Why Growers Love Potting & Propagation Mix
Peat-Free Performance
This mix removes peat moss entirely, eliminating reliance on traditional peat harvesting while still providing a thriving, moisture-friendly environment for early root development.
Excellent Aeration + Drainage
The coco foundation, forest materials, and perlite create a structure that keeps roots oxygenated and reduces risk of compaction or overwatering, while also avoiding other common issues associated with peat moss such as, hydrophobia, and pH issues.
