The Clover 75L TUB & BASKET is a tub & basket compost intended for seasonal container displays in tubs, baskets and other suitable planters.
Clover growing media are used across professional horticulture where growers need to select the substrate according to crop type, container size, irrigation practice and production stage.
Bag size: 75L.
Key benefits
- Specialist tub & basket compost
- Designed for seasonal container displays in tubs, baskets and other suitable planters
- 75L professional bag size
- Suitable for planned nursery and growing programmes
Recommended applications
Use this product for seasonal container displays in tubs, baskets and other suitable planters. The exact crop response will depend on plant species, container volume, irrigation, feeding and the wider production environment.
Using professional growing media
Fill pots, trays or planting areas evenly without unnecessary compaction. After planting, irrigate according to the crop and allow the medium to settle naturally around the root system.
Monitor moisture rather than watering solely to a fixed timetable. Water demand changes with crop size, temperature, light, airflow and container volume.
Nutrition & crop management
Where a growing medium contains a starter nutrient charge, its duration will vary with crop demand and irrigation. Establish an appropriate ongoing feeding programme for longer-term production rather than assuming the original nutrient supply will last indefinitely.
For specialist crops, match pH, nutrition and irrigation to the plant's requirements and current production guidance.
Storage & handling
Store bags in a suitable area before use and protect opened material from contamination. Avoid unnecessary compaction during handling so the physical structure of the growing medium is maintained.

Peat-free 5kg coco coir brick that expands to approximately 75 litres of light, versatile growing media.
Pure Harvest Coco Brick is a compressed growing medium made from 100% natural, organic coir pith. Compact and easy to store before use, each 5kg brick expands to approximately 75 litres when hydrated, making it a practical alternative to storing and handling bulky bags of loose growing media.
Naturally peat-free and nutrient-free, Pure Harvest coco provides an adaptable base for growers who want greater control over their growing media and feeding programme. Its open structure provides a useful balance between moisture retention, drainage and aeration, while the expanded coco can be used on its own or blended with other growing media components.
Why choose Pure Harvest Coco Brick?
- Makes approximately 75 litres – one compact 5kg brick produces a substantial volume of growing media once fully hydrated.
- 100% natural organic coir pith – produced from coconut coir to create a versatile growing substrate.
- Peat-free growing media – a practical choice for growers looking to reduce or avoid the use of peat.
- Good moisture and drainage balance – the open structure of coco helps retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
- Supports root-zone aeration – the light, open texture helps maintain air space around developing roots.
- Nutrient-free growing medium – gives growers control over the nutrients and fertilisers added during cultivation.
- Easy to customise – can be used with compost and fertiliser blends or mixed with materials such as perlite and clay balls.
- Compact for storage and transport – 75 litres of growing media is supplied as a compressed 5kg brick until it is needed.
What is Pure Harvest Coco Brick suitable for?
Pure Harvest Coco Brick is suitable for a broad range of growing applications, including indoor growing, pots, containers, balcony growing and other situations where a lightweight coco coir growing medium is required.
Because the coco is nutrient-free, growers can tailor their feeding programme to suit the crop being grown. It can also be incorporated into custom growing media mixes alongside perlite, clay balls, compost or fertiliser blends, making it useful for both straightforward potting and more tailored growing systems.
How to use Pure Harvest Coco Brick
Place the 5kg compressed brick in a suitably sized container or preparation area and add approximately 18 – 20 litres of water. Allow the coir to absorb the water and expand before breaking apart and thoroughly loosening the material.
Once fully expanded, a single brick produces approximately 75 litres of coco growing media. The hydrated coco can then be used as required or combined with other growing media components to create a mix suited to your plants and growing system.

Sinclair Vermiculite Medium 100L — Medium-grade expanded vermiculite for professional seed covering, propagation and growing-medium blending.
Selected for professional horticulture, nursery production and garden or landscape applications where the product suits the crop and growing conditions.
Key benefits
- 2–5mm particle size, as specified by Sinclair
- Manufacturer-stated water holding: 381ml per litre of vermiculite
- Layered mineral structure helps retain water and soluble nutrients
- Useful as a seed covering and to improve aeration in growing media
How medium vermiculite works
Expanded vermiculite is a lightweight mineral with a layered structure and cation-exchange properties. In an appropriate growing-medium blend it helps buffer moisture and retain soluble nutrients, while the medium grade provides additional structure.
Seed covering and propagation
Apply an appropriate light covering over sown seed where the crop requires it. Maintain even moisture and follow the species-specific sowing depth and germination conditions; do not bury light-germinating seed unnecessarily.
Blending into growing media
Choose the inclusion rate for the crop and substrate. Vermiculite holds water, so consider the effect on the finished mix rather than assuming it will always improve drainage.

