FoxFarm Cultivation Nation® 70/30 Growing Media is a high quality blend of buffered coconut coir and perlite. This mix holds moisture to help plant roots use water efficiently. It also improves airflow to aid plant root health. This makes this soil the perfect texture both indoors and outdoors.
What’s Inside the Mix?
The mix consists of:
- 70% Buffered Coconut Coir: Famous for holding plants hydrated for extended periods, coconut coir maintains moisture and nutrients. It is processed to reduce salts. Thus, it is safe for a plant to grow.
- 30% Perlite: Perlite helps with oxygenation and drainage of the media. It is light and porous. So the mix does not become compacted. And roots get a good supply of air and nutrients as water is squeezed out.
Together, these components support healthy root growth and strong plant development to allow the plants to reach their maximum potential.
