Osmocote® Plus Organics Potting & Planting Mix

This mix was specially developed by horticultural experts for outdoor and potted plants as a superior alternative to other regular potting mix and planting soils.

The blend of organic composted material is designed to improve soil structure and encourage strong root systems. It is enriched with:

  • Osmocote® controlled release fertiliser that feeds plants for up to 6 months.
  • Gypsum - a natural clay breaker.
  • Composted manure, blood and bone, seaweed, fish and molasses that stimulate micro-organisms and earthworm activity. Active micro-organisms reduce the incidence of soil-borne disease and assist in nutrient uptake by plants.
  • Professional grade wetting agent that ensures uniform wetting and rewetting of mix.

Potting & Planting Mix nurtures plant growth both above and below the ground. By creating a balanced and sustainable growing environment, plants are healthier, stronger and less susceptible to insect attacks and diseases, season after season.

Potting & Planting Mix gives your plants everything they need to sustain long lasting health.

To improve soil in garden beds, add a 10-15cm layer of Potting & Planting Mix and thoroughly mix into the top 20 to 30cm of soil. For raised beds, add an additional 10cm layer and work through the soil - this should increase the bed 15 to 20cm above the surrounding soil level.

Important

Not suitable for phosphorus-sensitive Australian native plants or members of the Protea family.

Sizes

Available in 25L bags only.