Sinclair Vermiculite Medium 100L FAQs
Is medium vermiculite suitable for covering seeds?
Yes. Sinclair identifies the medium grade for seed covering. Match the covering depth to the seed species. What is the particle size?
The manufacturer specifies 2–5mm. Does vermiculite hold nutrients?
Yes. Its layered mineral structure provides cation-exchange capacity, helping retain some soluble nutrients in a growing medium. Is it the same as perlite?
No. Vermiculite generally contributes more moisture and nutrient retention, while perlite is commonly selected primarily to increase air space. How much is supplied?

Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock 70L is a professional peat-free growing medium developed for container-grown nursery stock. Designed to provide the root-zone structure and water management required by longer-term container crops, it offers commercial growers a professional substrate for peat-free nursery production.
Nursery stock places very different demands on a growing medium compared with short-cycle crops. Plants may remain in their containers for extended periods, making reliable structure, drainage, moisture management and root-zone aeration particularly important.
Van der Knaap's Nursery Stock formulation provides an open, well-structured and free-draining growing environment designed to support strong root development and healthy plant growth throughout the production cycle.
Supplied in 70L bags with 39 bags per pallet, it is suited to professional nurseries, commercial growers, landscapers and other horticultural businesses moving towards peat-free container production.
Why choose Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock?
- 100% peat-free growing medium - a professional substrate for growers moving away from conventional peat-based production.
- Developed for nursery stock - designed around the requirements of container-grown nursery plants.
- Open substrate structure - helps maintain air within the root zone and supports healthy root development.
- Effective water management - combines moisture availability with a free-draining structure.
- Suitable for longer-term container crops - where maintaining substrate structure throughout production is particularly important.
- Supports strong root development - providing a productive environment for establishment and continued growth.
- Suitable for container and decorative pots - ideal for professional nursery and ornamental plant production.
- Professional horticultural formulation - developed by a specialist international producer of growing and rooting media.
- 70L trade bag - practical format for professional nursery use.
- 39 bags per pallet - suitable for commercial volume purchasing and production planning.
Developed for professional nursery stock production
Container-grown nursery stock requires a substrate capable of performing over a longer production period. As roots develop and the crop increases in size, the physical characteristics of the growing medium become increasingly important.
An appropriate nursery substrate needs to provide sufficient moisture for the crop while retaining enough air-filled space around the root system and allowing excess irrigation water to drain.
Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is formulated around these requirements, providing a structured root-zone environment for professional container production.
Professional peat-free growing media
Replacing peat in professional growing media involves considerably more than substituting one raw material for another. Different renewable materials have different physical, chemical and water-holding characteristics, which can change how a crop needs to be irrigated and fed.
Van der Knaap actively researches renewable and circular substrate materials and evaluates how changes in growing media affect crop performance. This includes assessing physical and chemical characteristics and carrying out practical cultivation trials.
The result is a professional approach to peat-free growing media that considers both the composition of the substrate and how that substrate performs within a real horticultural production system.
Root-zone structure & water management
Water and air compete for pore space within every growing medium. A substrate that remains excessively wet can restrict root-zone aeration, while one that dries too quickly can make maintaining consistent moisture difficult.
The open, free-draining structure of Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is designed to provide an effective balance for container-grown plants, supporting root development while allowing growers to manage irrigation according to crop demand.
As with any professional peat-free substrate, irrigation should be based on the actual moisture condition within the container rather than simply following a watering programme developed for a previous peat-based growing medium.
Suitable applications
Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is primarily intended for professional container nursery production and is particularly useful where plants require a structured growing medium for an extended crop cycle.
- Commercial nursery stock production
- Container-grown ornamental plants
- Shrubs and woody plants
- Perennial container production
- Young trees and larger nursery plants
- Container pots
- Larger decorative pots
- Professional landscaping plant production
Managing peat-free growing media successfully
Professional peat-free substrates may require a different approach to irrigation and nutrition compared with familiar peat-based mixes. The characteristics of the substrate, crop, container size, weather and production environment should all be considered.
Growers should monitor moisture throughout the root zone and adjust irrigation frequency and volume accordingly. The surface of a growing medium does not always provide an accurate indication of moisture deeper within the container.
Nutrition should likewise be matched to the crop and production system. Where controlled-release fertiliser or liquid feeding is used, the programme should account for crop requirements, irrigation strategy, container size and intended production period.

