Coco A&B – The Two-Part Coco Coir Nutrient That Knows What Coco Is Actually Like
Coco coir is a wonderful growing medium with one slightly awkward personality trait: it hoards calcium and magnesium and quietly gives back potassium. Feed it with a generic plant food and you're essentially sending a letter addressed to the wrong house. Intense Nutrients Coco A&B is a professional-grade, mineral-based two-part nutrient built specifically around coco's chemistry, so the elements your plants need actually arrive where they're needed.
It contains the full spectrum of macro and micronutrients in a balance that complements coco's natural properties, supporting vigorous leafy growth early on and strong flowering and fruiting later. Expect healthy, deep-green foliage and generous harvests.
Not Just for Hydro Growers
Coco has quietly become the substrate of choice for serious houseplant collectors. Peat-free, airy and endlessly re-wettable, it's what many aroid enthusiasts now pot their Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium and Alocasia into. The catch is that coco contains almost no nutrition of its own, so a coco-specific feed isn't a luxury; it's the other half of the system. The same goes for coco-grown tomatoes, chillies, strawberries and peppers in greenhouses and polytunnels.
Key Benefits

How to Use
Add equal amounts of Part A and Part B to your water, up to a maximum of 5ml of each per litre, until your desired EC is reached. Stir Part A thoroughly into the water before adding Part B. Never mix A and B together undiluted. Check and adjust pH once everything is mixed.
Feeding Schedule
From the official Intense Nutrients coco grow schedule, in ml per litre of water (use equal amounts of Part A and Part B):
| Stage | Coco A&B |
|---|---|
| Leafy growth, weeks 1–2 | 1ml |
| Flowering, weeks 1–2 | 2ml |
| Flowering, weeks 3–6 | 3ml |
| Flowering, week 7 | 1ml |
| Flowering, week 8 | Water only (flush) |
🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: for houseplants in coco, you rarely need the full dose. Start at around a quarter to half strength every other watering and watch the new leaves; if they come in big, glossy and deep green, you've found your sweet spot.
Sizes
Available as 1 Litre, 5 Litre, 10 Litre and 25 Litre A&B sets. Add a measuring syringe for accurate dosing.
