Frequently Asked Questions

What is the coir-to-perlite ratio in Seventy Thirty?

It's the classic 70:30 split, 70% buffered coconut coir to 30% perlite, weighted toward coir's water-holding capacity. That ratio has been a standard reference point in coir-based growing media for years.

How much prep does this media need before use?

None, it's sold ready to use straight from the bag without an additional buffering step. That saves a prep step compared with raw, unbuffered coir bricks.

Is Seventy Thirty better for moisture retention or drainage?

It leans toward moisture retention given the higher coir ratio, though the 30% perlite content still provides meaningful drainage. Growers wanting more aeration might look at a more balanced coir-to-perlite blend instead.

What container setups work well with this media?

It suits indoor and outdoor containers running a customized feeding schedule, where the grower controls nutrient delivery separately from the media itself. Pot size and drainage holes still matter alongside the media choice.
