70% · PITH
Moisture and nutrient availability
The pith-led fraction supports even hydration and available water between irrigation events while providing the familiar handling characteristics of coco coir.

70/30 coco pith and husk chip substrate blend
A commercial coco substrate direction combining 70% moisture-retentive coir pith with 30% structural husk chips. Designed for buyers who need a practical balance of water availability, drainage and root-zone aeration in grow bags, slabs or custom formats.
The ratio explained
70% coco pith. 30% husk chips.
This page refers to a pith-and-chip blend—not the common 70% coco and 30% perlite retail mix. Final particle grading and physical performance require specification review.
30% · CHIPS
Structure and drainage
Husk chips introduce larger pore spaces that help preserve substrate structure and drainage under repeated irrigation.

Confirm it for your crop
Crop, container geometry, irrigation frequency and cycle length determine whether 70/30 is suitable or another ratio should be specified.
Selection guidance
How to evaluate a 70/30 coco blend
The 70/30 ratio describes the share of coco pith and husk chips, but it does not by itself predict the final air-filled porosity, water-holding capacity or irrigation response. Chip grading, pith texture, compression, container height and drainage openings all affect how the substrate behaves after hydration.
Where this blend direction can be useful
A pith-led blend can provide a stable moisture reserve while the chip fraction introduces larger pores and helps maintain structure. It may be considered for commercial grow bags, slabs and containers where the crop requires dependable hydration without relying on fine pith alone. Suitability still needs to be matched to crop duration, root density, greenhouse climate and irrigation strategy.
Confirm these variables before ordering
- Crop and expected production cycle
- Container, bag or slab dimensions
- Plant count per unit
- Emitter flow and irrigation frequency
- Target drainage and dryback behaviour
- Source-water EC and alkalinity
- Required hydrated volume
- Requested pallet or container quantity
Compare specifications, not ratio labels alone
Two products both described as 70/30 can perform differently when their particle distribution, washing, buffering or compression varies. Ask for the applicable specification and batch documentation, then validate the selected format under your own irrigation programme. For a deeper comparison of physical behaviour, use the air-porosity and water-holding guide or review technical coco coir resources.
