Description
Seedlings and cuttings are sensitive to salts and fluctuating moisture. This fine substrate therefore has a low base fertiliser level and a fraction that suits seeds and cuttings, including in trays and small pots.
Fine coir improves capillary action and rewetting, while perlite keeps the mix open, so roots grow through quickly.
- Fraction 0-5 mm, fine
- EC 0.3-0.5 and pH 5.5-6.0 (indicative)
- Available in a 20-litre bag, as loose bulk and in crates
