{"product_id":"canna-coco-professional-plus","title":"CANNA Coco Professional Plus","description":"\u003cp\u003eCANNA Coco Professional Plus is a coco-based growing medium made entirely from coco flakes. It gives roots an open, airy structure that still holds plenty of water. Its strongest distinction is full buffering. Raw coir can take up some of the nutrients meant for the plant, and CANNA's buffering process removes that side effect, so more of the feed stays available to the crop. It suits growers who run a coco feed and want a clean substrate that stays the same from one bag to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base material is selected prime Indian coconut. CANNA state that not a single flake touches the ground during production and that every piece is washed in fresh water, so no salts are present when the bag is opened. The flakes contain 45% wood cellulose, which lets the medium keep its physical structure for a long time instead of breaking down as it ages. The buffering process also lets CANNA pre-programme the medium to a set age, which is why the material stays consistent from batch to batch. The result is a pure, organic medium with a homogeneous structure and a complex water and air system. CANNA give its water to air ratio as 73% to 23%. Their production process leaves it free of harmful viruses and soil diseases. The Professional series carries the R.H.P. quality mark, a European quality mark for growing media. CANNA also note that their coco is not sterilised, so it keeps its natural sponge-like qualities and the beneficial fungus Trichoderma, which they credit with helping root development, growth and re-use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCANNA recommend pots of at least 5 L. The larger the pot, the more constant the root environment will be, so a bigger container is the easy way to steady the root zone between waterings. For best results they pair it with their own COCO nutrient range. Professional Plus can be used a number of times without losing quality, which spreads the cost of a bag over several crops. Once it has grown its last crop, it makes an excellent potting mix improver, so spent medium can go into garden beds and containers instead of going to waste. The 50 L bag is packed in 100% recyclable plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CANNA","offers":[{"title":"50 L","offer_id":67551793971358,"sku":"753321681761","price":45.12,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/5261\/6094\/files\/CANNA_Coco_Professional_Plus_50L.png?v=1793401547","url":"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/canna-coco-professional-plus","provider":"Hydro Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
