About this item
- Hydrate the Cocopeat. Cocopeat usually comes as a dry block or loose powder, and needs water to expand. How to do it: Place the cocopeat in a large container or bucket. Add water slowly. Let it soak for 15–30 minutes until it fluffs up. Break it apart with your hands or a tool if needed.
- Remove Excess Salts (Optional but Recommended) Sometimes cocopeat contains salts (especially if it's not pre-washed). You can flush it: Rinse the expanded cocopeat with fresh water. Let the water drain completely. Repeat 2–3 times to reduce salt content.
- Mix with Other Growing Media (Optional) Cocopeat is great, but for best results, mix it with Perlite/ Sand or Compost/Vermicompost
