Coco Nutrients and Coco Coir
Coco nutrients or other nutrients are very important especially when growing plants in a medium that is not soil. Coco Coir is a good alternative to soil and makes for a good growing medium. Coco coir is made out of a fibre extracted from the outside of a coconut and makes for an environmentally friendly choice. There are different types of Coco Coir you can buy that are already processed. These are Coco pith, Coco fibres and Coco chips. Coco pith has a moss like consistency and can hold water extremely well. When using Coco pith you should be extra careful not to overwater and drown your plants. Coco fibre can not hold a lot of water but is great for allowing oxygen to pass through to the roots because it naturally has a lot of air pockets. Coco chips combine the strengths of both Coco pith and coco fibres. Coco chips are chunks of coir that both retain water well and allow for plenty of oxygen to pass to the roots.

Coco Nutrients: Why they are important and what they are
Coco nutrients should be added to the coir to make sure your plants get all the nutrients they need. The advantage of using coco coir is that you are in complete control of what nutrients you want your plants to have access to. On the other hand, this also means you have to be extra careful and diligent to make sure that your plants get everything they need to grow, stay healthy, and flourish. Coco coir’s pH value is very close to neutral it is however still necessary to stabilise it over time, this can be done by using additives and coco nutrients. With Bac’s Coco nutrients this process is made easy and you can be sure that your plants get all the nutrients they need.
