Coco and Other Substrats
For your convenience, Urban Botaniks store offers substrates in small and large cuts, we will list the advantages of some of them for more information, please read the description of the product itself:
Coconut presses - low EC value <0.8 mS / cm, ideal pH value 5.8,stimulates root development, good and fast water absorption, can be reused
Hydro coconut substrate - 60% expanded clay and 40% coconut fiber. A well-aerated substrate with an ideal water-air ratio is perfect for growing fast-growing plants in recirculating hydroponic systems. Rapid growth and abundant flowering, pH: 5.0-6.5, electrical conductivity (EC): 0.5μS / cm; initial fertilizer NPK 14-16-18 + CaO.
Mapito - is a substrate mixture that uses mineral wool and PU (polyurethane) flakes. Contains organic elements that accelerate plant growth. It has a solid construction that has an optimal balance of water and oxygen.
Perlite - used for mixing in substrates or as a separate substrate for hydroponic cultivation.
Vermiculite - a naturally soft and porous material, has a high cation exchange - this helps the gradual release of nutrients. Suitable for seedling substrates.
Aquaclay - is produced from special types of clay that have a low dissolved salt content. It is therefore particularly suitable for use in closed hydroponic plant growing systems.

Vermiculite 1L
Vermiculite 1L is a naturally soft and porous material obtained by mica expansion. Vermiculite has high cation exchange - this helps in the gradual release of nutrients - potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silicon and other trace elements.
- Holds up to 4 times more water while protecting the roots from rot.
- Absorbs excess fertilizers and additives, then gradually gives them away.
- Improves aeration and drainage features of soil.
- Perlite "loves" the air, and vermiculite - the water.
- It is suitable for potting substrates
Vermiculite 100L
Vermiculite 100L is a naturally soft and porous material obtained by mica expansion. Vermiculite has high cation exchange - this helps in the gradual release of nutrients - potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silicon and other trace elements.
- Holds up to 4 times more water while protecting the roots from rot.
- Absorbs excess fertilizers and additives, then gradually gives them away.
- Improves aeration and drainage features of soil.

CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles 1L
CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles are baked clay pellets* that form an ideal substrate* for use by experienced growers. Aqua Clay Pebbles are ideal for growers who want to control the application of nutrients and the humidity level of their plants throughout the entire cultivation process. CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles are manufactured from special types of clay that have a low soluble salt content. Because of this, they are particularly suited for use in closed hydroponic* cultivation systems.
- CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles have both high porosity and high air content which stimulate the development of strong roots that grip the substrate well. Strong roots mean bigger yields.
- Aqua Clay Pebbles are inorganic, have a neutral pH value, are fungus free and do not rot.
- Fraction: 8-16mm

Bio Nova Coco Brick 1pc
This block of compressed coconut results into 10 litres of ready-to-use coconut substrate after adding 3.5 - 4 litres of water to it. Furthermore its volume will increase approximately tenfold. As a result of its initial size the substrate is fairly easy to transport.
Compared to regular peat substrate (potting soil) coco substrate has a great number of benefits, which are:.
- it is easy to use
- it has the low EC value of < 0.8 mS/cm
- it has the ideal pH value of 5.8
- it stimulates a perfect root development
- the coco substrate is not compact which makes it easy to drain,
- it is a light product: 85kg/m3 (peat substrate weighs 125kg/m3)
- coconut has a good and swift water absorption
- coco substrate can be re-used
- the use of coconut often leads to a higher yield compared to other substrates
