Description

A peat-free houseplant mix for garden centres, florists, plant shops and other resellers. Indoors, houseplants are often given too much water, or too little. This mix copes better with both: fine coir quickly takes up water again after a dry spell, while coarse coir and perlite make sure the roots keep their air, even in a wet pot.

Suitable for most foliage houseplants. For cacti and succulents, extra perlite is recommended.

  • Peat-free, 70% coir
  • With base fertiliser
  • 20 or 40-litre bag, available by the pallet
  • Also available as private label, on request
