PLAGRON COCO PREMIUM 50 LITRE

Description

Plagron Coco Premium 50 Litre is a high-quality washed and buffered coco coir growing medium from Plagron, providing a thoroughly processed substrate ready for immediate use in coco-based indoor growing systems. We have been recommending Plagron growing media to UK coco growers since 2017 as a consistently high-quality Dutch growing medium that provides reliable, repeatable performance from batch to batch.

Premium Coco Processing for Reliable Growing Results

Plagron Coco Premium is produced through an extensive processing programme that distinguishes it from cheaper coco products. The raw coco coir is triple-washed to remove the sodium and potassium salts naturally accumulated in coconut husk fibre during coastal coconut cultivation. These salts, if not removed, interfere with nutrient balance in the root zone — displacing calcium and disrupting the mineral ratios your plants depend on for healthy growth. The subsequent calcium buffering process pre-saturates the coco’s cation exchange sites with calcium, preventing the plant-available calcium in your nutrient solution from being captured by the medium rather than absorbed by roots.

The result of this thorough processing is a coco substrate that behaves predictably from first use — without the calcium lock-up, sodium flush phase, and growing medium-induced deficiencies that affect unbuffered coco products, particularly in the first two weeks of a new growing cycle. This predictability makes your feeding programme more reliable and reduces the management complexity of the first weeks of each grow.

Physical Characteristics and Compatibility

Plagron Coco Premium has a consistent, open-fibre texture that provides good air-to-water ratio for frequent watering approaches used in coco cultivation. It is compatible with all coco-specific nutrient programmes and growing systems. Available in 50-litre bags suitable for filling multiple medium-to-large pots or a batch of smaller containers.

Pairs with Plagron Coco nutrients, DutchPro or Shogun coco base nutrients, calcium-magnesium supplement and your chosen additive programme. A reliable and well-processed premium coco medium for UK indoor cultivators.
