Premium Coco Peat in Kenya for Seedlings, Hydroponics & Greenhouse Farming

Looking for a sustainable, pH-balanced growing medium for your nursery, greenhouse, or hydroponic system in Kenya? Coco peat (coconut coir) is a 100% organic growing medium made from the fibrous husk of the coconut, valued for its excellent water retention, aeration, and disease-free structure. Greene Products supplies premium coco peat to nurseries, flower growers, and commercial farms across Kenya.

What is Coco Peat?

Coco peat is a multi-purpose growing medium made from the pith and fibre of coconut husks. It is processed, sieved, and compacted into an easy-to-transport, eco-friendly substrate that is free from soil-borne pests, fungi, and weed seeds. Greene Products' Coco Peat Plus+ is a premium-grade coir substrate, reconditioned to the right formula for reliable cultivation results.

How to Prepare Coco Peat Before Use

Greene Products' Coco Peat Plus+ comes pre-conditioned and ready for use straight from the bag, which saves growers the time and risk involved in manual treatment. For best results:

Hydrate the coco peat block thoroughly with clean water until fully expanded and loosened.
Allow excess water to drain so the medium is moist but not waterlogged before filling trays or pots.
Since coco peat contains minimal nutrients, follow a regular feeding programme suited to your crop from the seedling stage onward.
Sow seeds or transplant seedlings, then place under a shade net or in a greenhouse for protected germination.
