Aged vs. Fresh Coco
Coco must be ‘aged’ to boost its stability.
Coco may be unstable for horticultural use if it is too fresh or too old. It's only during cultivation that it will become apparent whether the material is stable. Steaming coco to prevent weeds is another common practice among coco manufacturers.
Research has shown the structure of coco further deteriorates when it is steamed. Enormous amounts of Dutch Plantin coco are stored in bunkers for a minimum of three months, resulting in an extremely stable product.
Dutch Plantin strictly monitors raw material production and maintains a clean environment, producing a product that is stable, consistent, and free of pests and weeds without the need for steaming.
Indian Coco vs.
Sri Lankan Coco
Dutch Plantin processes coco pith harvested from coconuts grown in regions of India located far from the sea.
Monsoons in these areas produce large amounts of rain which lowers the content of sodium, potassium, and chloride in the soil. The resulting raw materials for Dutch Plantin coco are significantly lower in these harmful salts compared to coconut husk harvested in coastal Sri Lanka.
Compared to Indian Coco, growers often find coco from Sri Lanka to be less reliable as a horticultural substrate.
