HortGrow Coco Blend Bag — 1.5cu ft — 90% Coco Pith / 10% Coco Fiber

A Moisture-Retentive Coco Blend Ready Straight From the Bag

HortGrow Coco Blend Bag is a ready-to-use coco coir growing medium built on a moisture-optimized 90% coco pith / 10% coco fiber ratio, delivering strong water retention and steady moisture distribution from the bag. The high pith content holds water for consistent hydration between irrigation events, while the fiber fraction adds structural support that helps the medium hold its structure through the crop cycle.

Washed and buffered during processing, the Coco Blend Bag is meant for immediate use -- no mixing or measuring required beyond a pre-planting flush to check EC. The 1.5 cubic foot bag size is practical for filling several containers per bag or a single larger growing vessel.

Key Features & Benefits

• 90% Coco Pith / 10% Coco Fiber Ratio: The pith-dominant blend favors moisture retention and steady capillary water distribution, suiting growing environments or crops with moderate to high water demand.
• Washed & Buffered Processing: HortGrow's washing and buffering steps help reduce excess sodium, potassium, and salts from the raw fiber, cutting down on pre-use preparation.
• Ready-to-Use Bagged Format: Pre-mixed and ready to pour into containers, grow bags, or soilless systems -- no measuring or blending required, saving setup time for commercial operations and home growers alike.
• Biologically Compatible Medium: Coco pith supports a healthy beneficial microbial community in the root zone, which can complement microbial inoculants or organic nutrient programs.
• 1.5cu ft Practical Format: A versatile size for filling several smaller containers or a single larger growing vessel.

Who Should Use This

Indoor cultivators who want a simple, ready-to-use moisture-retentive coco medium for container growing, grow bag systems, or any soilless setup where consistent coco quality is a priority.

Compatibility

Compatible with all hydroponic and organic nutrient programs. Flush with pH-adjusted water and confirm runoff EC reads within range before planting. Can be blended with perlite, roughly 20-30% by volume, for growers who want more aeration. Also available as a pre-mixed 70/30 Coco & Perlite Blend for a pre-aerated option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between coco pith and coco fiber?

Coco pith is the fine, sponge-like material from the coconut husk, offering strong water retention and surface area for root activity. Coco fiber consists of the longer, coarser strands, which add structural stability with somewhat less moisture retention than pure pith.

Should I blend this with perlite for better drainage?

If your irrigation runs infrequently or your crop needs extra root-zone oxygen, adding roughly 20-30% perlite by volume improves drainage and aeration. For high-frequency drip programs, the 90/10 blend can be used as-is without added perlite.

Does this coco blend require additional buffering?

HortGrow's coco is buffered during production, but it is still best practice to flush with nutrient solution and check runoff EC before planting. This confirms the medium is primed for your program.

How many containers can I fill with a 1.5cu ft bag?

A 1.5 cubic foot bag holds roughly 42 liters of growing media. That is enough for about four 10-liter containers, three 15-liter containers, or two 20-liter containers, depending on how firmly the media is packed.
