Gold Label HydroCoco 80/20 Mix (45L/50L) Clay Pebble Coir Hydroponic Substrate
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.
