Botanicare Cocogro Loose Coco Coir

Botanicare Cocogro Loose is a ready-to-use growing medium made from 100% premium buffered coconut coir. Naturally aged, double washed, and composted to remove tannins, Cocogro provides a clean, low-EC foundation for container gardening, hydroponic cultivation, and custom soilless growing mixes.

Its loose texture balances moisture retention with root-zone aeration, allowing coco to hold water and dissolved nutrients while maintaining the oxygen roots need for healthy development. Unlike compressed coco bricks, Cocogro Loose requires no expansion or rehydration before use.

Why Growers Choose Cocogro Loose

• Ready to use: Pre-buffered loose coco can be planted directly from the bag without rinsing or rehydrating.
• 100% premium coco coir: Contains buffered coconut coir fiber and pith without added soil.
• Double washed: Processed to remove excess salts and provide a very low starting EC.
• Naturally aged and composted: Prepared to remove unwanted tannins before packaging.
• Balanced air and water: Retains moisture and nutrients while preserving oxygen around the root zone.
• Renewable growing medium: Coconut coir provides a plant-based alternative to peat-based media.
• Easy to customize: Use it alone or blend it with perlite and other amendments to achieve the drainage and dryback preferred by your plants.

What Is in Cocogro?

Ingredient: Buffered coconut coir.

Cocogro is a soilless growing medium rather than a pre-fertilized potting soil. Plants will require an appropriate base nutrient program beginning at transplant or according to the needs of the crop.

How to Use Botanicare Cocogro Loose

1. Loosen the coco and fill a clean container without compressing the medium excessively.
2. Transplant the seedling, cutting, or established plant at the appropriate depth.
3. Water with a properly diluted coco-compatible nutrient solution.
4. Use a calcium and magnesium supplement such as Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus as directed by the manufacturer.
5. Monitor nutrient strength, pH, runoff EC, and moisture levels throughout the growing cycle.

Coco can be irrigated frequently, but watering frequency should be adjusted for container size, plant maturity, temperature, drainage, and the amount of perlite or other aeration material in the mix. Do not allow containers to remain in standing runoff.

Approximate Container Coverage

One 1.75-cubic-foot bag will fill approximately:

• 12 one-gallon pots
• 4 three-gallon pots
• 2 five-gallon pots
• 1 seven-gallon pot

Actual coverage may vary based on container dimensions, settling, compaction, and how much additional material is blended with the coco.

Recommended Applications

• Indoor and outdoor container gardening
• Drain-to-waste hydroponic systems
• Hand-watered and automated drip irrigation
• Custom coco-and-perlite growing mixes
• Organic and mineral-based nutrient programs
• Seedlings, rooted cuttings, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and houseplants

Important Growing Note

“Ready to use” means the coco has already been aged, washed, buffered, and loosened. It does not mean that the medium contains a complete fertilizer. Feed plants with an appropriate base nutrient and monitor calcium and magnesium availability, especially when using reverse osmosis or low-mineral water.
