Cocoperlite is a fantastic growing medium for variegated plants, offering excellent aeration and water retention. However, it's essential to maintain the correct EC and pH levels to ensure your plants can access the nutrients they need to thrive.

EC (Electrical Conductivity): This measures the nutrient concentration in your coco coir. Variegated plants often require a slightly lower EC than their non-variegated counterparts, as excessive nutrients can sometimes mask variegation.

pH (potential of Hydrogen): Maintaining the ideal pH range in coco coir is crucial for nutrient availability.

FOR ALL. INDOOR VARIEGATED PLANTS I USE EC 1.6 TO 2.0 AND USUALLY JUST DO 2.0

PH ALWAYS 6.0

Professor's Cocoperlite Tips!

Choose high-quality coco coir: Look for pre-washed and buffered coco coir to avoid any pH imbalances.

Flush regularly: Flushing your coco coir with plain water periodically helps prevent salt buildup and maintains optimal nutrient balance.

Calibrate your meters: Ensure your EC and pH meters are properly calibrated for accurate readings.
