Coco Earth Coco/Perlite 70/30 Mix 100% Organic 50 Litre Bag - Galuku

Coco Earth Coco/Perlite 70/30 Mix 100% Organic 50 Litre Bag - Galuku

Coco Earth Coco Perlite, a blend of 70% high quality Coco coir & 30% Perlite, a reliable and easy to use substrate for hydroponics, pots, planters, garden beds & more. Galuku substrates are engineered for a wide range of crop varieties.

Air filled porosity & Water holding capacity is important for successful plant growth. Coco Earth ensures the perfect combination of moisture, nutrient and air allowing plants and crops to flourish with a 35% Air filled porosity, 60% Water holding capacity, 50% Water retention efficiency. 

  • 100% Organic OMRI certified, free from chemical additives and soil diseases
  • Triple washed and buffered with Calmag
  • Neutral pH range of 5.8 to 6.2
  • Low EC - Electrical conductivity - Salt concentration indicator < 0.5 MSC
  • Ready to go just add to your growing container then add water & nutrients

OMRI organic certification ensures that the mix of coir and perlite maintains a high level of consistency and quality, is pest and disease free, thoroughly rinsed, pH stabilised, pre-buffered with Calmag, and has a very low salt index.

Coco Perlite has a good balance between liquid retention and drainage, allowing gardeners to supply nutrient solutions more frequently to ensure the consistency of nutrients. Coco Perlite is an ideal substrate to ensure that nutrients are present and available during plant growth & flowering - fruiting.

Coco coir has excellent water retaining properties due to its small particle size, which promotes a high degree of nutrient retention around the root zone. Perlite is a highly porous silica substrate with a large particle size, which does not retain water and thereby promotes drainage. Coco Perlite gives gardeners additional control by allowing them to optimise their setup to match their plant’s needs. It is essential that a complete and balanced nutrient like CX Horticulture Coco Base are used in conjunction with this Coco Earth blend

Features of Coco Earth 70/30 Perlite Blend

    • ✓ Coco Earth is triple washed and buffered with Calmag - calcium and magnesium, we recommend you always use a nutrient designed for Coco coir, the CX Horticulture Coco Base is an excellent compatible choice
    • ✓ pH Neutral: Coco peat typically has a neutral pH, and perlite is also pH neutral. This Coco Earth mix will maintain a pH close to neutral, making it suitable for a wide range of plants. However, it's important to monitor and adjust the pH as needed for specific plant requirements.
    • ✓ Low Salinity: Coco Earth is low in salts, which can be harmful to plant roots. This low salinity makes it an excellent choice for sensitive plants and for growers who want more control over nutrient levels.
    • ✓ Aeration: Perlite is known for its excellent aeration properties due to its lightweight, porous structure. Mixing 30% Perlite into the Coco Earth substrate improves air circulation in the root zone, preventing compaction and promoting healthy root development, reducing the incidence of any root disease
    • ✓ Moisture Retention: Coco peat has a high water holding capacity, and when combined with perlite, it creates a balance between retaining moisture and providing good drainage. This Coco Earth mix allows for consistent moisture levels in the substrate while reducing the risk of overwatering and root rot - disease
    • ✓ Nutrient Retention: Coco peat can hold onto and release certain nutrients over time, improving nutrient retention. Perlite, being inert, doesn't contribute to nutrient content but enhances nutrient availability by creating a well structured substrate
    • ✓ Improved Drainage: The addition of Perlite in Coco Earth significantly improves drainage in the substrate, reducing the risk of waterlogged conditions and root diseases
    • ✓ Light weight and consistent, Coco Earth is ideal as seed raising substrate, hydroponics, pots, planters, garden beds, roof top gardens & more.
    • ✓ OMRI listed for organic, OMRI certified means they meet standards for organic production and hydroponic cultivation and suitable for organic, sustainable horticulture. The certification ensures they are free from chemical additives and soil diseases, making them ideal for growing herbs, flowers, and fruits  

    Galuku provides consistent quality coir substrates with OMRI certification for use in organic cultivation, study’s show growing systems thrive and have a marked improvement in plant health when Coco Earth is used.

    Commonly used to grow :

    Tomatoes  Cucumbers    Peppers  Aubergines  

    Raspberries  Blackberries  Blueberries 

    What is Coir?, Coir describes the fibrous matter of the coconut husk surrounding the hard inner shell of the coconut which contains the coconut flesh and milk. The longer fibrous material has been used for centuries to make ropes favoured by mariners in Asia and the Middle East as well as doormats, brushes and mattresses. What is less known is that amongst those longer fibres are highly absorbent and porous minuscule particles made up of minute tubes which trap and retain liquid. It is this material which previously was a waste product that we call Coco Peat. In contrast to other growing mediums Coco Peat is truly a renewable resource.