Versatile 2 – 5mm horticultural perlite for creating lighter, better-draining growing media with more air space around developing roots.
Planet Earth Horticultural Perlite is a lightweight growing media additive for improving drainage, aeration and structure in compost and potting mixes. Supplied in a convenient 10L bag, it is an easy way to open up dense growing media and create a healthier balance of air and moisture around plant roots.
The 2 – 5mm horticultural grade creates additional pore space throughout the growing medium. This helps excess water drain more freely while maintaining air spaces around the root zone, reducing the tendency of compost and other media to become dense and compacted.
Its versatility makes it useful for everything from propagation and potting-on to houseplants, container growing and general compost improvement. The manageable 10L bag is particularly practical when only a modest quantity of perlite is required.
Why choose Planet Earth Horticultural Perlite?
- 2 – 5mm horticultural grade – a versatile particle size for propagation, potting mixes and general growing media improvement.
- Improves drainage – creates additional pore space so excess water can move more freely through the growing medium.
- Increases aeration – helps maintain valuable air space around developing roots.
- Helps reduce compaction – keeps compost and potting mixes lighter and more open.
- Supports healthy root development – improved air and water movement creates more favourable conditions around the root zone.
- Useful for propagation – ideal for improving the structure and drainage of growing media used for seedlings and cuttings.
- Easy to blend – mix into compost and other growing media according to the drainage and aeration required.
- Convenient 10L bag – a practical size for smaller growing areas, propagation work, houseplants and container gardening.
What is Planet Earth Perlite suitable for?
Planet Earth Perlite can be incorporated into compost and other growing media wherever additional drainage, aeration or structural openness is required.
It is particularly useful for growing mixes that tend to settle or compact over time. Adding perlite creates spaces between the finer particles of the growing medium, helping air reach the root zone while allowing excess irrigation water to drain away more readily.
The 2 – 5mm grade is well suited to propagation mixes, potting-on, container plants and general compost improvement. It can also be useful for indoor plants where a dense potting mix needs additional drainage and aeration.
Because the amount required depends on the crop and the characteristics of the existing growing medium, Planet Earth Perlite can be blended at different proportions to produce the structure and drainage needed for the application.
How to use Planet Earth Perlite
Mix Planet Earth Perlite thoroughly through your chosen compost or growing medium before planting or potting-on. Adjust the proportion according to how much additional drainage and aeration the existing mix requires.
For propagation and general potting mixes, distribute the perlite evenly rather than allowing it to collect in isolated pockets. An even blend creates consistent air spaces and drainage throughout the root zone.
When improving an existing dense growing medium, gradually incorporate perlite until the mix has the lighter, more open structure required for the plants being grown.
Perlite is very lightweight and can produce fine dust during handling. Pour and mix it carefully, preferably in a well-ventilated area, and avoid breathing airborne dust.

Use this product for professional substrate blending, soil improvement and growing-media preparation. The exact crop response will depend on plant species, container volume, irrigation, feeding and the wider production environment.
Using professional growing media
Fill pots, trays or planting areas evenly without unnecessary compaction. After planting, irrigate according to the crop and allow the medium to settle naturally around the root system.
Monitor moisture rather than watering solely to a fixed timetable. Water demand changes with crop size, temperature, light, airflow and container volume.
Nutrition & crop management
Where a growing medium contains a starter nutrient charge, its duration will vary with crop demand and irrigation. Establish an appropriate ongoing feeding programme for longer-term production rather than assuming the original nutrient supply will last indefinitely.
For specialist crops, match pH, nutrition and irrigation to the plant's requirements and current production guidance.
Storage & handling
Store bags in a suitable area before use and protect opened material from contamination. Avoid unnecessary compaction during handling so the physical structure of the growing medium is maintained.

