Compressed Coco Fibre:
What is it and how does it help us grow?
When you use coco fibre for your plants and gardens, you’ll notice improved plant growth, reduction of water logging, improved water efficiency and more. Read below to find out more benefits of using coco fibre products for your plants.
Coco Fibre: What Is It?
Coco fibre, or coco peat, is made from the fibrous outer husk of the coconut.
Machines mill this husk into tiny pieces, which are then compressed into blocks.
These blocks can then be rehydrated and turned into premium growing substrate.
When water is added, compressed Coco Fibre bricks expand up to seven times their volume.
The end-product is an excellent seed-raising medium or soil additive for bigger, healthier plants.

The coconut is a seed. It contains everything it needs to grow into a young plant.
The living water turns into an embryo, providing nourishment and energy for the new shoot to grow.
The fibre around the hard shell provides the perfect balance of air and moisture to ensure that new roots will thrive.
