HOW TO USE THE Cocopeat Block

• Break apart a brick in parts and throw it in a large bucket. Add enough amount of water to saturate the brick.
• Allow the dry coco peat to sit in the water for some time so that it can become loose and absorb the water.
• Stir and fluff coco peat with a garden trowel after 10-15 minutes, add more water if it looks dry. Stop, if it’s loose.
• Stir and fluff again after a few minutes to make sure all of it has been moistened, add more water if it’s not loose yet. Once you see the moist and loose coco peat, it is ready to use in the garden.

Cocopeat Block can be used as a soil-less growing medium for potted plants or in aqua-culture growing environments. Add the reconstituted bricks to planters, leaving 1 inch of space below the planter rim. Plant a seed or seedling in the center. Fertilizer and soil will need to be added to sustain a plant long-term when it’s planted in coco peat.
