5 KG COCOPEAT — FINAL RESULT! 🌱💧
It took 40+ litres of water to fully hydrate this 5 kg compressed cocopeat brick!
But before using cocopeat for your plants, don’t forget one important step: WASH IT. 🧂💦
Cocopeat can contain soluble salts and excess minerals depending on its source and processing. Rinsing helps remove excess soluble salts before adding it to your potting mix.
So the process is:
5 KG compressed cocopeat
➜ 40+ litres water
➜ Fully expanded
➜ Wash & rinse
➜ Drain properly
➜ Ready to use 🌱
Scientific fact: Cocopeat has excellent water-holding capacity while retaining air spaces around roots, which makes it a useful growing medium for gardening and soilless cultivation.
Did you expect 5 kg cocopeat to expand this much? 👀
