1. What Is Cocopeat Block 5kg?

Cocopeat Block 5kg (also known as coco coir block) is produced from the inner pith of coconut husks. After washing, drying, sieving, and compressing, the material is formed into a compact block weighing 5 kilograms.

When soaked in water, one block expands into 65–75 liters of loose, fluffy growing media. This makes cocopeat blocks highly economical for storage, transport, and export.

Cocopeat is naturally biodegradable, renewable, and a strong alternative to peat-based media. If your crop needs more drainage and aeration, many farms blend cocopeat with coco husk chips to achieve a stronger air-to-water ratio.
