More Airflow Around the Root Zone
Create a well-aerated root environment with Nutrifield Coco Chips 50/50, a premium growing medium combining 50% coco coir with 50% larger coconut husk chips.
The larger chip structure creates additional air spaces throughout the substrate, improving drainage and oxygen availability around the roots while the coco retains moisture and nutrients. Unlike soil, the blend resists compaction, helping maintain a more open root zone throughout the growing cycle.
RHP certified for consistency and quality, Nutrifield Coco Chips is thoroughly rinsed, pH stabilised and pre-buffered with calcium. Its resistance to breakdown also makes it a durable growing medium suitable for hydroponic systems and soil-based growing applications.