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.
Why choose Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
- 100% premium coco fibre – a high-quality coco coir substrate without added peat or pre-fertilisation.
- Washed coco – processed to help remove naturally occurring salts and residues that can increase substrate EC.
- Properly buffered – conditioned to help manage the natural interaction between coco fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.
- Exceptionally low EC – Atami specifies an EC below 0.3 mS/cm.
- No added fertiliser – gives the grower control over nutrition from the beginning of cultivation.
- Ideal for seedlings & cuttings – the low initial nutrient content makes it particularly suitable for young plants and propagation.
- Excellent moisture retention – coco holds a useful reserve of water around the root zone.
- Light & airy structure – maintains oxygen around developing roots while retaining moisture.
- Suitable throughout the crop cycle – can be used from propagation and early growth through to mature crops.
- Excellent for controlled feeding – particularly useful where growers want to manage nutrient concentration and EC themselves.
What is Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos suitable for?
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.
How to use Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos
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.
What does washed and buffered coco mean?
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 50L FAQs
What is Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
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.
Does Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos contain nutrients?
No. Atami specifically produces this substrate without added fertiliser. A suitable coco-specific nutrient programme should therefore be introduced from the beginning of cultivation.
What is the EC of Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
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.
What does washed coco mean?
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.
What does buffered coco mean?
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.
Why is buffered coco better than untreated coco?
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.
Is Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos ready to use?
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.
Is Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos suitable for seedlings?
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.
Can I use Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos for cuttings?
Yes. The low-EC, non-fertilised substrate is particularly suitable for cuttings and young plants where careful control over nutrition is desirable.
Can Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos be used for the full crop cycle?
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.
Do I need to feed from the start when using Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
Yes. There is no added fertiliser in the substrate, so Atami recommends introducing the chosen nutrition from the beginning of cultivation.
Do I need CalMag with Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
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.
What pH should I use with Atami coco?
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.
How often should Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos be watered?
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.
Should coco coir be allowed to dry out completely?
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.
Can Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos be used with drip irrigation?
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.
What is the difference between Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos and Atami Cocos Substrate?
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.
Does Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos contain peat?
No. Atami describes the substrate as being composed of 100% coco fibre.
Is Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos good for professional growers?
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.
How large is a bag of Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos?
Each bag contains 50 litres of washed and buffered coco coir growing medium.
How many bags of Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos are on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 75 x 50L bags. Individual 50L bags can still be ordered separately.

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 Janeco Light Mix 50L is a lightly fertilised peat-based growing substrate with added perlite, providing an airy, well-drained root environment and greater control over crop nutrition.
Atami Janeco Light Mix is designed for growers who want a quality growing medium without the heavy nutrient charge found in more strongly fertilised substrates. Its light initial fertilisation provides plants with nutrition during early establishment while allowing the grower to take greater control of the feeding programme as the crop develops.
The substrate combines peat with perlite to provide an effective balance between moisture retention, drainage and root-zone aeration. The open structure helps oxygen remain available around developing roots while still holding sufficient moisture for plant uptake.
Janeco Light Mix is particularly useful for young plants, seedlings and cuttings, but it can also be used throughout the complete crop cycle. When used for longer-term cultivation, additional nutrition can be introduced according to plant development and crop demand.
This makes Janeco Light Mix an excellent choice for growers who prefer to determine their own nutrient strength rather than beginning with a heavily fertilised growing medium.
Why choose Atami Janeco Light Mix?
- Lightly fertilised substrate – provides an initial nutrient charge without heavily pre-fertilising the root zone.
- Greater control over feeding – ideal for growers who want to introduce and manage their own nutrient programme as plants develop.
- Peat & perlite formulation – combines moisture retention with improved drainage and aeration.
- Suitable for young plants – the lighter nutrient level makes Janeco Light Mix well suited to early plant development.
- Suitable for seedlings & cuttings – provides a less heavily fertilised environment than richer growing substrates.
- Supports healthy root development – the airy structure helps maintain oxygen availability throughout the root zone.
- Good drainage – added perlite helps excess irrigation water move through the substrate.
- Effective moisture retention – peat retains moisture while the perlite helps prevent the substrate becoming excessively compact.
- Suitable for complete crop cultivation – can be used beyond propagation and early growth when combined with an appropriate nutrient programme.
- Professional 50L format – suitable for individual growers, nurseries and larger horticultural applications.
What plants is Atami Janeco Light Mix suitable for?
Janeco Light Mix is particularly suited to seedlings, rooted cuttings, young plants and recently transplanted crops where a heavily fertilised substrate may not be desirable.
The lighter nutrient charge gives the grower more control during early crop development. Rather than placing plants immediately into a nutrient-rich medium, feeding can be increased progressively as the root system becomes established and plant demand increases.
Janeco Light Mix is not limited to propagation or early growth. It can also be used as the primary growing substrate throughout the crop cycle, provided suitable additional nutrition is supplied as the initial fertiliser charge becomes depleted.
This flexibility makes it useful for growers who want a consistent peat-based substrate while retaining control over the nutritional programme from early establishment through to mature crop production.
How to use Atami Janeco Light Mix
Fill pots, trays or containers with Janeco Light Mix and avoid excessive compression of the substrate. Maintaining its naturally open structure helps preserve the air spaces created by the peat and perlite combination.
Seedlings, rooted cuttings or established plants can then be transplanted into the substrate and watered appropriately to settle the growing medium around the root system.
Janeco Light Mix contains a light initial fertiliser charge. Atami indicates that this provides nutrition for approximately the first two weeks, although actual nutrient demand will vary according to crop type, plant size, environmental conditions and irrigation.
After this initial period, introduce an appropriate nutrient programme according to plant development rather than automatically applying a strong feed. Monitor plant condition and increase nutrition progressively as required.
Watering frequency should be determined by plant size, pot volume, temperature, humidity and crop demand. The substrate should retain useful moisture while still allowing sufficient drainage and oxygen around the roots.
Why use a lightly fertilised growing medium?
A lightly fertilised substrate gives the grower significantly more control over crop nutrition. Instead of beginning with a large reserve of fertiliser already present in the growing medium, nutrients can be introduced according to the plant's actual stage of development.
This is particularly valuable for young plants and varieties that may be sensitive to high nutrient concentrations during establishment. It also allows experienced growers to build a more precisely controlled feeding programme around their chosen fertilisers.
Janeco Light Mix therefore provides a useful middle ground between an unfertilised growing medium and a heavily fertilised substrate such as Atami Kilomix.
Peat and perlite for a healthy root zone
The physical structure of a growing medium is just as important as its nutrient content. Roots require access to both water and oxygen, and maintaining an appropriate balance between the two is essential for healthy development.
Peat provides the main body of Janeco Light Mix and offers useful moisture retention. Perlite creates additional pore space throughout the substrate, helping improve drainage and maintain air around the root system.
This light, aerated structure is particularly useful in container cultivation, where excessive compaction or prolonged saturation can restrict oxygen availability around developing roots.

