Coco peat, also known as coconut coir, is a natural and sustainable alternative to peat moss, offering excellent water retention, aeration, and drainage for plants. It's derived from coconut husks and is often used in hydroponics and seed sowing mixes. Coco peat is lightweight, relatively inert, and comes from a renewable source.

Properties:
· Water retention: Coco peat has a high water-holding capacity, retaining significantly more water than traditional soil.
· Aeration and drainage: It improves aeration and drainage in the soil, preventing root rot and promoting healthy root growth.
· pH neutral: Coco peat is generally pH neutral, meaning it won't acidify the soil.
