Plagron Hydro Cocos 60/40

Plagron Hydro Cocos 60/40 Premium Substrate | High-Aeration Professional Growing Medium

Unlock explosive root development and reliable moisture control with Plagron Hydro Cocos 60/40—a premium, RHP-certified hybrid medium trusted by professional cultivators worldwide. By blending 60% pure, sterile clay pebbles (8-16mm) with 40% of Plagron's high-quality, pre-washed, and buffered coco coir, this mix delivers the ultimate balance of rapid water drainage and stable moisture retention.

With a highly stable, low initial EC (0.4 - 0.8 mS/cm), Plagron offers a incredibly safe, gentle, and buffered environment, giving you total control over your nutrient ratios while preventing salt burn on sensitive root systems.

📦 Please Note: All Custom Sizes are Professionally Decanted

To provide you with the exact volume you need for your project, our 1L, 5L, 10L, and 20L options are carefully hand-decanted from original bulk commercial sacks into clean, unbranded, secure packaging.

One Bag, Two Powerful Applications:

1. The Low-Maintenance Standalone Hydro & Semi-Hydro Medium

The ultimate choice for passive hydroponics, active reservoirs, and self-watering planters (like Lechuza). The 40% premium coco coir acts as an exceptional capillary wick, providing a highly stable, forgiving moisture buffer so you don't have to water constantly. Meanwhile, the 60% porous clay pebbles create huge, uncollapsible air pockets to deliver maximum oxygen directly to the root zone.

2. The Ultimate "No-Rot" Chunky Soil Upgrade (The Premium Amendment)

If you are blending your own custom potting mixes for tropical houseplants, Plagron 60/40 is the perfect structural upgrade.

Why it beats cheap Perlite & Bark: Standard perlite eventually floats to the top, turns yellow, and blows away. Orchid bark decays and compacts over time, choking out oxygen. Plagron's clay pebbles never decay, never float, and provide permanent, lifetime aeration channels in your soil.

How to Mix: Blend 1 part Plagron 60/40 with 2 parts of your standard potting soil to instantly double the drainage, protect against root rot, and shield your most expensive plants.

Perfect For High-Value & Sensitive Species:

Thanks to its sterile, buffered, and low-EC formulation, this clean medium is the ultimate safe-haven for delicate, rot-prone, and salt-sensitive plants:

Rare Alocasias & Jewel Alocasias: (Black Velvet, Frydek, Jacklyn, and Polly—absolutely thrive on the rapid wet-dry cycles of the clay pebbles)

Anthuriums & Philodendrons: (Warocqueanum, Regale, and Melanochrysum thrive when roots can freely wind and cling to the airy clay pebbles)

Monsteras: (Albo, Thai Constellation, and Esqueleto benefit from the massive, uncollapsible aeration that keeps their thick roots healthy)

Hoyas & Orchid Species: (Highly sensitive to overwatering; thrives in this fast-draining, airy environment)

Why Plagron Outperforms Standard 60/40 Blends:

RHP-Certified Quality: Evaluated from source to bag to ensure it is completely free from pathogens, weeds, and harmful chemical residues, offering a clean start for sensitive root systems.

Highly Stable, Low EC: Perfectly pre-washed and buffered to ensure low salt levels, eliminating the risk of initial nutrient lockout or root burn.

Premium Long-Fiber Coco: Made of highly stable coco fibers that will not break down into a muddy, oxygen-starved sludge at the bottom of the pot over time.

Boutique Sizes to Bulk Trade Sacks: Hand-decanted into convenient smaller volumes (1L, 5L, 10L, 20L) perfect for upgrading prized collector plants on a shelf, up to original bulk trade sacks (50L).
