Parameter | Typical Value/Range | Description |
---|---|---|
pH | 5.5–6.5 | Ideal for most plants, providing a slightly acidic to neutral growing environment. |
Electrical Conductivity (EC) | 0.2–0.6 mS/cm (washed) | Indicates the salt content. High EC (>0.6 mS/cm) requires additional washing or buffering. |
Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) | 60–130 meq/100 g | High nutrient retention capacity, allowing slow release of nutrients to plants. |
Water Holding Capacity | 8–10 times its weight | Excellent moisture retention to reduce watering frequency. |
Air-Filled Porosity | ~10–20% | Ensures adequate oxygen availability to plant roots. |
Bulk Density | 0.1–0.2 g/cm³ (dry) | Lightweight when dry, making it easy to transport and handle. |
Organic Matter | 90–95% | Composed mainly of organic lignin and cellulose. |
Decomposition Rate | Slow | Breaks down slowly, maintaining structure for extended periods. |
Salt Content | Depends on quality (washed/unwashed) | Unwashed coco peat can contain high sodium and potassium; requires buffering. |
Pore Space | ~95% | High porosity improves root aeration and drainage. |
Reusability | 2–3 growing cycles | Can be reused after proper cleaning and sterilization. |
pH Buffering Capacity | Moderate | Can resist minor pH fluctuations, maintaining stability in the root zone. |
How to Use – Compressed Coco Perlite 70/30 (650g Block)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Place the Block in a Large Container
Use a clean bucket or tub large enough to hold the expanded volume (approx. 6–7 liters).
2. Add Water
Pour 3 to 4 liters of clean, lukewarm water evenly over the block.
(Tip: Use slightly less water first, then add more if needed.)
3. Let It Expand
Allow the block to sit and absorb water for 15–30 minutes.
4. Fluff and Break Apart
After expansion, break the block apart by hand or with a trowel to loosen the mix.
5. Ready to Use
Your hydrated 70/30 coco-perlite blend is now ready to use in pots, seed trays, grow bags, or hydroponic systems.
Usage Tips:
• Suitable for direct sowing, transplanting, or as part of a custom grow mix.
• Ensure containers have proper drainage to avoid waterlogging.
• Can be reused for multiple cycles with proper care.
