Plant Magic – Coco Block 70L

Plant Magic – Coco Block 70L

The Plant Magic 70 litre Coco Block is the new solution for quick and easy plant care. The blocks have a compact design for storing and transporting them when not in use.

Plant Magic’s 70 litre Coco Block is designed to be highly efficient at retaining water, air, and nutrients. Its simple ingredients list ensures growers have full control over the nutritional uptake of their crops.

The blocks are made of coconut husk sourced from India’s leading coir producer for the horticulture industry. Coir is an inert media, meaning that unlike soil, it does not naturally contain all the nutrients and microorganisms which plants need to thrive. It is naturally high in salts, which damage the root network and eventually kill the plant. But, unlike some other substrates, coconut husk is also a highly absorbent material, meaning less water and nutrients drain away before they are taken by the plants.

The coir is buffered with a calcium-magnesium solution to remove excess salts, lowering the media’s EC. It is also treated to ensure it is free of pathogens, odours, roots, and other impurities often found in coco media. Coir gives growers complete control over their growing media’s nutritional values, as every nutrient must be added by hand.

Unlike other brands of coco-based substrate, Plant Magic 70 litre Coco Blocks are not heat treated. This protects the coco’s beneficial fungi known as Trichoderma, allowing them to thrive in the substrate. Trichoderma colonise the rootzone and use enzymes to degrade harmful fungus types and outcompete pathogens for space and nutrients. This promotes plant growth by creating a pathogen-free microbiome through which the root network continuously develops and flourishes.

As it does not naturally contain all the plant food and microorganisms a plant needs to thrive, each nutrient needs to be added to the substrate directly by the grower. Its absorbency makes it the perfect growing media for plants requiring exact nutritional levels and environmental stability, which soil may not provide.

The Plant Magic 70 litre Coco Block is easy and simple to use, requiring only a short amount of time, water, and nutrients to get started. Simply add water and wait for the substrate to expand. Once expanded, add Plant Magic base nutrients to give your plants the greatest head-start in their first few weeks of root development.
