Atami High Porosity Cocos + Perlite 50 L Soil

High Porosity Cocos is another coconut fiber based product from Atami. Based on a high-quality coconut substrate, High Porosity Cocos reinforces the positive properties that pure coconut substrate offers. It is currently one of the most airy coir substrates available on the market.

Atami achieves this great soil aeration by mixing in Perlite. Similar to popcorn, this volcanic rock has popped open and increased in volume through exposure to intense heat. The rock also became porous and can now trap air. Roots need this air for healthy growth. The oxygen in the air is used by the roots to convert sugars into energy. The energy gained is in turn used to drive root growth, which enables higher nutrient uptake. In addition, the air in the soil ensures that the root strands branch out more and the root ends form more hair roots.

Thanks to Atami High Porosity Cocos, the floor has an increased drainage effect and dries faster overall. Therefore, Atami also recommends adjusting the amount of nutrient solution or watering it more often.

The substrate is of course also fully washed, steamed and buffered. The stable PH value and an EC value below 1.5 ensure smooth nutrient absorption. A light pre-fertilization ensures balanced nutrition and good growth in the first week after repotting.
