A premium 100% washed and buffered coco coir growing medium with no added fertiliser and an exceptionally low EC below 0.3 mS/cm, giving growers complete control over crop nutrition from the very beginning.
Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos is a high-quality coco fibre substrate designed for growers who want to start with a clean, low-EC growing medium and manage their own nutrient programme from the outset. Unlike Atami's standard Cocos Substrate, Washed & Buffered Cocos contains no added fertiliser.
The coco fibres are thoroughly washed to help remove unwanted salts and then buffered to condition the natural exchange sites within the coco. This processing creates a stable, grow-ready substrate and helps prevent the coco from interfering unnecessarily with the calcium and magnesium supplied through the nutrient solution.
With an EC below 0.3 mS/cm, Washed & Buffered Cocos provides an excellent blank canvas for growers who want precise control over nutrient strength and composition. Because there is no starter fertiliser within the substrate, a suitable coco nutrient programme should be introduced from the beginning.
Coco fibre naturally combines excellent moisture retention with a light and airy structure. This creates a highly effective balance between water availability and oxygen around the root zone, making Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos suitable for propagation, young plants and established crops.
Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos is particularly well suited to growers who want to control crop nutrition from the very beginning rather than relying on fertiliser incorporated into the growing medium.
Its very low initial EC and lack of added fertiliser make it an excellent choice for seedlings, rooted cuttings and young plants, where precise control over nutrient strength can be particularly useful.
It can also be used as the primary growing medium throughout the complete crop cycle. As plants establish and their nutritional requirements increase, the nutrient programme can be adjusted according to crop type, development stage and environmental conditions.
Coco is widely suited to hand watering and automated irrigation systems. Its combination of moisture retention, drainage and root-zone aeration makes it particularly useful for intensive container cultivation and drip-irrigated crops.
Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos is supplied ready for use. Fill the required pots or containers with the substrate and introduce an appropriate coco-specific nutrient programme from the beginning of cultivation.
Because the substrate contains no added fertiliser, plants depend on the nutrient solution for their nutritional requirements. Feed strength should therefore be appropriate for the crop and its stage of development rather than applying one fixed EC throughout the entire crop cycle.
Atami recommends monitoring both pH and EC when cultivating in coco. Their coco-growing guidance recommends maintaining the nutrient solution at approximately pH 5.5–6.2, while EC should be adjusted according to crop requirements and development stage.
Calcium and magnesium availability is particularly important in coco cultivation. Atami recommends a coco-specific feeding programme and identifies CalMag supplementation as useful where additional calcium and magnesium are required.
When watering, allow the coco to dry slightly between irrigations but do not allow the substrate to dry out completely. Irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to plant size, root development, temperature, humidity, container size and the rate at which the substrate is using water.
Raw coco fibre naturally contains soluble salts and has exchange sites that can interact strongly with nutrients. High-quality horticultural coco therefore requires more processing than simply drying and bagging coconut fibre.
Washing helps remove salts and residues from the coco, reducing its starting electrical conductivity and creating a cleaner growing medium.
Buffering conditions the coco's exchange sites before cultivation. During the buffering process, calcium and magnesium are used to displace naturally occurring sodium and potassium from these sites. This helps prevent untreated coco from tying up calcium and magnesium when nutrient solution is subsequently applied.
The result is a cleaner and more predictable coco substrate that is ready to receive a controlled nutrient programme.

Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos is a 100% coco fibre growing medium that has been washed and buffered before use. It contains no added fertiliser and has a very low EC, allowing growers to control nutrition from the beginning.
No. Atami specifically produces this substrate without added fertiliser. A suitable coco-specific nutrient programme should therefore be introduced from the beginning of cultivation.
Atami specifies an EC below 0.3 mS/cm. This exceptionally low starting EC gives growers considerable control over the nutrient concentration supplied to the crop.
Washing coco helps remove naturally occurring salts and residues from the fibre. This helps reduce the starting EC and produces a cleaner growing medium for horticultural use.
Buffering conditions the natural exchange sites within coco fibre. Calcium and magnesium are used during processing to displace sodium and potassium from these sites, helping to create a more stable substrate before the crop's nutrient solution is introduced.
Proper buffering helps prevent coco from binding excessive calcium and magnesium when plants are subsequently fed. This gives growers a more predictable root-zone environment and greater control over crop nutrition.
Yes. The coco has already been washed and buffered by Atami and is supplied ready for cultivation. Because it contains no added fertiliser, begin an appropriate nutrient programme when planting.
Yes. Atami specifically identifies Washed & Buffered Cocos as ideal for seedlings. Its lack of added fertiliser allows the grower to control nutrient strength during early development.
Yes. The low-EC, non-fertilised substrate is particularly suitable for cuttings and young plants where careful control over nutrition is desirable.
Yes. Although particularly useful for propagation and young plants, the substrate can be used throughout the complete crop cycle when paired with an appropriate coco nutrient programme.
Yes. There is no added fertiliser in the substrate, so Atami recommends introducing the chosen nutrition from the beginning of cultivation.
The coco is already buffered, so it does not need to be re-buffered before use. However, calcium and magnesium remain important nutrients when growing in coco. Atami recommends monitoring crop requirements and using a suitable CalMag supplement where additional calcium and magnesium are needed.
Atami's coco cultivation guidance recommends keeping the nutrient solution within approximately pH 5.5–6.2. Regular monitoring is advisable because coco has less pH buffering capacity than peat-based growing media.
There is no single irrigation schedule suitable for every crop. Atami recommends allowing the coco to dry slightly before watering again while never allowing it to dry out completely. Irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to crop size, container size and environmental conditions.
No. Atami advises against allowing coco to dry out completely. Its moisture level should be managed so that the substrate dries slightly between irrigations while maintaining moisture around the root zone.
Yes. Coco coir is particularly well suited to drip irrigation and other controlled irrigation systems because of its combination of moisture retention, drainage and root-zone aeration.
The main difference is pre-fertilisation. Washed & Buffered Cocos contains no added fertiliser and has an EC below 0.3 mS/cm. Atami Cocos Substrate is lightly fertilised and has a higher specified EC, providing some initial nutrition before the grower takes over the feeding programme.
No. Atami describes the substrate as being composed of 100% coco fibre.
Yes. Its low starting EC and absence of added fertiliser make it particularly useful where precise control over irrigation and crop nutrition is required, including intensive and professional growing programmes.
Each bag contains 50 litres of washed and buffered coco coir growing medium.
A full pallet contains 75 x 50L bags. Individual 50L bags can still be ordered separately.
