House and Garden Cocos Nutrient B – Two-Part Base Nutrient for Coco Coir
The House and Garden Cocos Nutrient B is a concentrated liquid base fertilizer specifically formulated for plants grown in coco coir and coco-based growing media. Designed to work alongside House and Garden Cocos Nutrient A, this two-part nutrient system provides essential macro- and secondary nutrients to support vigorous vegetative growth, healthy flowering, and efficient nutrient uptake.
Cocos Nutrient B supplies phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium as part of the complete A&B feeding program. Its balanced formulation takes into account the unique nutrient-holding properties of coco coir, helping growers maintain consistent plant nutrition throughout the growing cycle.
Ideal for indoor cultivation, commercial greenhouses, and controlled-environment agriculture, this professional-grade fertilizer suits pure coco coir and growing media with at least 30% coco.

Why Choose House and Garden Cocos Nutrient B?
Coco coir offers excellent water retention, aeration, and drainage, making it a popular substrate for professional horticulture and hydroponic cultivation.
However, its unique cation-exchange capacity affects how nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium are retained and made available to plants.
House and Garden developed Cocos A&B to address these nutritional requirements with a balanced two-part fertilizer system.
Cocos Nutrient B works together with Part A to provide the essential nutrients needed for consistent vegetative development, flowering, and overall plant performance.
Balanced Nutrition for Coco Coir Cultivation
Cocos Nutrient B contains important nutritional components that contribute to different plant functions.
Phosphorus supports energy transfer, root development, and flowering.
Potassium contributes to water regulation, enzyme activity, and overall plant strength.
Magnesium is an essential component of chlorophyll and supports photosynthesis.
When combined with Cocos Nutrient A in equal amounts, Part B completes the base feeding program, helping growers maintain balanced nutrition during changing growth stages.
Ideal Applications

- Coco-based substrate blends
- Drain-to-waste irrigation systems
- Vegetative plant development
- Flowering and fruiting crops

Recommended Dosage
House and Garden recommends using 0.5–3 mL per litre (approximately 2–11 mL per US gallon) of each component, depending on plant development and the feeding schedule.
Cocos Nutrient B Dosage:
-
1 US gal (3.785 L): Approximately 2–11 mL
-
5 L (1.32 US gal): 2.5–15 mL
-
10 L (2.64 US gal): 5–30 mL
-
20 L (5.28 US gal): 10–60 mL
-
50 L (13.21 US gal): 25–150 mL
-
100 L (26.42 US gal): 50–300 mL
Important: Always add an equal amount of Cocos Nutrient A. For example, if your feeding schedule requires 2 mL/L of Part B, add 2 mL/L of Part A as well.
These quantities represent the manufacturer's general dilution range, not a fixed dosage for every growth stage. Consult the official feeding chart for exact application rates.
How to Use House and Garden Cocos Nutrient B
Fill your nutrient reservoir with clean water.
Add the required quantity of House and Garden Cocos Nutrient A first, mixing thoroughly before introducing Part B.
Once Part A is fully dispersed, add an equal amount of Cocos Nutrient B and mix again.
Add compatible House and Garden supplements individually, allowing each product to mix before adding the next.
Check the electrical conductivity (EC) and adjust the solution's pH to the recommended 5.8–6.3 range.
Apply through regular irrigation according to the plant's growth stage and the manufacturer's feeding schedule.
Important Mixing Precaution: Never combine concentrated Cocos A and Cocos B directly. Mixing undiluted concentrates can cause nutrient precipitation, reducing nutrient availability and potentially blocking irrigation equipment.
