CANNA COCO NATURAL 50 LITRE

Description

CANNA Coco Natural 50 Litre is a premium, pre-washed and buffered coco coir growing medium that we have been supplying to UK growers since 2017. Produced by CANNA — one of the most respected names in European hydroponics — Coco Natural is manufactured to the exacting standards that CANNA applies to all of its growing media: low EC, pre-buffered with calcium and magnesium to reduce cation exchange competition, and consistent in texture, structure and pH from batch to batch. For growers who want the performance benefits of coco coir without the substrate preparation variability of cheaper unbuffered coco, CANNA Coco Natural is the benchmark product.

What Sets CANNA Coco Natural Apart from Generic Coco

Raw coco coir contains naturally high levels of potassium and sodium in its cation exchange sites, and a high CEC affinity for calcium and magnesium. Unbuffered coco straight from the bag will strip calcium and magnesium from your nutrient solution until its exchange sites are saturated — causing acute deficiency in young plants before the grower realises what is happening. CANNA Coco Natural has been pre-washed to remove excess potassium and sodium, then pre-buffered with a calcium-magnesium solution to pre-charge the CEC sites and reduce subsequent calcium and magnesium stripping to manageable levels. This pre-treatment means plants grown in CANNA Coco Natural from the first watering receive a balanced, available mineral supply rather than experiencing deficiency while the substrate normalises. The consistent, air-retentive structure of CANNA’s coco also promotes superior oxygen levels at the root zone compared to compressed or highly fibrous alternatives.

Usage, Pot Sizing and Nutrient Pairing

Use CANNA Coco Natural straight from the bag — no pre-soaking or additional preparation required due to the factory buffering. Fill containers and transplant directly. For drainage and aeration, optionally blend with 20–30% perlite, particularly in large containers above 20 litres. Use with a dedicated coco nutrient such as CANNA Coco A&B or SHOGUN Samurai Coco A&B and supplement with SHOGUN CalMag or CANNA Cannazym for optimal coco performance.
