Neem Core Peat Brick (650g) – 100% Natural Superior Growing Medium

Neem Core Peat Brick (650g) – 100% Natural Superior Growing Medium

The Neem Core Peat Brick is a high-performance, sustainable growing substrate that combines the moisture-retaining power of premium coco peat with the natural protective benefits of Neem. This 650g compressed brick is a marvel of efficiency, expanding to provide up to 10 liters of fluffy, aerated growing medium when hydrated. 100% natural and Organic/Vegan certified, it is the perfect choice for environmentally conscious gardeners. The inclusion of Neem core within the peat provides a natural deterrent to soil-borne pests and enhances plant vigor, making it a "superior" alternative to traditional potting soils or plain peat moss.

Best For Gardeners looking for a lightweight, eco-friendly, and pest-resistant medium for seed starting, propagation, or improving the quality of indoor and outdoor potting mixes.

Key Features

• Neem-Infused Protection: Contains natural Neem properties known to improve soil health and discourage common soil pests like fungus gnats, providing a safer environment for delicate roots.

• Massive Expansion: A compact 650g brick is easy to store and transport, yet makes up to 10L of usable medium—enough to fill several small pots or a standard seed tray.

• Organic & Vegan Certified: Guaranteed 100% plant-based and free from synthetic chemicals, animal by-products, or peat bog depletion, aligning with ethical gardening practices.

• Superior Water Retention: The coco peat fibers act like a sponge, holding onto moisture while maintaining excellent drainage and aeration to prevent root rot.

• pH Balanced & Low EC: Naturally buffered to be pH neutral, ensuring that nutrients remain readily available to your plants from day one.

Specifications

• Brand: Neem Core

• Weight: 650g (Compressed)

• Yield: Approx. 10 Liters (Hydrated)

• Material: 100% Natural Coco Peat with Neem Core

• Certifications: Organic / Vegan Friendly

Ideal For (Uses)

• Seed Starting & Propagation: The fine, sterile texture provides the ideal environment for tender seedlings and cuttings to establish strong root systems.

• Indoor Houseplants: A clean, soil-less medium that reduces the risk of bringing "hitchhiker" pests into the home while keeping moisture consistent.

• Soil Conditioning: Mix into heavy clay or sandy garden beds to improve soil texture, moisture holding capacity, and microbial activity.

• Hydroponics & Vertical Gardens: Its lightweight nature and high porosity make it an excellent substrate for recirculating systems and hanging planters.

Pro Tip: To hydrate, place the brick in a large bucket and add approximately 4–5 liters of warm water. The warmth helps the fibers expand faster. Once it’s fully fluffed up, give it a quick stir to ensure the Neem core is evenly distributed before planting.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
