Amin Bushra Company is an importer of coconuts from Sri Lanka and India (Sri Lanka coconuts, Indian coconuts).
Cocopit is the spongy residue obtained from the processing of coconut skin (mesocarp). Cocopeat contains short fibers of about 2% to 13%. Cocopit fibers are fluff-like particles with different sizes.
Cocopit strongly absorbs gases and liquids. This characteristic of cocopeat, due to its hexagonal arrangement, increases the amount of its contact surfaces.
Cocopit is a hydrophilic substance or water absorbent that quickly spreads water over the entire surface of the substrate.
At first, cocopeat is light brown in color, but over time, it turns into a chocolate brown color. This material (cocopeat) is now produced in Sri Lanka and is used in the world market.
After the skin is separated from the inner layer of the coconut fruit, it is soaked in water in order to soften the kernel and release the fibers. Then they separate the long fibers from the brain. Cocopeat is air-dried and pressed into molds.
In recent years, especially in the Netherlands, the use of coconut peat as a medium for hydroponic cultivation has become very common. Although access to other mediums such as perlite and lyca can be much easier and faster, this type of medium has led to amazing results for improving the condition of cultivation due to the absorption of nutrients, high humidity and the type of tissue suitable for the growth and development of plant roots. Get hydroponics. Cocopit is actually prepared from crushed and pressed coconut fibers, and each kilogram of cocopit increases in volume by about 12 to 14 liters after mixing with water, which can be considered as one of the advantages of using cocopit due to the saving of transportation costs. And quoted.
Another major advantage of this product is its high absorption of water and nutrients, the type of texture suitable for the growth and development of plant roots, which has stunning results.
