| DEVOTION PLANTING MIX FOR SANDY & LOAMY SOILS The Devotion range of potting and planting mixes contain
starter fertilisers and trace elements. There are no controlled release fertilisers
contained within them, which means that
they are suitable for planting all types of
plants into, including phosphorus sensitive plants such as grevilleas, proteas and
natives. The even greater advantage is that controlled release fertilisers can be added to
your potting mix as required. Pellets of slow release fertiliser that are contained within
most potting mixes have partially or totally discharged at the time of use.
Devotion Planting Mix for
Sandy & Loam Soils has been formulated to add fibrous organic material
to garden beds to improve moisture and nutrient holding capacity, whilst aerating the
garden beds. The organic matter consists of fine-composted pine bark and high quality
sphagnum peat and will assist plant growth in the beds for many years.
Before removing your plant from its pot, water the root ball soaking it thoroughly with
water. For maximum benefit before planting, soak your plants in Devotion Liquid Leaf
& Stem Food to reduce transplant shock and give your newly planted plants a boost. |
