Common uses of coco peat include:
* As a substitute for peat moss, because it is free of bacteria and most fungal spores, and is sustainably produced without the environmental damage caused by peat mining.
* Mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil. Coco peat generally has an acidity in the range of pH - 5.5 to 6.5. It is a little on the acidic side for some plants, but many popular plants can tolerate this pH range.
* As substrate for growing mushrooms, which thrive on the cellulose. Coco peat has high cellulose and lignin content.
* Coco peat can be re-used up to three times. Coco peat from diseased plants however, should not be re-used.
