Produce seedlings with stronger more fibrous roots
Cocopeat's light weight, high Water Holding Capacity and high Air Filled Porosity is advantageous for producing seedlings with strong and fibrous roots.

Higher germination rates
Cocopeat's ability to re-wet easily makes it the perfect medium to use in seedling trays and tubes. Germination rates are very high when seedlings are grown in mixes containing Cocopeat.

Easily re-wets
Cocopeat is the ideal medium for all seed raising applications. Unlike sphagnum peat, Cocopeat has the ability to re-wet very easily. This makes it the perfect medium to use in plug and cell production for vegetable and flower seed raising, and for tubestock production of outdoor seedlings.

Vegetable Seedlings
Typical Vegetable Seedling Mix formulation:

Cocopeat and Vermiculite at 50% to 50% by volume. To this add some Fertlisers to improve the Phosphorus, Calcium, Nitrogen, Iron and remaining trace elements.

Per cubic meter of mix use:

Prior to using check the pH and EC of the mix. Ensure the mix is well watered. Use a complete liquid feed with Calcium or the low strength dose of A & B concentrates (hydroponic feed solution).

Flower Seedlings
See Typical Vegetable Seedling Mix formulation, alternatively for varieties requiring a more open media use:

Cocopeat 60%
Medium Grade Perlite 40%

or

Cocopeat 70%
Propogation Sand 30%

Tubestock

Cocopeat 60%
Coarse Perlite 40%

or

Cocopeat 60%
Propagation Sand 20%
Screened Bark 30%

Cuttings
For cuttings make a mixture of 50% Cocopeat with Gypsum added and 50% coarse sand. Do not feed until roots have developed.
