What is Coco Peat (5kg Block)?

• Made from coconut husk fiber – a natural and eco-friendly byproduct.

• Comes in a compressed 5kg block, which expands 5–6 times when soaked in water.

• Acts as an excellent growing medium and soil conditioner.

✅ Benefits for Terrace Gardening:

1. Lightweight & Easy to Carry:

   • Ideal for rooftops where load matters.

   • Much lighter than regular soil when expanded.

2. Excellent Water Retention:

   • Holds moisture up to 7–8 times its weight, reducing frequent watering.

3. Improves Drainage & Aeration:

   • Prevents waterlogging, supports healthy root growth.

4. pH Neutral & Sterile:

   • Free from pests, weeds, and pathogens.

   • Safe for vegetable and flower gardening.

5. Sustainable & Reusable:

   • Can be reused for multiple growing cycles with proper care.

6. Ideal Base for Potting Mix:

   • Mix with compost, vermicompost, or garden soil for best results.

🌹 Uses in Mulching for Roses:

1. Moisture Lock:

   • Keeps the root zone of rose plants cool and moist.

2. Weed Control:

   • Forms a cover over soil, suppressing weed growth.

3. Temperature Regulation:

   • Protects roses from extreme heat or cold.

4. Enhances Aesthetic:

   • Gives a clean and neat look around rose beds or pots.

5. Slow Release of Nutrients (if enriched):

   • Coco peat enriched with compost can slowly release nutrients to roses.

💡 Usage Tips:

• Soak the 5kg block in a tub with 25–30 liters of water for 30–45 minutes.

• Fluff it up – you’ll get around 70–80 liters of coco peat.

• For potting mix: use 40% coco peat + 30% compost + 30% soil/vermicompost.

• For mulching: apply a 2–3 inch layer on top of the soil around rose plants.
