Coco Coir Peat is known for its low EC and pH values. The physical properties are determined by the type of peat and the fraction used. Coarse peat fractions give the potting soil mixtures an airy structure, whereas the spongey nature of Coco Coir Peat will retain more water with a higher ratio compared to peat moss or milled peat.
