Unit price perEstimated delivery between September 19 and September 21.
Atami Bi Grow Mix 50L is a medium-fertilised peat and coco fibre growing substrate that combines excellent moisture retention with an open, aerated root-zone structure for balanced plant development.
Developed to sit between Atami Janeco-Light-Mix and the more heavily fertilised Kilomix, Bi Grow Mix provides growers with a versatile middle ground. It contains sufficient starter nutrition to support plants through their initial development while still allowing the grower to introduce liquid fertiliser as crop demand increases.
The substrate combines peat with approximately 20% coco fibres and chips. The coco component creates additional air spaces within the growing medium while helping the substrate retain moisture effectively, producing a forgiving balance between water availability and root-zone aeration.
With an EC of 1.25-1.50, Bi Grow Mix is classified by Atami as a medium-fertilised substrate. Plants can root directly into the mix from the initial stage and continue developing before additional liquid nutrition is introduced according to plant size, pot volume and crop requirements.
Supplied in a professional 50L bag, Bi Grow Mix is suitable for a wide range of container-grown crops and is available from Creation Horticulture individually or in full pallets of 70 x 50L bags.
Why choose Atami Bi Grow Mix?
- Balanced peat & coco substrate – combines the moisture-management characteristics of peat with the aeration provided by coco fibres and chips.
- Medium fertilisation level – positioned between the lightly fertilised Janeco-Light-Mix and heavily fertilised Kilomix.
- Starter nutrition included – nutrients are already present to support the initial establishment and development of the crop.
- Approximately 20% coco fibres & chips – creates additional air spaces within the growing medium and contributes to its open structure.
- Good moisture retention – the peat and coco combination retains water effectively between irrigations.
- Aerated root zone – its relatively open structure helps maintain air around developing roots.
- Forgiving growing medium – Atami describes the combination of peat and coco characteristics as making Bi Grow Mix easier to manage when minor growing errors occur.
- Plants can root directly into the mix – suitable for plants from their initial establishment stage onwards.
- EC 1.25-1.50 – provides a moderate starting nutrient level without the heavy nutrient charge of Kilomix.
- Flexible feeding control – additional liquid fertiliser can be introduced once the initial nutrient supply is being used by the crop.
- Useful for hand watering – its moisture-retentive characteristics make it particularly practical for manually irrigated container crops.
- Professional 50L format – suitable for hobby growers, nurseries and larger horticultural growing operations.
What is Atami Bi Grow Mix suitable for?
Bi Grow Mix is designed as a versatile growing substrate for growers who want more initial nutrition than a light mix without moving to a heavily fertilised growing medium.
Atami positions it as a medium-fertilised substrate. Plants can root directly into the mix during their initial stage and then continue developing as the established starter nutrition supports early growth.
This makes Bi Grow Mix suitable for a broad range of container-grown flowering plants, ornamentals, vegetables and other productive crops where a balance between nutrient availability, moisture retention and root-zone aeration is desirable.
The combination of peat and coco also makes the substrate relatively forgiving. It retains moisture effectively while the coco fibres and chips contribute additional air spaces, helping growers maintain a more balanced root environment.
Why combine peat and coco fibre?
Peat and coco have complementary physical characteristics, which is the principle behind Atami Bi Grow Mix. Rather than relying entirely on one material, the substrate combines them to provide a balance between moisture retention and aeration.
The peat component provides the main body of the growing medium and helps maintain consistent moisture around the root zone. The approximately 20% coco fibre and chip content introduces additional air spaces into the substrate.
This produces a growing medium that can retain useful moisture without becoming unnecessarily compact when managed correctly. Roots require both water and oxygen, so maintaining this balance is an important part of healthy root-zone management.
Atami specifically highlights Bi Grow Mix as being relatively airy while retaining water well, making it a practical choice for growers who want a forgiving substrate with straightforward irrigation management.
Medium fertilisation for controlled feeding
Atami classifies Bi Grow Mix as medium fertilised. This places it between Janeco-Light-Mix, which has a relatively light nutrient charge, and Kilomix, which is designed as a heavily fertilised substrate.
