In my travels and correspondence around the world, I find there is much confusion about the use of coconut husk litter, after ageing commonly known as coco peat or mulch, in crop production.

Plants need water to grow and develop. I suppose every grower gets this part. However, the questions how much, how often and when to water may be less obvious.

Organic, inorganic, mineral, natural, all natural… what do they all mean? How come some of these terms get bantered about so loosely? It’s confusing and made more so by advertising and politics.

CANNA offers a complete COCO system.

Cultivating plants requires time and energy. Naturally every new grower aims for the best results.

Nothing could be simpler - take a pair of scissors, cut some tips off a plant, place the cut tips into a medium and away they go, right?

Roots are one of the most important parts of the plant for taking up nutrients and water. For some growers, they are so important that they always check the root system before watering.

Good quality water is the foundation of all soilless growing, however not everyone is blessed with a suitable water source for hydroponics.

There are very many different types of coco medium available on the market today, from many different manufacturers, and that number is constantly growing.

All over the world, there is debate about the exact definition of hard water and soft water, and how this should be taken into account when feeding plants.
