Use Guide
Flexible format for blending and custom growing media.
The 5 kg block format works across commercial potting operations, propagation trays, and retail consumer markets.
Commercial Potting Mix
Rehydrate and blend with perlite (80:20) for a lightweight, free-draining potting mix. Ideal for nurseries running high-volume propagation lines.
Propagation Trays
Fill 50- or 84-cell trays directly from hydrated block material. Ultra-low native EC avoids nutrient lock-out in sensitive seedling roots.
Retail & Hobby
Compact 5 kg format ships efficiently as a retail consumer product. One block produces ~70 L of growing medium — equivalent to 3–4 standard potting bags.
Hydration Guide
Add water. Break apart. Adjust.
Three steps from a compressed block to 70–75 L of ready-to-use coir growing medium.
01
Add Water
Place block in a container. Pour 15–18 L of clean water (EC ≤ 0.5) over the block. Allow 15–20 minutes for full absorption.
02
Break & Loosen
Once hydrated, break apart manually or with a fork. Fluff to remove compaction. Medium is ready for direct use or blending.
03
Adjust if Needed
Test EC and pH of the hydrated medium. If EC exceeds 1.0, rinse with additional water. Target pH 5.8–6.5 before adding nutrients.
