Plagron Cocos, Canna Coco, Atami coconut briquettes, mats and substrates. High-quality buffered coconut substrates for growing plants in coconut.

Coconut is a versatile and naturally biodegradable growing medium. Coconut substrates contain no nutrients, bacteria, let alone diseases or illnesses. The pulp is made from coconuts and fibers.

High-quality coco substrates are cleaned, buffered and supplemented with the friendly fungus Trichoderma, which protects the plant from mold. In addition, it significantly supports the formation of roots, simultaneously increasing their total surface area and then the ability to process and absorb more nutrients. With a powerful root system, you can look forward to rapid growth and higher production of flowers and fruits.

Coconut substrates are inert, absorb water well, but do not retain it as much as clay. Therefore, they are also suitable for hydroponic cultivation, manual and automatic irrigation. When growing plants in coconut with the help of the Autopot system, it is recommended to mix coconut fiber with perlite. Coconut substrates are more suitable for indoor growing, but even in outdoor conditions, its air properties can be effectively used when mixed with soil substrate. A great advantage is the possibility of repeated use.

What about pressed coconut substrates?

Pressed and dehydrated coconut is an interesting option to use the benefits of coconut substrate while saving space and effort when moving. Dehydrated coconut medium in the form of briquettes or slivers is lighter. You can easily make about 70 liters of coconut from a ten-liter package using about 90 liters of water. One-meter long mats are suitable for Libra boxes, for example.

For cultivating plants in coconut substrate, we recommend using specialized fertilizers designed for this method of cultivation. The great advantage of coconut is its multiple uses and easy natural disposal.
