GreenPlanet Professional Coco Coir 53L – Buffered Hydroponic Growing Medium
Product Overview
GreenPlanet Professional Coco Coir 53L is a ready-to-use, 100% coco coir growing medium designed for hydroponic, indoor and greenhouse cultivation.
The coconut fibre is fresh-water processed, triple-washed and pre-buffered with calcium and magnesium to create a clean, consistent root-zone environment. Its balanced water-holding capacity and air porosity help roots remain evenly moist while receiving the oxygen required for healthy development.
GreenPlanet Professional Coco contains no added perlite or large coco chips, giving growers greater control over irrigation, drainage and nutrient management. The manufacturer specifies a root-zone pH range of approximately 5.8–6.3 with minimal drift.
Because coco coir is not a complete fertiliser, plants should be fed with a suitable coco-specific nutrient program throughout the growing cycle.

Benefits
Supports Healthy Root Development
The porous coco structure maintains moisture while allowing oxygen to circulate around the root zone, supporting vigorous root growth when irrigation is correctly managed.
Consistent Nutrient Management
Pre-buffering with calcium and magnesium helps prepare the medium for more predictable nutrient uptake and reduces the initial binding of these important elements.
Reliable Moisture Distribution
High water-holding capacity helps maintain consistent moisture throughout the container, reducing excessively dry areas around developing roots.
Greater Irrigation Control
The clean, uniform medium is suitable for precision feeding programs, allowing growers to adjust nutrient strength, pH and irrigation frequency for different crops and growth stages.
Suitable Applications
GreenPlanet Professional Coco Coir can be used for:
- Hydroponic growing systems
- Drain-to-waste irrigation
- Recirculating systems
- Drip irrigation

- Vegetables, herbs, flowers and ornamental plants
- Coco-based growing-medium blends
How to Use
- Open the bag and gently loosen the coco without heavily compacting it.
- Fill the pot, grow bag or planting container with the medium.
- Pre-moisten evenly using a correctly prepared coco nutrient solution.
- Transplant the seedling or established plant into the container.
- Water thoroughly and ensure the container has adequate drainage.
- Feed with a complete coco-specific nutrient program.
- Regularly monitor nutrient-solution and root-zone pH and EC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GreenPlanet Coco Coir 53L ready to use?
Yes. It is supplied triple-washed and pre-buffered, so it can normally be used directly from the bag after being loosened and evenly pre-moistened.

No. Coco coir is primarily a growing medium and does not replace a complete fertiliser. Use a nutrient formula designed for coco cultivation.
Does it contain perlite?
No. GreenPlanet Professional Coco is made from 100% coco coir without added perlite or large coco chips.
Is it suitable for hydroponics?
Yes. It can be used in drain-to-waste, recirculating, drip-fed and hand-watered hydroponic systems.
What pH should be used with coco coir?
GreenPlanet specifies a root-zone pH range of approximately 5.8–6.3. The ideal target may vary according to the crop and nutrient program, so regular pH and EC monitoring is recommended.
Can GreenPlanet Coco Coir be reused?
The medium may be reused when it has been thoroughly cleaned, correctly reconditioned and remains free from root disease or contamination. Crop hygiene should always be prioritised.
