Cultivation Nation 70:30 Coco Coir & Perlite Growing Media — 2 cu ft
Product description
You will receive one 2-cubic-foot bag with each purchase.
This growing medium is a blended mix of buffered coconut coir and perlite in a 70:30 proportion. The coconut coir component acts as a water reservoir and holds nutrients, while the perlite introduces porosity to prevent compaction and improve oxygen exchange around roots. Together they provide improved aeration, reliable drainage, and consistent moisture retention compared with plain soil.
Intended for use in pots and other containers in both outdoor and indoor settings, plants can be put directly into this bag for quick setup. The material is suitable for vegetative growth, root development from cuttings, and for growers using tailored feeding regimens. Packaged as a single 2 cu ft bag, the mix is ready to use straight from the bag.
Pros
- Balances moisture retention and aeration
- Ready to plant directly into containers
- Buffered coir reduces compaction
Cons
- Bag can be punctured during shipping
- May require added nutrients for long-term feeding
- Not a complete soil substitute for some crops
VerdictA dependable container media that combines water retention and open structure. The 70% buffered coco coir retains moisture and nutrients, while 30% perlite creates air pockets and speeds drainage. Good for custom feeding schedules, cuttings, and both hydro-inspired and conventional container systems.

Packaging Issues but Product Is Fine
The medium itself performs well, but bags sometimes arrive with small tears. I now buy locally to avoid damaged packaging.

Good for Rooting Cuttings
Provides an inert, well-draining medium for rooting cuttings. A bit pricier than some alternatives, but the bag size is generous and the clips I’ve started are alive and growing so far.

Thriving Plants
Used this in an all-organic grow and the drainage was perfect. I didn’t need to amend it initially and it felt much lighter than garden soil. After five weeks my plants look healthy; I’ll repurchase for the next round and I’m excited to see final yields.

Top-Quality Mix for Strong Growth
Tried the 70/30 coco-perlite blend and it performed very well. The texture is airy and light, helping roots breathe while holding just enough moisture. Plants stayed hydrated without sitting in water, which improved overall vigor. I’ll continue using this mix for my garden planning.

Noticeable Root Vigor
Switched from another coco product and saw faster root development and healthier plants. Veg time shortened noticeably between identical clones. The 2 cu ft bag also gives more volume than some competitors, making it better value overall.
