BioNova Cocomix Plus 50L

Product detailed description

BioNova Cocomix Plus is a natural 100% coconut substrate of the highest quality, suitable even for vegan plant cultivation. The substrate is made from crushed and sieved coconut fibres from palms originating in Sri Lanka.

Substrate properties

The substrate is washed and buffered to pH 6.5 and supplied in recyclable plastic bags ready for immediate use. The ideally balanced ratio of coconut fibres with different granularity ensures suitable growing conditions for plants.

• Very airy substrate - up to 15% less settling compared with other coconut substrates
• Excellent pH stability thanks to high-quality processing
• Excellent capillary rise of irrigation water in the capillary pores throughout the entire growing cycle
• 100% compostable, without chemicals or animal residues
• Suitable even for vegan growing of plants and vegetables
• RHP certification (Certified for Horticulture R-039)

How to fertilise the substrate

Coconut substrate does not contain a reserve of nutrients on its own, so fertilising is necessary from the first watering. For cultivation in BioNova Cocomix Plus, we recommend the two-part fertiliser Coco Forte A+B, which is intended directly for coconut substrates, together with PK 13-14 throughout the flowering period. Coconut tends to bind calcium and magnesium, so with harder water or RO water it is recommended to supplement Ca 15 and MgO 10.

Frequently asked questions

Which fertiliser should be used with Cocomix Plus?

The substrate is purely coconut with no nutrient reserve, so fertilise from the start of cultivation. We recommend the two-part Coco Forte A+B together with PK 13-14 throughout the flowering period.

What are the substrate pH and EC?

The substrate is washed and buffered to pH 6.5, the initial EC is 0.2. Thanks to buffering, it holds pH well throughout the cycle.

Is it necessary to supplement calcium and magnesium with coconut?

Coconut fibres naturally bind calcium and magnesium, so especially when watering with soft/RO water we recommend supplementing the substrate with Ca 15 and MgO 10.
