i have two big plants in coco and let me tell you ITS A BITCH!
they drink sooo much, yestorday for instance ( first day it's happened)
i ussually water at around 12-2pm at the latest, yestorday at around 3pm i was like oh SHOOT gotta water, i get outside and the two cocos are like wilting and looking like death is awaiting them! it was a bit hot yestorday in the 80s maybe, but everyone else was fine the other mediums( even the ones that are a mix of coco and perlite mix were fine, also 2 big plants) anywho, the plants love them, there just a bitch if you forget to water, not forgiving at all, again, these plants are huge and drink alot but still, similar sized ones in coco mix did not show signs of wilt while the ones in coco only did its a 7L pot w/ coco and 5'9-6' plants...other plants that are in other soils, fox farm, cheap organic miracle gro are more forgiving to the plants then coco, and I have to use alot more water when watering as it just goes right thru my medium, but they like it, I know plants like coco, i guess I would just recommend you use alot of perlite in your mix but not too much maybe like 20-25%
oh yeah, if you have some sort of automatic watering system, this would be perfect! A friend of mine who uses an automatic system gives his plants .5 liters every 5 mins...I see a huge improvement in growth rates with constant small waterings, specially if your medium can take it ( soil you cant do 5 mins it will just med all muddy and you kill your roots)
