What it is

Coco peat is the brown, soil-like fibre left over when coir mills process coconut husks. Compressed into a small round disc, it ships flat and stores forever. Drop it in water, wait five minutes, and you have a generous bowlful of light, fluffy growing medium, perfect for seedlings.

We source raw coir from established mills in Tamil Nadu, then pack the discs in our Delhi shop in moisture-sealed packets so each one is fresh when it reaches you.

How to use

  1. Place the disc in a wide bowl or seed tray. Pour about 500 ml of warm water over it.
  2. Wait 5 minutes. The disc expands and turns into loose dark-brown peat.
  3. Fluff with a spoon to break up any tight pockets.
  4. Press your seeds into it at the depth recommended for that plant (chilli ~6 mm, tomato ~6 mm, basil 3 mm, sunflower 12 mm).
  5. Keep moist, not wet. Mist daily. Once seeds germinate, transplant the whole peat ball into a normal pot.
Why coco peat

Why it beats regular soil for seeds.

SterileNo fungal spores or weed seeds, a common reason home seedlings die early.
Holds water but breathesAir pockets stop the seed from rotting; moisture stays around the root zone.
pH-neutralAround 5.5 to 6.5, ideal for most kitchen-garden seeds.
ReusableAfter the seedling moves out, mix the peat into your regular potting soil, it improves moisture retention.

Growing microgreens? One disc fills one of our upcoming Microgreens Kit trays perfectly.

Common questions

Before you buy.

About 4 to 6 seeds per disc, spaced 2 cm apart. For tiny seeds (basil, microgreens), broadcast a small pinch instead of placing them individually.
Not for the first 2 weeks, seedlings live off the seed's own reserves. Once you see the second set of true leaves, transplant into a normal pot and add a few of our fertilizer sticks.
Pure coco peat is too light to anchor a mature plant; mix it 50/50 with garden soil and a handful of compost. That's our standard "balcony mix".
Yes, the mills wash it to bring salt content (EC) below 1.0, which is safe for almost all home plants. We test each batch before packing.
