ABOUT THIS ITEM

Product Details

  • A 70/30 starting blend — Coconut coir and horticultural perlite are supplied together in a 70/30 formulation. Hydrate fully and mix evenly before filling your pots or growing containers.

  • Four separate portions — The pack contains four 650g portions, each producing approximately 8 litres. Prepare one or several for your project and keep the remaining portions dry.

  • Structure around the roots — Perlite contributes to an open growing mix alongside moisture-retentive coir. Container depth, particle distribution and packing all affect air space and drainage.

  • Hydrate, loosen, redistribute — Add water according to the pack and allow the coir to expand. Loosen compacted areas, then gently redistribute the perlite so the mix is consistent throughout.

  • Provide balanced nutrition — Neither the blend ratio nor perlite provides a complete feeding programme. Choose suitable nutrients for your crop, water supply and stage of plant development.

  • Water to the plant’s needs — Check moisture within the container and let surplus water drain. Adjust irrigation as plants establish and weather changes, rather than following a fixed calendar.

Substrate Science

The coir fraction retains moisture, while perlite contributes larger pores and air space after drainage. The resulting balance depends on particle size, mixing, packing and container depth.

Perlite is an expanded mineral, not a fertiliser. Hydrate and mix the blend evenly, then manage water and nutrition together. A 70/30 recipe does not set a fixed air or water percentage in the pot.

  • Coir holds moisture

    Water is retained within the coir fraction.

  • Perlite adds structure

    Mineral particles contribute pore space.

  • Manage the whole system

    Container, irrigation and feed work together.

Product FAQ

What does 70/30 mean?

It describes the supplied formulation: 70% coco coir and 30% horticultural perlite. It does not mean the finished pot has 30% air space; pore space depends on several physical factors.

Does each portion make 10 litres?

No. For this coir-perlite product, each 650g portion makes approximately 8 litres. The four-portion pack produces around 32 litres in total.

Do I need to add more perlite?

The product already contains perlite. Use the supplied blend where suitable, or adjust only where your crop and growing system require a different structure.

Is it ready to use straight from the pack?

Hydrate the compressed material first, following the pack directions. Loosen fully and redistribute the perlite throughout before filling pots.

Will the mix feed my plants?

Use a separate, balanced feeding programme appropriate to the crop. Perlite is a mineral component used for structure, not a complete source of plant nutrition.

Can I use it in a hydroponic system?

It can suit container systems designed for coir-perlite media. Check your equipment requirements, drainage and feed strategy; the blend is not suitable for every hydroponic method.
