Atami Kilomix 50L is a heavily fertilised peat and perlite growing substrate enriched with mineral and organic nutrition, providing demanding plants with a rich growing medium and sustained nutrient availability.
Atami Kilomix is one of the most nutrient-rich growing substrates in the Atami range. It combines peat and perlite with a substantial fertiliser charge designed to provide plants with important nutrients over an extended period.
The substrate is enriched with ingredients including Atami Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers, alongside mineral nutrition. This combination provides both readily available nutrition and a longer-lasting nutrient contribution as the crop develops.
Unlike a lightly fertilised substrate where the grower begins introducing a complete liquid feeding programme relatively early, Kilomix provides a much richer nutritional foundation from the outset. Atami describes the professionally balanced fertiliser composition as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a longer period.
Perlite helps maintain an aerated physical structure and effective water management around the root zone, while the peat provides the main growing medium. The result is a nutrient-rich substrate particularly suited to established and demanding plants.
Why choose Atami Kilomix?
- Heavily fertilised growing medium – one of Atami's richer substrates for plants requiring substantial nutrition.
- Peat & perlite formulation – combines a peat-based growing medium with perlite for improved aeration and water management.
- Mineral & organic nutrition – combines different nutrient sources to provide immediate and longer-term nutritional support.
- Contains Worm Delight – incorporates Atami's worm humus-based soil enhancer as part of the enriched formulation.
- Contains guano – included as part of Kilomix's rich organic nutrient package.
- Contains lime – incorporated into the professionally formulated substrate.
- Sustained nutrient availability – formulated to provide important nutrients over an extended period.
- Reduced requirement for immediate feeding – the high initial fertilisation level means established plants begin in an already nutrient-rich medium.
- Suitable for demanding crops – particularly useful where a richer substrate is preferred from the beginning.
- Professional 50L format – suitable for individual pots as well as larger-scale and commercial growing applications.
What plants is Atami Kilomix suitable for?
Kilomix is designed for growers looking for a strongly fertilised substrate rather than a lightly charged growing medium. It is particularly useful for established plants and crops with relatively high nutritional requirements.
Because Kilomix has a significantly higher fertilisation level than Atami Janeco-Light-Mix, growers should take the existing nutrient charge into account before adding further fertiliser.
For very young seedlings, freshly rooted cuttings or particularly nutrient-sensitive varieties, a lighter substrate may offer greater control over early nutrition. Atami Janeco-Light-Mix is specifically positioned as a lightly fertilised substrate suitable for young plants and cuttings, whereas Kilomix is the richer option for more demanding growth.
Kilomix can be used for container-grown crops, indoor or protected cultivation and other soil-style growing applications where a nutrient-rich peat-based substrate is appropriate.
How to use Atami Kilomix
Fill the required container with Kilomix, allowing the substrate to remain naturally loose rather than compressing it excessively. Transplant the established plant into the substrate and water thoroughly to settle the growing medium around the root system.
Because Kilomix is already heavily fertilised, additional base fertiliser should not automatically be applied immediately after transplanting. Monitor the plants and allow their condition and stage of development to determine when additional nutrition becomes necessary.
The existing nutrient charge should also be considered when measuring the strength of any subsequent feed programme. Introducing a strong liquid fertiliser immediately into an already highly fertilised substrate can result in excessive nutrient levels.
Irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to plant size, container volume, temperature, humidity and crop water demand. Allow appropriate moisture cycling while avoiding prolonged waterlogging or allowing the root zone to become excessively dry.
Why is Kilomix more heavily fertilised?
Atami positions Kilomix above Janeco-Light-Mix in terms of fertilisation level. Its formulation combines mineral fertilisers with organic nutrient sources, giving growers a rich substrate capable of supporting crop development over an extended period.
Mineral nutrition can provide nutrients that are readily available to plants, while organic components contribute to the longer-term nutrient supply within the growing medium. Atami describes this combination as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a prolonged period.
Kilomix includes Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers. Together with the peat and perlite base, these ingredients create a substantially richer environment than a lightly fertilised propagation or starter substrate.
The result is a growing medium designed for growers who want more nutrition incorporated into the substrate itself, rather than relying entirely on liquid fertilisers from the beginning of cultivation.
Peat and perlite for balanced root-zone conditions
Nutrition is only one part of a successful growing medium. Kilomix combines its substantial fertiliser charge with peat and perlite to create an effective physical environment around the roots.
Peat provides moisture retention and the main structural body of the substrate, while perlite introduces additional pore space. This helps maintain aeration and drainage within the root zone while retaining sufficient moisture for plant uptake.
Maintaining the correct balance between water and oxygen is important for healthy root development, particularly in containers where excessive compaction or saturation can restrict root-zone aeration.

Atami Kilomix 50L FAQs
Is Atami Kilomix heavily fertilised?
Yes. Atami specifically classifies Kilomix as a heavily fertilised substrate. It contains considerably more incorporated nutrition than the lightly fertilised Janeco-Light-Mix.
What is Atami Kilomix made from?
Kilomix is based on peat and perlite and is enriched with mineral and organic nutrition. Atami identifies Worm Delight, lime and guano among the important ingredients used within the substrate.
What is the EC of Atami Kilomix?
Atami specifies an EC of 2.60-2.80 for Kilomix, reflecting its relatively high level of incorporated fertilisation.
Does Atami Kilomix contain perlite?
Yes. Perlite is incorporated into the peat-based substrate to help maintain an airy structure and improve water management around the root zone.
