The Perfect Soil Mix for Maximum Yield
To get maximum yield from your plants, it’s important to create a soil mix that supports healthy root development and provides optimal nutrition. Here’s how you can create the perfect soil mix.
1. Start with High Quality Spaghnum and Perlite
The first step in creating an ideal soil mix is to choose a high-quality spaghnum as a base. To ensure that the soil remains airy and doesn’t become too heavy, you should add 10-20% perlite. Perlite improves drainage and increases oxygen supply to the roots, which is essential for healthy growth. An airy soil mix makes it easier for the roots to spread and absorb the necessary nutrients.
2. Add Root Explosion for Beneficial Bacteria
To give your plants the best start, add 2g of our product Root Explosion per liter of soil. Root Explosion is packed with beneficial soil bacteria that improve the soil’s microflora and help break down organic matter, making it easier for plants to absorb nutrients. This results in stronger and healthier roots, which in turn leads to larger and more robust plants.
3. Use Worm Castings for Natural Nutrition
Worm castings, or worm compost, is a great addition to any soil mix. By adding 10% worm castings to your soil mix, you add natural nutrients and enzymes that promote growth. However, be careful not to add too much as it can make the mix heavy. The right amount of worm castings can improve the structure of the soil and increase its ability to retain moisture without compromising airiness.
4. Place Leca Nuts in the bottom of the pot
To ensure that excess water drains effectively, you can place a layer of leca nuts at the bottom of the pot. Leca nuts improve drainage and help prevent root rot, which can occur if the roots are standing in water. This small step can make a big difference in maintaining a healthy root system.
Conclusion
By creating a soil mix that combines high-quality spaghnum, perlite, Root Explosion, worm castings and leca nuts, you create the ideal environment for your plants. This mix ensures that the roots have access to the air and nutrients they need while keeping the soil light and airy. With the right soil mix, your plants will grow healthy and give you the maximum yield.