Atami Janeco Light Mix 50L FAQs
What is Atami Janeco Light Mix?
Atami Janeco Light Mix is a lightly fertilised peat and perlite growing substrate designed to provide an airy root environment while giving growers greater control over their nutrient programme.
Is Atami Janeco Light Mix pre-fertilised?
Yes. Janeco Light Mix contains a light initial fertiliser charge rather than being completely unfertilised. This provides early nutrition without creating the high nutrient levels associated with a heavily fertilised substrate.
How long does the fertiliser in Janeco Light Mix last?
Atami indicates that Janeco Light Mix contains enough fertiliser for approximately the first two weeks. Actual duration varies with crop type, plant size, environmental conditions and irrigation.
Does Atami Janeco Light Mix contain perlite?
Yes. Perlite is incorporated into the peat-based growing medium to improve drainage, maintain pore space and support root-zone aeration.
Is Janeco Light Mix suitable for seedlings?
Yes. Its light nutrient charge and aerated structure make Janeco Light Mix particularly useful for young plants and seedlings where a heavily fertilised substrate may not be appropriate.
Can I use Janeco Light Mix for cuttings?
Yes. Janeco Light Mix is suitable for rooted cuttings and young plants. Its relatively low fertilisation level gives growers greater control over nutrition during early establishment.
Can Atami Janeco Light Mix be used for the full crop cycle?
Yes. Janeco Light Mix can be used throughout the crop cycle, but additional nutrition will be required as plants use the initial fertiliser charge and their nutrient demand increases.
When should I start feeding plants in Janeco Light Mix?
The substrate provides approximately two weeks of initial nutrition. Rather than feeding purely by calendar, monitor plant development and introduce an appropriate nutrient programme as the initial charge becomes depleted and crop demand increases.
What is the difference between Janeco Light Mix and Kilomix?
Janeco Light Mix is lightly fertilised and gives growers greater control over additional feeding. Kilomix is much more heavily fertilised and is designed to provide a substantial nutrient reserve for established and demanding plants.
Why choose a light mix instead of a heavily fertilised substrate?
A light mix allows the grower to control when and how additional nutrients are introduced. This can be particularly useful for young plants, nutrient-sensitive varieties and growers using a precisely managed feeding programme.
Does Janeco Light Mix provide good drainage?
Yes. Added perlite helps create an open structure that allows excess irrigation water to drain while maintaining air spaces around the root system.
Do I need to add extra perlite to Janeco Light Mix?
Janeco Light Mix already contains perlite and is formulated to provide an effective balance of aeration, drainage and moisture retention. Additional perlite is therefore not normally necessary, although growers may modify substrates for specific crop or irrigation requirements.
Is Atami Janeco Light Mix suitable for professional horticulture?
Yes. The 50L format is suitable for nurseries, professional growers and larger container-growing applications where a lightly fertilised peat and perlite substrate is required.
How should Janeco Light Mix be watered?
Irrigate according to crop size, container volume and environmental conditions. The objective is to maintain sufficient moisture for plant uptake while preserving oxygen within the root zone and avoiding prolonged saturation.
How many 50L bags of Atami Janeco Light Mix are on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 70 x 50L bags of Atami Janeco Light Mix.

