How to treat Coco Peat

Treatment of Coco Peat is key before use.  Failure to treat it will result to poor germination due to the scorching effect caused by excess sodium in the medium.

Cocopeat is treated by first soaking it in water to hydrate it after which fertiliser such as calcium nitrate that can replace the sodium salts is introduced. This reaction takes about 24 hours and helps to remove the unwanted salts. It is then and rinsed several times.  Finally, drain water and measure EC to ensure it is within the pH range required.

Then pot the media in seedling trays or pots. Finally, sow the seeds singly and put under a shade or a greenhouse.
