Ingredients
Notable ingredients found in this potting mix are:
- AquaCoir®: A coconut coir-based technology, its fibrous structure creates air pockets in the soil, helping the circulation of air and water to plant roots. This improved aeration prevents soil compaction, enhances root development, and reduces the risk of waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Additionally, coir's ability to retain moisture ensures that plants have consistent access to water, even during periods of drought. Sphagnum Peat Moss: It helps to keep the soil consistently moist, providing an ideal environment for plant roots to absorb water and nutrients. Additionally, it adds structure to the mix, preventing it from becoming too dense to help root penetration and expansion. Its acidic nature also helps to balance the pH of the soil, creating a favourable growing environment for a wide range of plants.
- Perlite: Improves soil aeration and drainage by creating air pockets within the soil, allowing for better circulation of air and water. This enhanced aeration is crucial for healthy root development, as it prevents soil compaction and ensures that roots receive sufficient oxygen.
- Plant Food: Provides vital source of essential nutrients that plants need for healthy growth and development
