Why Dutch Plantin?

 

Coco peat produces much healthier plants that requires less watering and less frequent fertilising. Commercial growers of pot plants produce higher quality stock when they use a potting mix containing Coco peat.

Dutch Plantin coco peat products are graded to specific particle sizes and fibre content. These gradings provide a more accurate growing media exactly tailored to each growing application. Particle size grading now allows for a wider spectrum range of water holding capacity, air filled porosity and bulk density, to suit seasonal climate conditions and specific crop production.
