Coco-based substrate – Cocos Premium
With Plagron Cocos Premium, you bring the ultimate base for your plants. This high-class coco substrate is purified and buffered to an extreme, suitable for rapid growth. Being exceptionally structured, it renders a perfect air-and-water balance for the roots, ensuring full vigor of cell formation. Thus, these plants stand apart from the other ones that have not undergone such triple buffering, whereby the loss of excessive sodium, potassium, and chlorides present naturally within coco is prevented. This one-of-a-kind treatment enables 95% nutrient absorption, reduces calcium deficiency risk, and maintains a pH-stability from 5.8 through 6.8 throughout the plant life.
The substrates’ optimum physical qualities are in conjunction with their unique structures. It is composed of 70% peat and 30% fiber. This blend forms an ideal environment for plant growth, providing 30% better air-circulation than other similar products. The substrate holds water very well, with 1 kilogram of substrate able to retain 850 ml of water. The vast network of pore space in this product provides a 360-degree ventilation of the root system that contributes to the healthy development of plants.

How to Use Cocos Premium
As the substrate is being prepared for use, it must be prepared correctly. It is advisable to wet the substrate using water with a pH of around 5.8-6.0 without pressing it down as it is.
Initial preparation:
- Hand mix the substrate
- Wet with water (pH 5.8 to 6.0) Do NOT compact!!
Planting/transplanting:
- Seeds: 1-2 cm indentations
- Keep roots intact when transplanting
Watering schedule:
- Days 1-3: normal water
- From day 4: use Cocos A+B (EC 1.2-1.4)
- pH: 5.8-6.2 (Check once daily)
Attention! Do not apply any organic amendments throughout the two initial weeks. Harsh moisture levels are not comfortable for use and control temperature levels between 20-25°C.
Being the best choice ever, Plagron Cocos Premium boasts a special composition of 70% peat + 30% fiber, which supports root aeration and moisture regulation. Also different from other alternatives is its high pH stability (± 0.3) and low initial EC (0.2 mS/cm), thereby making it less challenging for plants to get stressed.
