Gold Label HydroCoco 80/20 – Fast-Drainage Semi-Hydro Mix for Aroids

⚪ Type: Unfertilised / Blank Canvas
No nutrients have been added at all. This gives you total control over feeding from day one, with zero risk of the substrate fighting your own nutrient plan. The tradeoff: you must start feeding immediately — there's no built-in safety net if you forget or under-feed early on.

Gold Label Hydrococo 80/20 Premium Substrate | Ultimate Fast-Drainage Active Hydro & Custom Aroid Base

Push your plant cultivation further with Gold Label Hydrococo 80/20 — a specialized, premium-grade hybrid medium designed for maximum irrigation control and strong root growth. By combining 80% RHP-certified, irregular "Hydrocorn" clay pebbles (8-16mm) with 20% of naturally buffered Coco Coir, this mix is engineered for high-performance setups and custom soil blending alike.

The 80/20 split drains with the speed of pure clay pebbles, but carries a 20% coco safety net that acts as a moisture buffer — protecting your roots from drying out without risking overwatering.

Please Note: All custom sizes (1L, 5L, 10L, and 20L) are carefully hand-decanted from original bulk commercial sacks into clean, resealed packaging.

One Bag, Two Powerful Applications:

1. Engineered for Automated Hydroponic Systems

A strong choice for active automated systems, including IWS systems, active drip irrigation, and Flood & Drain setups.

• Tune Your Irrigation: Because the medium is light and porous, you can increase your feeding frequency to multiple times a day to boost your plant's growth rate.

• The Life-Saving Buffer: Unlike straight clay pebbles, the 20% coco coir ensures that if a pump fails or power cuts out, your roots retain enough moisture to survive until you fix the issue.

2. A Premium "Chunky Mix" Raw Material (For Custom DIY Soils)

If you enjoy mixing your own potting substrates, this is a great base.

• The "No-Float, No-Rot" Alternative: Standard perlite eventually floats to the top and discolours; orchid bark rots down and compacts. The 80% Hydrocorn pebbles give you permanent, lifetime aeration channels that won't degrade, float, or decay.

• How to Mix: Blend Gold Label 80/20 with your premium potting compost to instantly create a chunkier, highly oxygenated potting soil.

Perfect For Air-Loving Species:

• Rare Anthuriums & Philodendrons: Warocqueanum, Regale, and Veitchii — whose thick roots naturally demand open, coarse structures to cling onto.

• Alocasias: Particularly delicate species like Alocasia Variegata, which will rot instantly in heavy soils.

• Hoyas & Orchid Species: Replicates the breezy, tree-climbing environment they thrive in.

Technical Specifications:

• Composition: 80% RHP-Certified Gold Label Hydrocorn (8–16mm irregular pebbles) / 20% Pure Coco Coir

• Media Type: Sterile, inert hydroponic/soilless mix (requires liquid feeding)

• Best Suited For: Active hydroponic setups (IWS, Flood & Drain, Drippers), high-frequency feeding, and custom chunkier soil amending.
