Ph : (5.9 - 6.5)

Water holding capacity: 9 times its dry weight in water. Its sponge like stucture has the ability to absorb large quantities of water very quickly but it will not be waterlogged as excess water drains away.

AFP: Coco fiber has the ability to retain high quantities of oxygen without the need to add any other costly material (such as perlite or wetting agents etc.) Coco Fiber normally has 96% pore space and this allows water to drain easily through, while preventing water logging, but at the same time holding maximum amounts of water (78%) in the 'sponges' which remain available, at low tensions, to the plants when/as required.

Shrinkage: Due to its high lignin and cellulose structure, it does not shrink.

Longevity: Coco Fiber has a naturally high lignin content (approx %45) which inhibitss bacterial and fungal breakdown and thus allows Coco Fiber to biodegrade much more slowly than peat moss. In fact it will stay full in the pot/container in excess of 5 years, making it ideal for plants such as roses that have to stay in the same container for a long time. Due to its high lignin structure it also does not shrink away from the sides of the pot.

Capping: Due to the Coco Fibers structure, the sponges remain open and will absorb water rapidly. It is easily wetted and will not shrink , crack or crust.

Cation Exchange Capacity(CEC): Coco Fiber has a high CEC ratio where nutrient ions are bound in the molecular structure and are not leached away but are held for the release to the plant as required.
