Until the advent of the Sri Lankan product; trade named COCOPEAT and COCOHUSK CHIPS came into existence, sphagnum and sedge peats, rockwool and perlite were the standard growing medium in hydroponics – the greenhouse technique where plants are grown without soil nutrients and moisture for seed germination and plant growth are provided by mineral solutions sprayed to the root systems, under controlled irrigation using spray, drip systems.

Since then, hydroponic techniques have been highly developed and perfected as tools in optimizing space utilization, cost cutting and yield optimization. Our products too have kept abreast or ahead of the ever increasing demand for a reliable array of professional substrates with uninterrupted supply.
