Horticultural substrate FORESTINA Standard 40l

Product detailed description

Special gardening substrate for universal use with fertiliser for 6 weeks.

Description:
The gardening substrate is made from a mixture of sorted light and black upland peat with the addition of NPK mineral fertiliser and compost. Due to its unique composition, it maintains the looseness and airiness of the soil and thus guarantees good growth, abundant root and flower formation in all types of plants. By retaining the sun's rays, it allows better use of heat for plant growth, accelerates rooting and contributes to moisture retention.

Application:
The gardening substrate is used for planting flowers and vegetables, planting ornamental and fruit shrubs and trees in the garden, as well as for planting flowers in containers. To improve the soil structure, the substrate can be incorporated into the soil or mixed with soil in a 1:1 ratio. When planting in containers, cover the drainage holes with stone shards. Sprinkle a little substrate in the bottom of the container, plant the plant and add another portion of substrate. Press it lightly against the root ball and finally top it up so that the top layer remains loose. When planting in beds, add substrate to the desired height, or remove the drained soil and replace it with substrate. Water the plants after planting. After 6 weeks (when the fertiliser supply in the substrate has been exhausted), start fertilising regularly. It is not suitable for acid-loving plants and further for plant propagation and for plants sensitive to higher nutrient content.
