Common uses of cocopeat:

• As a growing medium for agriculture, floriculture, horticulture, nurseries and greenhouses.
• Mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil. Cocopeat generally has acidity in the range of pH - 5.5 to 6.5. It is a little on the acidic side for some plants, but most popular plants can tolerate this pH range. Lime can be added to bring down the acidity.
• In the construction & maintenance of green spaces(landscaping industry).
• As a substrate for growing mushrooms. Mushrooms thrive in cocopeat as cocopeat has high cellulose and lignin content.
• As a soil conditioner.                            
• For plant propogation.
• For mulching gardens.
• For potting orchids.
• As a substitute for peat, as it is free of bacteria and most fungal spores, and is sustainably produced without the environmental damage caused by peat mining.
• As an industrial absorbent.
• For animal bedding - Its high absorption property keeps the stable dry, odourless and hygenic. Being 100% natural and organic it does not pose a health hazard for the animals. Also, once the cocopeat is saturated it can be used as an organic fertilizer.
