Is low EC cocopeat the same as buffered cocopeat?
No. EC describes soluble salts under a stated test method. Buffering is a separate treatment affecting the coir’s exchange sites. Specify both treatment and test method when buying.

Cocopeat questions.
Clear buying answers.
Compare treatment, formats and export specifications before your next growing-media order.
Which cocopeat format should I buy?
Compare 5 kg blocks for hydration and blending, growbag slabs for crop rows, open-top bags for individual plants, and cubes or discs for nursery applications. Start with your crop and growing system.
How do I compare 5 kg block expansion?
Ask for the hydration and volume-measurement method, moisture basis and grade. Nominal expansion options should be checked with a representative sample; a block weight alone does not establish usable litres.
Are Teral growbags and open-top bags buffered?
Teral growbags and open-top bags use buffered peat. Agree particle grade, EC method, limits, dimensions and drainage in the final order specification.
What should an export quotation include?
Send the product, grade, quantity, destination, packing preference and delivery window. Ask for the agreed delivery terms, freight scope, shipment documents and production lead time in writing.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum quantities depend on format, customisation, packing and destination. Teral confirms these in the quotation; a sample request is not a confirmed bulk order.
Can I trial cocopeat before a bulk order?
Request samples with your crop, growing system and evaluation requirements. Sample contents, availability and any product or courier charges are confirmed before dispatch.
