Coco Peat (کوکو پیٹ) is a natural, fibrous growing medium made from coconut husk — excellent for retaining moisture, loosening compact soil, and improving drainage. Ideal for vegetables, flowering plants, bonsai, indoor pots, and hydroponic setups, it helps roots grow strong without the risk of overwatering.
Whether you’re gardening on a rooftop in Lahore or in a grow bag in Karachi, coco peat helps your plants stay hydrated and healthy — especially in Pakistan’s dry or clay-heavy soils.
Benefits:
- Holds Moisture: Keeps plants hydrated while preventing rot
- Improves Soil: Loosens dense clay soil and supports better aeration
- Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable, pest-resistant, and free from harmful chemicals
- Versatile Use: Suitable for pots, grow bags, raised beds, seed starting, and hydroponics
- Perfect for Pakistan’s Climate: Helps plants cope with heat stress and irregular watering

FAQs – Coco Peat for Gardening
Q1: Is this loose coco peat or brick form?
We offer it as loose ready-to-use coco peat (no soaking required). For brick format, check Coco Peat Brick.
Q2: Can I grow vegetables in coco peat only?
Not alone — coco peat holds moisture but lacks nutrition. Mix with vermicompost or fertilizer for best results.
Q3: Does coco peat need to be flushed before use?
No, it's not necessary. Our coco peat is already washed to remove excess salts, so you can use it straight from the pack without soaking or flushing.
Q4: Is it good for grow bags or urban gardening?
Yes — coco peat is lightweight and clean, making it ideal for rooftop gardens and grow bags.
Q5: Will it attract insects or fungus?
No — coco peat is naturally pest- and disease-resistant, unlike bark or raw compost.
💡 Tip:
Use coco peat as the base in your potting mix, then top up with vermicompost, neem cake, or seaweed for full nutrition. For tomatoes or capsicum in pots, this combo performs best.