Atami High Porosity Cocos 50L is a premium 70/30 coco and perlite growing medium combining aged, washed and buffered coco fibre with 30% perlite for increased drainage, aeration and oxygen availability throughout the root zone.
Designed for growers who want the benefits of high-quality coco with an even more open and free-draining structure, Atami High Porosity Cocos combines 70% coco with 30% perlite. The additional perlite increases air-filled porosity and drainage, creating an excellent environment for intensive root development.
The coco used by Atami is carefully aged, washed and buffered before use. Washing helps remove excess salts and residues, while buffering stabilises the coco's nutrient exchange characteristics before plants are introduced.
Unlike Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos, which contains no added fertiliser, High Porosity Cocos is pre-fertilised. This makes it a ready-to-use coco growing medium while still allowing growers to manage crop nutrition through a suitable coco feeding programme as the crop develops.
The 70/30 coco-perlite combination is particularly suited to growers using frequent irrigation, drip systems and intensive container cultivation where rapid drainage and high root-zone oxygen availability are desirable.
Why choose Atami High Porosity Cocos?
- 70/30 coco & perlite blend – combines 70% high-quality coco with 30% perlite for increased porosity.
- Excellent root-zone aeration – the open structure helps maintain a continuous supply of air around developing roots.
- Increased drainage – added perlite allows irrigation water to move efficiently through the growing medium.
- Supports intensive root development – high oxygen availability helps create favourable conditions for root expansion and root-hair development.
- Aged coco fibre – Atami carefully ages its coco as part of the preparation process.
- Washed coco – washing removes unwanted salts and residues that could otherwise influence substrate EC.
- Buffered coco – the coco is buffered before use to provide a more stable and balanced growing medium.
- Pre-fertilised – supplied with an initial nutrient charge rather than being completely unfertilised.
- Suitable for frequent irrigation – the high drainage capacity makes it particularly useful in intensively managed irrigation programmes.
- Ready-to-use 50L format – suitable for individual pots, larger containers and professional growing applications.
What is Atami High Porosity Cocos suitable for?
High Porosity Cocos is designed for crops grown using coco-based cultivation where growers want greater drainage and root-zone aeration than conventional pure coco provides.
The 30% perlite content makes the substrate particularly useful for growers using frequent irrigation or automated drip systems. The increased drainage allows irrigation events to replenish the root zone while maintaining a high proportion of air-filled pore space.
It can be used in individual pots and containers as well as larger professional growing systems. The physical characteristics make it particularly relevant to intensive cultivation where irrigation, nutrient strength and runoff are actively managed.
Growers moving from conventional coco should account for the increased drainage. Atami specifically recommends increasing watering to match the greater drainage capacity of High Porosity Cocos.
How to use Atami High Porosity Cocos
High Porosity Cocos is supplied ready for use. Fill the required pots or containers with the substrate while avoiding excessive compression, as maintaining the open structure is important to its aeration and drainage characteristics.
Transplant into the substrate and irrigate according to crop size, container volume and environmental conditions. Because the medium contains 30% perlite, it drains more rapidly than conventional coco and irrigation frequency may need to be increased accordingly.
Atami specifically advises growers to increase watering to match the increased drainage of High Porosity Cocos. This does not simply mean applying excessive water at each irrigation. The irrigation strategy should be adjusted to the crop and growing environment, with frequency and volume managed to maintain the desired moisture and air balance.
High Porosity Cocos is pre-fertilised, so its existing nutrient content should be considered when establishing the initial feeding programme. As plants develop, use an appropriate coco nutrient and monitor nutrient solution strength according to crop requirements.
As with other coco-based growing systems, monitoring irrigation, EC and crop response provides greater control than relying on a fixed watering or feeding schedule.
Why does high porosity matter?
Healthy roots require both water and oxygen. When a growing medium remains excessively saturated or compacted, the amount of air available around the roots can decrease.
Atami adds 30% perlite to High Porosity Cocos specifically to increase air availability and drainage. Perlite creates additional pore space within the coco, helping the root zone retain an open physical structure following irrigation.
Atami explains that oxygen is required by roots to process sugars into usable energy. This energy supports root expansion and the plant's ability to actively supply nutrients throughout the crop.
The combination of coco's useful moisture-holding characteristics with the increased air space provided by perlite creates a substrate suited to growers looking for a high air-to-water ratio and rapid drainage.
Why are the coco fibres washed and buffered?
Quality coco requires preparation before it becomes a reliable growing substrate. Atami ages, washes and buffers its coco to produce a cleaner and more stable root-zone environment.
Washing helps remove salts and residues that can increase the electrical conductivity of untreated coco. Buffering is a separate process that conditions the natural exchange sites within coco and helps balance elements such as calcium and magnesium before cultivation begins.
This preparation means growers receive a professionally processed coco substrate rather than untreated raw coir. High Porosity Cocos then adds 30% perlite to this prepared coco to further increase aeration and drainage.
High Porosity Cocos vs standard Atami coco
Atami High Porosity Cocos is designed for growers who specifically want additional aeration and drainage. The addition of 30% perlite gives it a more open structure than Atami's standard Cocos Substrate.
It also differs from Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos. Washed & Buffered Cocos is a 100% coco product with no added fertiliser and an exceptionally low EC, giving experienced growers a blank canvas for their own nutrition programme.
High Porosity Cocos is instead a pre-fertilised 70/30 coco-perlite medium, designed to combine processed coco with increased air space and faster drainage.

