Plagron Coco Perlite 70/30 Mix

A ready-to-plant coco mix that drains as freely as it holds water

Plagron Coco Perlite 70/30 Mix blends washed, pre-buffered coco coir with 30% perlite to give roots a steady moisture supply and plenty of air at the same time. Plagron buffers the coco to displace excess calcium and sodium before it reaches you, so the medium feeds predictably from the first watering instead of locking up early nutrients.

Key Benefits

• Buffered coco coir pre-treated to prevent calcium and sodium lock-out in early feeds
• 30% perlite content that opens air pockets for drainage and root oxygenation
• Low starting EC and pH around 6.5, gentle enough for seedlings and fresh clones
• Ready to use straight from the bag with no rinsing
• Reusable across more than one cycle once flushed

Fixing waterlogged roots and slow uptake in dense coco

Straight coco can pack down and hold too much water around the root ball, starving roots of oxygen and slowing nutrient uptake. The 30% perlite breaks that up so excess water drains away rather than sitting on the roots, keeping oxygen available and speeding establishment after transplanting.

How to Use

• Potting and transplanting: fill pots or your system and plant directly into the mix
• Feeding: use a coco-specific nutrient from the first watering, as coco holds only a small nutrient reserve
• Watering: little and often once established, especially under drip irrigation
• pH: keep feed around 5.5 to 6.2 to suit the medium's near-neutral start
