How can you use Canna Coco Growing Substrate?
Canna Coco is made up of finely ground flakes of coconut fiber. The fiber is naturally high in potassium and sodium levels. Left alone, those levels will damage the plant. So Canna Coco is treated, and washed. It is also given calcium and magnesium. These two primary nutrients encourage plant growth. Canna Coco contains trichoderma. That mold fights root disease, and stimulates root development. It holds water well, because of its good air and water content. And it buffers pH. So available nutrients can be taken in by the plant. For those nutrients can only be taken in, and processed, in water soluble forms. The preceding advantages can be made available to plants, in the forms of fertilizer and of growing medium. In terms of the former, Canna Coco can be used in soil, such as in container gardening. Spent flakes can be recycled, as compostable material or as mulch. In terms of the latter, it can be used hydroponically.
