The perfect blend for water retention, drainage & aeration

Nutrifield’s Coco Premium Perlite Blend 70/30 contains a blend of 70% coco coir and 30% perlite which presents many advantages for the modern gardener. As drainage and air flow are improved, more aggressive feeding programs can be implemented without fear of overwatering. Drainage capacity is optimised, so fear of overwatering will be a thing of the past. Plants get constant supply of fresh, cool air and as much nutrients as the coco coir can hold while the excess flows through. The increased air flow within the medium allows for greater root transpiration, respiration, and feeding which accelerates growth.

DYNAMIC GROWING CONDITIONS IN ANY CLIMATE

Perlite is a mass of small spheroids made from heating natural volcanic glass. It is pH neutral and is an excellent insulator thereby boosting plant resistance and tolerance to extreme temperatures. Plant roots are able to breathe better in cool air, where oxygen is more accessible, which helps them better withstand extreme conditions.

INCREASED AIR FLOW TO THE ROOT ZONE

Inbound air flow to the rhizosphere is accentuated by the numerous air pockets perlite creates while coco coir retains moisture which helps cool the air. Nutrifield’s Coco Premium Perlite Blend 70/30 does not compact so air flow is maximised making oxygen more available to plants thereby creating an environment for plants to thrive in.

EXCEPTIONAL DRAINAGE WHILE RETAINING ESSENTIAL MOISTURE

Coco coir is well known for its superior water-holding capabilities, while perlites drainage properties are second to none. The combination of coco and perlite permits excess water and unused nutrient solution to drain away more freely while still maintaining the essential amount of moisture needed for ideal growing conditions which permits more aggressive feeding.

Key Benefits

• Pre buffered to prevent nutrient lock out that would result in plant deficiencies
• pH Stabilised for optimum nutrient uptake resulting in ideal growth
• Allows high water absorption and maintains the essential air ratio for rapid growth and improved root structure guarantying hazard free growing under a range of various conditions
• 100% natural and bio degradable medium that is easy to dispose of and environmentally friendly
• Clean and free from pests allowing the plant to concentrate its energy on growth rather than fighting pests or diseases benefiting in healthy plants and improved yields
• Carries RHP stamp of quality to guarantee the consistency of the product and ensure you receive the same standard of results time and time again (#036ST09)
• High nutrient holding and exchange capacity that facilitates rapid nutrient uptake 

Technical details

Nutrifield’s NF Premium Coco is your ultimate organic based growing medium. The medium is produced from coconut husks following a precise ageing and treatment process. The coco coir consists of 45% cellulose material to ensure long lasting physical properties preventing the media from decomposing or compacting during use.

Nutrifield NF Premium Coco is pre-buffered to prevent calcium and magnesium lock out. Lock out occurs due to the coco coir having a negatively charged complex that is surrounded primarily by sodium and potassium. This becomes an issue when the fertilising begins as the sodium and potassium will be exchanged with calcium and magnesium. The consequences would results in a calcium and magnesium deficiency for your plants. The problem is solved with Nutrifield NF Premium Coco. The pre-buffering prevents this occurrence and also stabilises the mediums pH while reducing the EC reading to less than 0.7 mS/cm.
Plants have complex air-water requirements and due to Nutrifield NF Premium Coco’s physical attributes, it allows for large water absorption while ensuring the essential 30% air porosity is maintained. This facilitates ideal rhizospheric growing conditions that are important to develop strong healthy plants.

Nutrifield NF Premium Coco is a clean product that is free from harmful parasites and diseases. Inferior products are enriched with neem as they do not follow strict manufacturing processes and therefore require neem to control diseases and parasites due to their cheap manufacturing practices.

Nutrifield NF Premium Coco carries the RHP stamp of quality. (#036ST09) The RHP Dutch Standard of quality for horticultural substrates ensures a stringently monitored quality homogeneous product that will give you consistent performance. Serious growers rely on the RHP standard as a sign of excellence as only premium products carry the Dutch seal of approval. 

A word about Calcium : Potassium ratio – why is this important?

Nutrifield NF Premium Coco is pre-buffered and has the highest calcium to magnesium ratio of any brand available in the U.K. This pre-buffering helps to prevent lock out. Lock out occurs due to the coco coir having a negatively charged complex that is surrounded primarily by sodium and potassium. This becomes an issue when fertilizing begins as the sodium and potassium will be exchanged with calcium and magnesium. Consequently this will result in a calcium and magnesium deficiency in your favorite plants. The problem is solved with Nutrifield NF Premium Coco. The pre-buffering prevents this occurrence and also stabilizes the mediums pH while reducing the EC.
