Coco Peat for Greenhouses & Hydroponics – Complete Buyer Guide

If you are new to coco peat, start with our main guide: What Is Coco Peat? Complete Guide
1. Why Coco Peat Is Ideal for Greenhouses
Greenhouses require precise control of moisture, nutrients, and airflow. Coco peat provides a stable root-zone environment that traditional soil cannot guarantee.
- High water holding capacity
- Excellent root aeration
- Uniform texture and structure
- Free from weeds and pathogens
This makes coco peat perfect for vegetables, fruits, flowers, and high-value crops grown under controlled conditions.
2. Coco Peat in Hydroponic Systems
In hydroponics, the growing medium must not interfere with nutrient solutions. Low EC coco peat is essential to prevent salt stress.
- Low EC < 0.5 mS/cm
- Stable pH 5.8 – 6.5
- High cation exchange capacity (CEC)
- Consistent nutrient uptake
