Low EC Cocopeat

Low EC Cocopeat

Low EC Cocopeat is a premium, washed growing medium derived from high-quality coconut husk sourced from Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. It is specially processed to reduce soluble salts, making it suitable for horticulture, hydroponics, nurseries, and other applications where controlled electrical conductivity (EC) is critical.

Our Low EC cocopeat is widely used by professional growers, nurseries, and greenhouse operators due to its excellent water-holding capacity, superior aeration, and consistent quality.

Key Features

  • Low electrical conductivity suitable for sensitive crops
  • Excellent water retention and soil porosity
  • Promotes healthy root development
  • Natural, biodegradable, and eco-friendly
  • pH range typically between 5.5 and 6.5, suitable for most plants
  • Lightweight and easy to handle

Quality Grades Available

We offer Low EC Cocopeat in multiple grades to meet varied customer requirements:

  • Low Quality – Suitable for general applications
  • Medium Quality – Balanced fibre and dust content
  • High Quality (Destoner Grade) – Thoroughly processed to remove sand and impurities, ideal for premium and export use

Customers can select the grade based on crop type and cultivation method.

Recommended Applications

Low EC Cocopeat is widely used in:

  • Horticulture and floriculture
  • Seed germination trays and nurseries
  • Hydroponics and soilless cultivation
  • Greenhouse farming
  • Vegetable and fruit cultivation
  • Potting mix formulation (when mixed with compost, sand, or fertilisers)
  • Landscaping and lawn development

Its high lignin and cellulose content also make it suitable for mushroom cultivation.

Usage Recommendation

For best results, we recommend washing and buffering the cocopeat before use, especially for hydroponic systems and high-value crops. This ensures optimal nutrient availability and improved plant performance.

Packaging Options

  • Compressed blocks (5 kg standard)
  • Grow bags and planks (custom sizes)
  • Small briquettes (retail and home gardening)
  • Loose cocopeat packed in PP or HDPE bags

Packaging can be customised for both domestic and export markets.
