PRO7 60/40 CLAY COCO - 45L bag

PRO7 60/40 Clay Coco Premium Substrate | Ultimate High-Drainage & Biological Root Shield Medium

Take control of your plant cultivation with PRO7 60/40 Clay Coco — a premium-grade, highly aerated hybrid medium designed for maximum root performance. By blending 60% European Expanded Clay Pebbles (8–16mm) with 40% Pre-washed & Buffered Coco Coir, this mix delivers unparalleled root oxygenation, making it an excellent defense against overwatering and root rot.

One Bag, Two Powerful Applications:

1. As a Standalone Semi-Hydro & Self-Watering Medium (Ready to Use)

The gold standard for passive hydroponics, active reservoirs, and self-watering planters. The 40% premium coco coir acts like a wick, lifting moisture and liquid nutrients evenly up to the root zone, while the 60% clay pebbles create permanent, massive air pockets — constant hydration without stagnant, oxygen-starved mud.

2. As a Premium "Chunky Mix" Soil Upgrade

Use this bag as a structural additive to supercharge your standard peat or compost potting soils. Mixing this blend into ordinary houseplant soil instantly mimics an open, chunky forest-floor environment. Unlike perlite, these clay pebbles won't float to the top, blow away, or discolour. Unlike orchid bark, they won't rot, decay, or compact over time.

How to Mix: Blend PRO7 60/40 with your standard potting soil to instantly improve drainage, prevent compaction, and keep root rot at bay. Because this amendment is naturally inert, it will slightly dilute your compost's built-in nutrients — we recommend starting your liquid feeding regime slightly earlier than usual.

Perfect For Moisture-Sensitive Species:

• Rare Alocasias: Black Velvet, Frydek, Jacklyn, and Polly thrive in semi-hydro setups where moisture is constant but oxygen is high.

• Anthuriums & Velvet-Leaf Philodendrons: Warocqueanum, Regale, and Melanochrysum thrive when roots can cling to coarse clay pebbles and airy coco fibres.

• Monsteras: Albo, Thai Constellation, and Esqueleto benefit from the uncollapsible aeration that keeps chunky roots healthy.

• Hoyas & Peperomias: Highly sensitive to waterlogging; benefit massively from the rapid dry-out cycle.

• Orchids & Epiphytic Plants: Mimics the airy, bark-like tree environments they naturally grow in.

Key Features & Cultivation Benefits:

• Built-In Biological Root Shield (Trichoderma): This mix naturally encourages beneficial Trichoderma fungi, which colonise your plant's root system and help shield against harmful root-rotting pathogens while supercharging nutrient uptake.

• Permanent, Uncollapsible Structure: Unlike perlite or bark, expanded clay pebbles never break down, float, or rot — the aeration you get on day one is the same years down the line.

• Ready to Use: Professionally pre-washed and buffered for stable pH and EC from day one.

• Boutique Sizes to Commercial Volumes: Available from 1L up to bulk 50L trade sacks.

Technical Specifications:

• Blend: 60% Expanded Clay Pebbles (8–16mm) / 40% Coco Coir

• pH Level: 6.9 ± 0.5 (Buffered and stable)

• EC Value: 1.3 mS/cm

• Organic Matter: 14%

• Dry Matter: 61%

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

How to Use:

Always thoroughly saturate the substrate with a weak nutrient solution before potting up to ensure the coco fibres are fully primed. Because this is an inert, professional medium, it contains no built-in fertilisers — we recommend a high-quality hydro-specific nutrient range such as VitaLink Hydro MAX to feed your plants from day one.
