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.

Light Amendment Charge
