PRO-MIX BK25
The key for the selection of growing media for foliage plants is based on the plant variety and container height. Tall containers provide a greater column of growing medium and drain well; therefore, a growing medium with a high water holding capacity is needed. Shorter containers have a lower column of growing medium and a greater saturated zone; therefore, a growing medium with a lower water holding capacity is needed. However, since foliage plants tend to be top heavy, a growing medium with a high bulk density is needed to stabilize the container. This is where bark mixes work best. They provide a low water holding capacity and a higher bulk density compared to peat-based media. If high drainage and weight are required, PRO-MIX® BRK works best. For a slightly lower drainage capacity and greater water retention, PRO-MIX® BRK20 may be more suitable.

Coir – A Component of Growing Media
Coco coir is the term given to a range of natural products manufactured from coconut husks that are used in horticultural applications. Although sometimes referred to as ‘coco peat’, coir is not peat at all, and it is incorrect to call it by this name.
