Coco coir, derived from coconut husks, is a versatile and sustainable plant-growing medium. It comes in various forms such as bricks, fibers, and peat.

Known for its superb water retention and aeration properties, coco coir benefits plants by providing moisture even during dry spells and preventing waterlogging. Its pH neutrality suits a wide range of plants, and its sustainable sourcing supports eco-friendly gardening.

It also has low a EC (Electrical Conductivity) level and a high CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity).

A common ratio for rehydrating coco coir is around 5:1, which means for every 5 parts of water, you would use 1 part of dry coco coir.

However, it's important to add water gradually and observe the expansion of the coir. You want to achieve a fluffy and well-aerated texture, so you may need to adjust the amount of water based on the specific coir you're using and the desired consistency.

Keep in mind that the quality of coco coir and its water retention capacity can vary, so it's a good practice to monitor the expansion and moisture content as you add water to ensure you achieve the right balance for your plants' needs.

How much water do you need to add to a 10 Lb/ 5 kg Block of coco coir?

A typical 10 lb coco coir brick can expand significantly, usually into several cubic feet of hydrated coir. To give you a rough idea, you might start by adding around 2.5 to 3 gallons (9.5 to 11.4 liters) of water to the 10 lb brick.

How much water do you need to add to a 650 gram brick of coco coir?

For a 650g brick of coco coir, you might start by adding approximately 3250g (3.25 liters) of water, it could potentially expand to a volume of around 3.25 to 4.55 liters (0.85 to 1.2 gallons) when fully rehydrated, assuming an expansion ratio of 5 to 7.

How much water do you need to add to a 250 gram brick or coco coir?

For a 250 gram brick of coco coir, you might consider adding approximately 1.25 liters (about 0.33 gallons) of water to rehydrate it. Tt could potentially expand to a volume of approximately 1.25 to 1.75 liters (about 0.33 to 0.46 gallons) when fully rehydrated.

We source our coconuts from various places that are far from the ocean. Typically they would end up in landfills.

After the husk is immersed in water for 6 weeks, the fiber is extracted mechanically, and the pith is left behind stored in heaps to age. After that we sift out rocks and other debris multiple times to insure we have the best consistency.

We then rinse it at least three times in fresh water to remove any excess salt content before compressing it into easy to handle bricks.

Yes, it is a completely sustainable alternative to peat moss. Many people like using it more than peat moss, as it can be re-used with the same effectiveness.

For rinsing the answer is it depends, you can rinse it in hot water (not boiling) before use to help wash out any excess sodium that may have built up.

For buffering: It is also recommended to pre-soak the coir for 12-24 hours with a buffering solution high in calcium; this displaces the sodium and balances the naturally occurring potassium.

Yes! It is a great medium for worm bins, simply rinse it before use and let it dry a little bit.

Coco coir is a natural product and therefore wont expand the exact same amount each time, but we can provide some pridictable ranges.

The 10 lb blocks should expand to 2.2 - 2.5 cubic feet.

The 650 gram bricks should expand to .25 - .32 cubic feet.

The 250 gram bricks should expand to .08 - .12 cubit feet.

It should be 100% fiber with no chips. If you'd like Coco Bliss Chips, we offer them in 10lb bricks as well.

Plantonix Myco Bliss is a specific blend of 5 different mycorrhizal fungi designed to supercharge your plant’s rhizosphere for maximum nutrient absorption.

Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with your plant, delivering specific nutrients to your plant in exchange for plant sugars.

The addition of mycorrhizal fungi to your soil increases the absorption area of roots upwards of 1000 times compared to no mycorrhizal fungi being present.

Plantonix Myco Bliss contains 200 propagules per gram of the following species:

Rhizophagus irregularis

Rhizophagus aggregatus

Rhizophagus proliferum

Rhizophagus clarus

Claroideodglomus etunicatum

Powder: dissolves easily in water, smaller particles.
Granular: larger particles, not as easy to dissolve (think slow release).
Liquid: pre-mixed concentrate to be diluted in water.

Perlite Bliss is a horticultural grade medium-course perlite. It is a naturally occurring siliceous (high in silica) rock that when heated to 1600° F expands up to 20 times its original volume.

This kilning process is very similar to popping popcorn and produces a growing media that is sterile and has a neutral pH of 7.0.

The exceptional physical properties of this perlite make it great for adding porosity to soil and soilless mixes.

This will vary based on the growing medium from 15% - 50%. Be sure to follow the mix ratio, watering, and feeding recommendations for your specific plant and growing conditions

For Potting Media: You can mix Perlite up to 50% with Coco Bliss, compost, or peat moss. We recommend 60% Coco Bliss and 40% Perlite Bliss. For medium to heavy clay loam soils, mix 25-40% Perlite.

-Step 1: Mix perlite with Coco Bliss, compost, or bark to make a clean, soilless growing medium.

-Step 2: Spread an even layer of Perlite over the surface into the top several inches to lighten the soil and add aeration or improve drainage.

Hydroponics: Perlite can be used as the sole medium or some combination of Coco Bliss and Perlite. Perlite is not a plant food replacement.

As these are natrally produced products, some variations can occur during production. This can mean that your bag of worm bliss from batch A may weight differently from batch B, due to density, moisture, and a myriad of other factors.

We sell by volume for these products because it is a more accurate measurement of what you are receiving.

Char Bliss is a soil amendment that improves soil function. Our Char bliss is made from 100% soft wood and tree trimmings.

Using Char Bliss can improve water retention, increase the CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity: The ability to hold onto and transfer nutrient cations: ammonium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium) of the soil.

It is best to add Char Bliss in small amounts every year and allow it to slowly build up in the soil where it gets charged with nutrients and soil life.

Depending on the soil type and pH, the crops you are growing, and the other additives, nutrients, and inoculants, you may add as little as 1% and as much as 20%. A small amount of biochar banded under seeds where it will work in the root zone can be very effective. Up to 20% biochar added to container media along with appropriate nutrients can also work well.
