COCODISK

ECOPEAT® Gerbera Disk

An organic potting medium made from natural coconut husk fibers, this all natural material is not only ideal for hydroponics and mixed media cultivation, but is an excellent soil conditioner as well. This product was specially developed for growing Gerberas which require a robust, high AFP medium with relatively low water retention.

Each Ecopeat Gerbera Disk expands to over five times its compressed size, to approximately 1 1/2 dry gallon, enough to fill five (5) six-inch pots.

Coco peat loosens clay soils and is highly porous to aid in strong root development. It has a soft fibrous texture that does not crust when dry.

The pH of Ecopeat ranges between 5.7 and 6.3, making it ideal as a soil amendment. Ecopeat products are free from weed seeds or diseases, and can be used as a peat moss replacement in potting mixes or alone as a potting medium.

Ecopeat disks are a shredded form of coconut husks, as opposed to the coffee ground consistency of competitive products, which results in a much higher air to water ratio, extremely important for healthy root development. This promotes stronger root systems with better nutrient absorption resulting in excellent growth and plant formation.

Ecopeat products are entirely organic and manufactured from renewable resources. Washed and pH balanced so you can begin fertilization immediately. The fibrous material settles faster after planting, absorbs water easily at all times and has optimal drainage characteristics so the medium always stays extremely airy. Its structure holds up throughout cultivation, with minimal settling.

To use, simply fill a bucket with 3 gallons of water, and place one Disk in the bucket for 1 hour. The disk will slowly dissolve and coconut fibre will be ready to use. Can also be mixed with any other growing media such as perlite, grow rocks or potting soil to make the final growing mix.

Each package contains 20 Gerbera Disks, which will expand to approximately 30 dry gallons of growing media or soil amendment. Also it is sold by the individual un-wrapped disk. Just place the disk in your container, hydrate with your standard fertilizer scheme, and start cultivating!
