Tropic 70/30 Cocomix - Premium Coco/Perlite Growing Medium

Type: Lightly pre-charged / low-EC base
A buffered coco/perlite base with a light starter charge (EC 0.6–1.0) built in during manufacture. It's too low to sustain a plant on its own, so start your own feeding early, but it isn't a completely blank canvas either.

Tropic 70/30 Cocomix

Premium results without the premium price tag. A professionally balanced blend of 70% buffered coco coir and 30% perlite, giving you the performance of leading brands at a fraction of the cost.

Why a 70/30 Mix?

• Even moisture: coco holds water evenly through the pot, so roots don't swing from soaked to bone dry.
• Air at the roots: the perlite keeps oxygen pockets open, protecting against waterlogging and root rot.
• Gnat-resistant: clean coco gives fungus gnats far less to breed in than standard peat compost.
• Ready to use: pre-buffered, with no soaking or pre-treatment needed.
• Resists compaction: stays light and airy from the first watering to the last.

Perfect For

• Calathea, Maranta and Stromanthe: prayer plants that need constant, even moisture
• Pothos, Scindapsus, heartleaf Philodendron and Syngonium
• Ferns, Fittonia and Peperomia
• Cuttings and propagation
• Containers, drip-feed and fertigation systems

Potting a Monstera, Alocasia or Anthurium? These chunky-rooted climbers want even more air around their roots. Our LECA & Coco 60/40 mixes are the better match.

Before you buy: the starter charge is light, so a full liquid feed is still needed from day one. Intense Nutrients Coco A&B is a reliable, budget-friendly two-part feed that suits Tropic's value-for-money approach.
