Plant Survival

With Australia’s hot and dry summers, pot plants are really at risk.  For this reason you need to select only the best potting mixes as these perform far better and longer under stress.

Cheap potting mixes are false economy and will actually cost you heaps of money.  They dry out and are very difficult to re-wet – no matter how hard you try.

The best mixes like Terracotta Potting Mixes are far better in all pots and especially in vertical gardens.

These mixes contain wetting agents, water storage crystals, slow release fertilizer and other bits of modern science.

You get what you pay for – so always buy the best quality potting mixes.

Hooroo!
