Coco Peat, also known as coir pith or coir dust, is a 100% natural and organic byproduct of coconut husks. This lightweight, highly absorbent growing medium is ideal for gardening, hydroponics, and soil conditioning. It retains moisture, improves aeration, and enhances root growth, making it an excellent alternative to traditional soil and peat moss.
100% Organic & Sustainable - Made from renewable coconut husks.
Superior Water Retention - Holds up to 10x its weight in water for better hydration.
Promotes Healthy Root Growth - Enhances aeration and prevents root rot.
Ideal for Gardening & Hydroponics - Perfect for potting mix, seed germination, and soil enrichment.
Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable - A sustainable alternative to peat moss.
Coco peat is made from the pith inside a coconut husk. It is naturally anti-fungal, making it an excellent choice to sow seed. It is the only natural resource that can be used as an alternative for soil. Other uses of coco peat is also used in rugs, ropes, brushes, as stuffing. Coco peat is used in modern-day gardening, terrace gardens, water absorbent to retain moisture for a longer time. Its air-filled porosity and high-water holding capacity makes it an ideal growing medium for plant crops. It is 100% organic and eco-friendly, free from soil-borne pathogens and weeds.
ValueOptExim Cocopeat is an excellent growing medium and it is one of the best and safest media for seed germination. It improves aeration in the soil for optimal root growth while maintaining the ideal nutrient availability for plants. Better root growth results in better plant growth and higher yield. Coco peat increases the water holding capacity of the potting mix even as it increases the porosity of the soil.
Coco peat is a natural, organic, and renewable product with a slightly acidic pH that many plants prefer to grow in, as it retains moisture for a longer period without evaporating and consumes less water than Soil. Using Team Green Coco peat, you save water consumption & contribute to the environment.

From 2019, we are identifying products based on the following codes which represent the grade of the products we manufacture. The grades may indicate quality, but is primarily meant to identify the type of product, its application and its ingredients. The grade code is not the batch number. The grade code is a general id for the product while the batch number helps us to identify type of product, place of manufacture and time of manufacture of the product. Together the grade code and batch number helps us to identify the exact product supplied to buyers.
The following are the basic grade codes for different products manufactured by us. The product grade code is constructed from the basic grade code according to the ingredient of the product. Here cocopeat is represented by the word Aged Coir Compost which is the term we use in most trade.
Coco peat increases the porosity of the potting mix. This helps to keep the soil loose and airy helping in better root growth. Better root growth results in better plant growth and higher yield.
Coco peat increases the water holding capacity of the potting mix even as it increases the porosity of the soil. This ensures that the plant does not suffer from overwatering or underwatering.
High porosity, high water holding capacity and high cation exchange capacity together mean that the quantity of coco peat required per plant can be very less.
Coco peat has excellent properties that make it a very forgiving hydroponic (soilless) medium. Being an organic medium it has high Cation Exchange Capacity allowing nutrients to be absorbed and released to the plants according to their need.
Unlike peat, coco peat is easy to rewet. Dry coco peat is very hydrophilic and quickly absorbs water making it easy to use.
Unlike inorganic medium such as perlite, vermiculite or rockwool, coco peat can be compressed to one fifth or less of its volume reducing transportation, storage and handling costs.
Coco peat is a renewable media. It is extracted from the husk of coconuts. What used to be a waste product just a couple of decades ago is now one of the thrust areas for export for the Coir Board of India.
Coco peat contains natural trichoderma which acts as a Bio agent against harmful pathogens. It provides a great environment for beneficial fungi and bacteria to grow.
Coco peat can be pressed into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit all growing applications.
Coco peat mixed with coconut husk chips provides all the advantages of coco peat while increasing the drainage of the mix.
