Compressed coco potting soil (0.6 kg briquette, which expands to 10 liters of soil when hydrated) is a versatile, clean, and airy growing medium. It is ideal for germinating seeds, planting flower bulbs, repotting houseplants, and improving the physical properties of garden soil. The coco fiber (with a fraction size of 0.5–1 mm) ensures excellent air and moisture balance for plant roots, preventing root suffocation and waterlogging.
The product is enriched with a balanced NPK 20:20:20 + TE (trace elements) starter fertilizer (5 g per briquette). This equal nutrient ratio provides young plants with a strong start:
-
Nitrogen (N) supports the rapid growth of initial leaves and shoots.
-
Phosphorus (P) helps young plants develop a strong and vigorous root system.
-
Potassium (K) regulates the plant’s water balance and increases resistance to stress and diseases.
The substrate’s pH level ranges from 5.2–6.8, which is optimal and suitable for most common garden crops and houseplants. The high organic matter content (92.3%) improves soil structure.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Place the 0.6 kg coco briquette into a sufficiently large container (e.g., a bucket or planting box).
-
Pour 3 liters of lukewarm water over the briquette.
-
Wait approximately 15 minutes until the coco fiber absorbs the water and fully expands.
-
Before use, thoroughly mix the substrate by hand to ensure a uniform texture.
-
Use pure coco potting soil for starting seeds and cuttings, or mix it with regular garden soil in equal parts (1:1) to loosen garden beds. It is also suitable for mulching shrubs and plants.Safety and Storage: When handling the product, wear gardening gloves and follow general hygiene practices. Keep out of reach of children. Store the briquette in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
Tips and recommendations:
-
Using lukewarm water is important as it significantly speeds up the briquette’s expansion process and immediately provides a suitable warm environment for germinating seeds.
-
If you mix coco potting soil with regular planting peat, you prevent soil compaction and crust formation on the surface. This makes subsequent watering of houseplants and annuals much easier, as water absorbs evenly.
-
If the entire 10 liters of substrate are not used at once, store the remaining expanded mass in a tightly sealed plastic bag to prevent it from drying out until the next use.