Nutrients are incorporated into Bi Grow Mix to cover the crop's initial period of development. This means additional fertiliser does not automatically need to be applied immediately after planting.
Once the plant has progressed beyond this initial period, Atami recommends introducing liquid fertiliser for optimum results. The correct timing depends on factors including plant number, plant size, container volume, crop type and growing conditions.
This approach gives growers a useful balance: enough nutrition to establish the crop while retaining the ability to control subsequent feeding according to actual plant demand.
How to use Atami Bi Grow Mix
Fill the chosen container with Bi Grow Mix without excessively compressing the substrate. Maintaining its natural structure helps preserve the air spaces created by the peat and coco fibre blend.
Plant or transplant into the substrate and water thoroughly enough to establish even moisture throughout the root zone. Allow normal drainage and then manage subsequent irrigation according to plant size, container volume, environmental conditions and moisture use.
Because Bi Grow Mix already contains starter nutrition, avoid automatically applying a strong fertiliser programme immediately after planting. Monitor plant development and introduce liquid nutrition once the initial nutrient supply is no longer sufficient for the crop.
The exact point at which additional feeding becomes necessary will vary. Larger plants in smaller containers may use the available nutrition more rapidly than smaller plants growing in a larger volume of substrate.
Avoid allowing the substrate to remain permanently saturated. Although Bi Grow Mix has good moisture-retention properties, irrigation should still allow sufficient air to remain within the root zone.
Bi Grow Mix vs Janeco-Light-Mix and Kilomix
Atami offers the three substrates at different fertilisation levels, allowing growers to select a mix according to the amount of initial nutrition and feeding control required.
Janeco-Light-Mix is the lightly fertilised option. It uses peat and perlite and is particularly suitable for seedlings, cuttings and growers who want maximum control over subsequent nutrition.
Bi Grow Mix is the medium-fertilised option. Its peat and coco fibre composition provides good moisture retention and an aerated structure while supplying a moderate level of starter nutrition.
Kilomix is the heavily fertilised option. It is designed for more demanding plants and growers looking for a nutrient-rich substrate from the beginning.
Bi Grow Mix therefore provides the middle ground for growers who want more initial nutrition than a light mix while retaining greater control than a heavily fertilised substrate.

Atami Bi Grow Mix 50L FAQs
What is Atami Bi Grow Mix made from?
Bi Grow Mix combines peat with coco fibre. Atami's detailed product information specifies approximately 20% coco fibres and chips, which create additional air spaces within the growing medium.
What is the EC of Atami Bi Grow Mix?
Atami specifies an EC of 1.25-1.50 for Bi Grow Mix, reflecting its medium level of initial fertilisation.
Is Atami Bi Grow Mix pre-fertilised?
Yes. Bi Grow Mix contains starter nutrition and is classified by Atami as a medium-fertilised substrate. This initial nutrient charge is designed to support plants during their early development.
Do I need to feed plants immediately in Bi Grow Mix?
Not necessarily. The substrate already contains nutrients for the initial growing period. Additional liquid fertiliser should be introduced as the crop begins to use the available nutrition, with timing adjusted to plant size, container volume and crop demand.
Does Bi Grow Mix contain coco coir?
Yes. Bi Grow Mix contains approximately 20% coco fibres and chips. The coco component helps create additional air spaces while contributing to the substrate's moisture-management characteristics.
Does Atami Bi Grow Mix contain perlite?
Atami's current specification describes Bi Grow Mix as a peat and coco fibre substrate. Unlike Janeco-Light-Mix and Kilomix, which Atami specifically describes as peat and perlite substrates, coco fibre provides the additional aeration in Bi Grow Mix.
Is Bi Grow Mix suitable for young plants?
Atami states that plants can root directly into Bi Grow Mix from their initial stage. Its medium fertilisation level provides more starter nutrition than Janeco-Light-Mix, so particularly nutrient-sensitive seedlings or cuttings may still be better suited to a lighter mix.
