Cocopeat is an environment-friendly soil amendment made of compressed coconut husks. It is also known as Coir Dust, Coir Pith, and Coco Coir. It has a high water-absorbing capacity, is very lightweight, and helps plant roots to expand by maintaining good drainage and airflow. Because of these characteristics, coco coir brick is used in gardening to prepare seedlings from seed, to make the soilless potting mix, and to mix it into the soil to prevent it from hardening.
