Can you grow gerberas in cocopeat with out mixing it with perlite?
A.A quality Management of gerbera production is much easier in growing media with a very high air filled porosity .This is why growers have traditionally blended cocopeat with 20 to 40% coarse perlite aiming for an AFP of 25 to 35% .Galuku Pty ltd has spent many years working with the flower growers and our engineers to develop a grade of cocopeat that’s AFP and WHC is ideal for cut flower production.Trial results have been very good.
