains blended coco peat with a controlled ratio of peat and short fiber, providing a balanced structure for water retention, drainage and aeration.

The VinaTap low compression coco peat bag maintains moisture in the range of 35–40%, making it very easy to loosen by hand and fast to hydrate for immediate use.

3. Key Benefits – Good Growing Medium for All Types of Plants

• Excellent root environment: Loose, airy structure promotes strong, healthy root systems for vegetables, flowers, fruit crops and ornamentals.
• Improved soil structure: Acts as a soil improver, adding organic matter and enhancing both clay and sandy soils.
• High water holding capacity: Works like a sponge, holding water in the root zone while maintaining good drainage.
• Enhanced nutrient retention: High cation exchange capacity (CEC) allows nutrients to be absorbed and released according to plant needs.
• Better aeration: Prevents compaction, keeps soil loose and well-aerated, supporting vigorous growth and higher yields.
• 100% organic & eco-friendly: Sustainable, peat-free alternative to traditional soil amendments.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for seedling trays, nursery media, potting mixes, root induction, home gardening, landscaping and more.

4. Applications & Recommended Uses

VinaTap Coco Peat 200L bags are used in many sectors of the growing industry:

• Seedling trays & nurseries: Ideal as a nursery medium and for seeding, providing a clean, uniform environment.
• Potting mixes: Used as a base or component in professional potting mixes for flowers, vegetables, herbs and houseplants.
• Farm planting medium: Excellent substrate for vegetable beds, berry crops and fruit trees.
• Hydroponics & aquaponics: Works as a soilless medium in hydroponic systems due to its high porosity and water-holding capacity.
• Landscaping & golf courses: Improves soil structure and moisture management in landscape beds, turf renovation and golf applications.
• Mushroom cultivation: Used as a component in mushroom growing substrates.
• Bonsai mixes, vegetable beds & rose planting: Highly popular because it is easy to handle and provides excellent root-zone conditions.

As a soil substitute or conditioner, VinaTap coco peat can be used directly or mixed with sand, soil or compost to improve water holding capacity and ventilation.

5. How to Use VinaTap Coco Peat 200L Bag

5.1 Direct Use as Growing Medium

• Cut open the poly bag and loosen the coco peat by hand or with a small tool.
• Add clean water gradually until the substrate is uniformly moist (not waterlogged).
• Fill pots, trays or beds and plant seeds or seedlings.

5.2 Mixing Recommendations

• Garden soil / pots: Mix up to 40% coco peat with soil or potting mix.
• Seed sowing: Use coco peat combined with 1 part organic fertilizer for gentle nutrition.
• Sprouts & microgreens: Use 100% coco peat for a clean, fine substrate.
• Hydroponic growing medium: Use 100% coco peat or mix with perlite for improved drainage.
• Soil improvement: Add 15–20% coco peat to poor soils to increase organic matter and water retention.

For specialized mixes, you can combine this bagged coco peat with perlite, coco husk chips or biochar to achieve the exact drainage and aeration profile required for your crops.
