Know before you buy
No, this is an inert growing medium. It does not contain added nutrients, so you will need to provide a complete fertilizer regimen from the start.
Yes, it is pre-buffered and pH adjusted, meaning you can use it immediately without needing to wash or treat the coco before planting.
While it is excellent for hydroponic systems due to its aeration and drainage properties, it works perfectly as a base for custom soil mixes or as a standalone potting medium for container plants.
This blend offers high moisture retention while maintaining a superior air-to-water ratio. It holds water effectively but resists compaction, which helps prevent root suffocation.
The coarse texture of this coco pith and fiber mix provides excellent natural drainage on its own. Most growers find it sufficient for root health without needing additional amendments, though you can add perlite if you prefer even higher aeration.