What is the coco to perlite ratio?
High Porosity Cocos contains 70% coco and 30% perlite. The perlite increases pore space, drainage and air availability throughout the root zone.
Is Atami High Porosity Cocos washed and buffered?
Yes. Atami uses aged, washed and buffered coco fibres. These preparation processes help create a cleaner, more stable and grow-ready coco substrate.
Is Atami High Porosity Cocos pre-fertilised?
Yes. High Porosity Cocos is pre-fertilised. This is an important difference from Atami Washed & Buffered Cocos, which contains no added fertiliser.
What is the EC of Atami High Porosity Cocos?
Atami specifies an EC of less than 1.5 for High Porosity Cocos.
Why is perlite added to coco?
Perlite creates additional air-filled pore space within the substrate. In High Porosity Cocos, the 30% perlite content increases drainage and helps maintain oxygen availability around the root system.
Does High Porosity Cocos need more frequent watering?
Potentially, yes. Atami specifically advises increasing watering to match the increased drainage of High Porosity Cocos. The actual irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to crop size, container volume and environmental conditions.
Is Atami High Porosity Cocos suitable for drip irrigation?
Yes. Its high drainage and aeration make it particularly well suited to controlled and frequent irrigation strategies, including drip-irrigated coco cultivation.
Do I need to add extra perlite?
No additional perlite is normally required. High Porosity Cocos already contains 30% perlite and has been specifically formulated to provide a high level of aeration and drainage.
What is the difference between High Porosity Cocos and Atami Cocos Substrate?
Both use processed, pre-fertilised Atami coco, but High Porosity Cocos contains 30% perlite. This gives it increased aeration and drainage compared with the standard Cocos Substrate.
What is the difference between High Porosity Cocos and Washed & Buffered Cocos?
High Porosity Cocos is a pre-fertilised 70/30 coco-perlite growing medium. Washed & Buffered Cocos is 100% coco with no added fertiliser and an EC below 0.3, making it more suitable for growers wanting complete control of nutrition from the start.
Why is oxygen important in a coco root zone?
Roots require oxygen for respiration and energy production. Maintaining an airy root zone supports root expansion and the development of root hairs involved in water and nutrient uptake.
Can High Porosity Cocos be used for professional growing?
Yes. The combination of controlled drainage, high porosity and processed coco makes it particularly useful for professional and intensive coco cultivation where irrigation and crop nutrition are actively managed.
Is Atami High Porosity Cocos ready to use?

