Description

The Coconut brick washed buffered 4,5 kg is the ideal substrate for those who prefer a clean and natural product. It is especially suitable for fast-growing plants. It is treated with calcium and then rinsed with clean water, creating a very stable, fertilizer-free substrate. It has a high water retention capacity, so less water is needed for watering. Coconut fiber is the outer layer of the coconut shell. Due to its fibrous structure similar to peat, it is a widely used growing medium. It is able to absorb and retain eight times its own weight of water and can store it for a long time. The space between the fibers provides good ventilation. Since it is a non-living organic material, it is not prone to mold. It can be used in most soil cultivation methods, as the only medium or to improve soil mixtures. Its beneficial properties can also be exploited as a separate water storage layer.
