FoxFarm Bush Doctor Coco Loco Potting Mix has coconut coir that acts like little sponges that allow plants to have access to water whenever they need it. This potting mix has the same ingredients as in the ground of a rainforest. The ground is deep with exotic coconut palm humus and remains cool and damp for many inches. The texture is silky and soft which makes it the perfect medium for growing plants. Lower humidity will reduce the chance of mold and root rot and also insects will be less likely to bother the plants. This mix allows you to water less than the normal potting mix. It has been triple washed with low salt content. In most climates, watering every two to three days is ideal. Alway change your watering schedule as needed.

All of our soil products offer balanced nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. We pH adjust them to a neutral range of 6.3 – 6.8. Because of the premium organic ingredients that we use, there is no risk of burning your plants. Our soils are ready to use, right out of the bag. There is no NPK listed on our soil packages because they are not fertilizers, but growing mediums. The real power of our soils lies in the fact that they are teeming with beneficial micro-organisms. Our soils are never steam sterilized, which allows these microorganisms to thrive and convert the organic nutrients into a form the plant can utilize.
No, we don’t sterilize our soils because that would kill the very beneficial microbes which are critical in making nutrients available to plants. Your soil should be alive, not sterile! Our mixes contain beneficial fungi and micro-organisms that help plants become more disease resistant and grow healthy root systems. FoxFarm soils and fertilizers are specially formulated to build massive microbe populations.