How many bags of Atami High Porosity Cocos are on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 70 x 50L bags of Atami High Porosity Cocos.
The Growers Own Perlite 50L is designed for incorporating into suitable growing-media mixes to increase air-filled porosity and modify drainage.
Perlite is a lightweight mineral growing-media component commonly used to alter the physical properties of a substrate. The appropriate inclusion rate depends on the crop, base medium, container, irrigation strategy and production conditions.
Key benefits
- Product type: Horticultural Perlite
- Designed for incorporating into suitable growing-media mixes to increase air-filled porosity and modify drainage
- Stated size/capacity: 50L
- Suitable for horticultural use where appropriate
Using perlite in growing media
Blend perlite evenly through a compatible substrate where increased aeration or a change in drainage behaviour is required. Avoid assuming one fixed percentage suits every crop: container depth, peat/coir content, irrigation frequency and crop water demand all affect the ideal physical structure.
Handle dry perlite carefully to minimise airborne dust. Lightly damping material before mixing can help where appropriate.
Root-zone management
Adding perlite changes how water and air occupy pore spaces in the growing medium. Monitor irrigation after changing a mix because a substrate with more perlite may wet and dry differently from the original formulation.
Good working practice
Keep equipment and materials clean and clearly identified. Follow the instructions for any fertiliser, additive or treatment being prepared and use appropriate PPE where required by the product label or workplace assessment.
Storage & maintenance
Store the product clean, dry and protected from damage. Electronic meters should be maintained according to their manufacturer instructions; measuring equipment should be replaced if markings or condition no longer allow reliable use.

The Clover 200L FINE GRADE IRISH MOSS PEAT is a fine grade irish moss peat intended for professional substrate blending and propagation-media preparation requiring a finer peat grade.
Clover growing media are used across professional horticulture where growers need to select the substrate according to crop type, container size, irrigation practice and production stage.
Bag size: 200L.
Key benefits
- Specialist fine grade irish moss peat
- Designed for professional substrate blending and propagation-media preparation requiring a finer peat grade
- 200L professional bag size
- Suitable for planned nursery and growing programmes
Recommended applications
Use this product for professional substrate blending and propagation-media preparation requiring a finer peat grade. The exact crop response will depend on plant species, container volume, irrigation, feeding and the wider production environment.
Using professional growing media
Fill pots, trays or planting areas evenly without unnecessary compaction. After planting, irrigate according to the crop and allow the medium to settle naturally around the root system.
Monitor moisture rather than watering solely to a fixed timetable. Water demand changes with crop size, temperature, light, airflow and container volume.
Nutrition & crop management
Where a growing medium contains a starter nutrient charge, its duration will vary with crop demand and irrigation. Establish an appropriate ongoing feeding programme for longer-term production rather than assuming the original nutrient supply will last indefinitely.
For specialist crops, match pH, nutrition and irrigation to the plant's requirements and current production guidance.
Storage & handling
Store bags in a suitable area before use and protect opened material from contamination. Avoid unnecessary compaction during handling so the physical structure of the growing medium is maintained.

Irrigation & root-zone management
Longer production cycles need regular monitoring of nutrition, moisture and substrate structure.
Fill containers consistently without unnecessary compaction. Monitor moisture through the root zone and adjust watering according to crop size, weather, pot volume and the substrate's behaviour.
Feeding & crop management
Set nutrient inputs according to crop demand, irrigation water and the growing-medium analysis. The exact nutrient charge, pH and EC for this formulation should be checked on the current product specification before establishing a crop-specific feeding programme.

Van der Knaap Peat-Reduced Nursery Stock 70L FAQs
What is this blend intended for?
A nursery stock growing medium for container production and growing-on of established young plants. What is the difference between peat-free and peat-reduced?
Peat-free growing media contain no peat. Peat-reduced growing media still contain some peat, alongside other substrate components. How should I manage watering?
Longer production cycles need regular monitoring of nutrition, moisture and substrate structure. Can I use it for shrubs and perennials?
Yes. It is intended for nursery stock, including suitable container-grown shrubs and perennials. Is this supplied by the bag or pallet?
It is sold as one 70L bag. A full pallet contains 39 bags. Will I need to adjust feeding?
Possibly. Monitor crop response and the growing medium and adjust nutrition to the crop, water quality and production stage rather than assuming one feeding programme suits every blend.
