The Best Coco Mix for Indoor and Greenhouse Growers

Looking for the ideal soilless substrate for cultivating fast-growing plants? Ecothrive Coco Lite, our premium 70/30 coco coir and perlite mix, is the perfect choice. Offering superior aeration for healthy roots and quicker drainage than pure coco mixes, this ready-to-use, pre-buffered premium coco blend is particularly well-suited to growers using automatic irrigation systems such as drippers or flood and drain hydroponics.

Enriched with Ecothrive Charge:

The inclusion of Ecothrive Charge counteracts coco’s natural tendency to hold on to calcium, magnesium and nitrogen, promoting nutrient uptake and healthy growth.

Perfectly Balanced 70/30 Mix:

Perlite increases the amount of air within the mix and reduces the water holding capacity. This creates a lighter mix with better drainage and improved resistance to compaction. Plants grown in Ecothrive Coco Lite will be far less prone to the effects of over-watering than pure coco coir.

Clean and Pre- Buffered:

Premium quality coco, thoroughly cleaned and buffered, guarantees a low EC for immediate nutrient absorption.

The Best Coco Mix for Indoor and Greenhouse Growers

Ecothrive Coco Lite stands apart from other coco coir mixes: It’s enriched with Ecothrive Charge, our signature natural soil conditioner and biostimulant. This unique addition of insect frass encourages rapid root development and provides a crucial source of slow release, broad spectrum nutrition that’s particularly beneficial to seedlings and cuttings.

What the growers say: Growers report quicker plant establishment and more vigorous growth and development with none of the tell-tale signs of the cation competition (calcium, magnesium and nitrogen clawback) that’s often characteristic of lower quality coco-based soilless potting mixes.

The Best Start for Seedlings and Transplants: Fresh transplants, seedlings, and cuttings thrive right from the start and through to harvest.

Sustainable and Reusable: Produced using renewable resources, and can be reused multiple times without any loss of quality.

Application and Usage Recommendations

Indoor Cultivation

Perfect for high-performance indoor and greenhouse cultivators seeking vigorous growth.

Simply pour out the bag into a pot, break any compressed lumps, settle the mix by tapping the edges and base of the pot, and plant up.

Hydroponic Systems

Its excellent drainage and aeration make it excellent for automated hydroponic setups.

Compatible with coco-specific nutrient formulations. Always irrigate with nutrient solution and achieve a 25 – 30% run-off every time.

Outdoor Gardens

Versatile enough to be used outdoors as a soil amendment, enhancing sandy soils with superior water retention.

Seedlings and Cuttings

Pre-moisten coco in nursery pots with a mild nutrient solution, no greater than an EC of 1.2 (mS/cm) before planting.
