Profile: K.Sivaram Bros is a producer of coconut coir peats and pots. Coco coir peat is a coir fiber pith or coir dust produced as a bi-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. Coco coir peat is a binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk. A special grade of coir dust is washed, screened and graded before being processed into various coco coir peat products for horticultural and agricultural applications. Coco coir peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogeneous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges, that absorb and hold up to eight times it's own weight in water. Coco coir peat is a proven natural alternative to mined peat moss, therefore using it helps slow down peat extraction from environmentally sensitive swamps.
