Devotion Yucca, Succulent & Cacti Mix
The Devotion range of potting and planting mixes contain starter fertilisers and trace elements. There are no controlled release fertilisers in 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 needed for each individual plant. Pellets of slow release fertiliser that are pre-mixed into most commercial potting mixes have partially or totally discharged by the time you take them home and use them. Devotion Yucca, Succulent & Cacti Mix has been formulated to contain washed propagation sand & Creswick quartz to provide good drainage and air filled porosity for your plants. It also contains zeolite minerals and starter fertilisers. Your Yucca, Succulents & Cacti will grow strong and healthy in this mix. Yucca, Succulents & Cacti are best grown in full sun and can also be grown in morning shade and indoors in well lit positions. POTTING YOUR YUCCA, SUCCULENTS & CACTI |
