Coco Coir Brick 2.5kg + Perlite 1kg Combo

Product Description

The perfect all-in-one solution for gardeners who want professional results without the guesswork. This pre-calculated bundle combines our premium triple-washed 2.5kg coco coir brick with exactly 1kg of horticultural-grade perlite—the scientifically optimal 70:30 ratio recommended by professional growers worldwide. No measuring, no calculating, no uncertainty—just expand the coir, mix in the perlite, and you have 35-40 litres of perfectly balanced growing medium that delivers exceptional drainage, aeration, and moisture retention. Ideal for balcony gardeners, greenhouse users, or anyone tackling medium-sized projects who values convenience without compromising quality. The coir is triple-washed (EC <0.5 mS/cm), whilst the perlite is premium-grade with optimal particle size for maximum air pocket creation.

Why This Bundle? Most gardeners buy coir and perlite separately, then struggle with ratios. Too little perlite = waterlogging and root rot. Too much = medium dries out too fast. This bundle eliminates the guesswork, delivering the exact professional ratio every time.

Perfect For: Container gardens (8-10 pots), small raised beds, propagation projects, indoor houseplants, or first-time coco growers who want guaranteed success.

How to Use

Step 1: Preparation Setup Gather a large mixing container or wheelbarrow capable of holding approximately 40 liters of expanded growing medium. Ensure you have adequate workspace for thorough mixing.

Step 2: Coco Coir Hydration Place the 2.5kg coco coir brick in your container and add 15 liters of warm water gradually. Allow 15-20 minutes for complete expansion while breaking apart the brick to accelerate hydration.

Step 3: Texture Achievement Fluff the expanded coco coir with your hands or a garden fork until it reaches a uniform, soil-like consistency. Ensure no dry clumps remain and the texture is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Perlite Integration Add the entire 1kg bag of perlite to the hydrated coco coir. Mix thoroughly using a garden fork or your hands, ensuring even distribution throughout the growing medium.

Step 5: Final Blending Continue mixing until the perlite is completely integrated and you achieve a light, airy texture with visible white perlite particles evenly distributed throughout the brown coco coir.

Step 6: Quality Check The final mixture should feel light and springy when squeezed, with excellent drainage properties and a balanced moisture-holding capacity. Use immediately or store in a covered container.
