Growing plants using coco choir
Has anyone had any expirience growing plants using coco choir instead of soil?.
I am thinking of potting a couple of dwarf cavendish in coco rather than use soil as it has had some amazing results with other plants. What do you think? |

Re: Growing plants using coco choir
I mix it with propagation soil and organic fertilizer. Allows water to get to the roots.

Re: Growing plants using coco choir
I have switched to FoxFarm. Better performance and does not dry out fast.

Re: Growing plants using coco choir
These are tissue culture GM clones. The plant on the left is the one in Coco. It's been fed with Fox Farm "Gro Big"

Re: Growing plants using coco choir
I use coco coir and mix in sand and perlite to keep it from staying damp. I find that when peat dries out it is harder to get wet again compared to coco
