Growing citrus fruits and Mediterranean plants, such as lemon, orange or oleander, requires a specific substrate. This is where the set of 2 potting soils VILMORIN Citrus and Mediterranean Plants proves to be a relevant choice. Designed by gardening experts, this potting soil is the result of a meticulous composition to meet the nutritional and water needs of these greedy plants. Its unique formula, enriched with fortifiers, ensures robust growth and abundant flowering, transforming your balcony or garden into a true Mediterranean haven of peace. By opting for this economical lot, you have a reserve of quality substrate for all your repotting and planting projects.
The secret of this potting soil lies in its balanced and innovative composition. In addition to traditional components such as blond peat and composted softwood bark, it incorporates Greenpeat, pozzolan, biochar and crushed horn. This combination not only improves water retention, but also ensures perfect aeration of the roots, thus preventing the risk of asphyxiation and rot. The presence of mycorrhizae (Glomus intraradices strain CMCCROC7) stimulates the development of a dense root network, increasing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients. With this set of two bags, you have the necessary quantity to repot or plant several shrubs without running out of stock.
Whether you're growing in the ground or in pots, preparation is the key to success. For container planting, choose a container with a good drainage system. Place clay pebbles or gravel at the bottom, then fill with the potting soil. If you are repotting, increase the size of the pot to allow room for the roots to develop.
Planting in the ground: Choose a sunny and sheltered location. For heavy soils, mix 2/3 potting soil to 1/3 garden soil. For light soils, opt for a 50/50 mix. Be sure to moisten the root ball well before planting and to form a watering basin around the base.
Planting in pots: Good drainage is essential. Place coarse pieces (stones, rubble) at the bottom, then cover with gravel or clay pebbles to 1/4 to 1/3 of the height of the pot. Moisten the root ball and top up with the potting soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
