Buffering of coco peat is a chemical process consisting of replacing sodium and potassium with calcium, washing away excess waste.
Coco coir buffering begins with flushing and rinsing the cocopeat with clean water. Washing removes only elements soluble in water, buffering also removes elements which are naturally bound to the cation exchange.
During the buffering process, coco coir cation exchange complex is saturated with a solution of calcium nitrate for an extended period. The absorbed calcium displaces the residual potassium and sodium in the complex, which are washed away leaving a very clean coco coir your plants will love!
Clean, buffered coco coir is the choice for any grower who wants healthy happy plants that reach their full potential.
