Potting Soil Terraces and Balconies Vilmorin, Set of 2 Bags of 20L

The essentials for a thriving urban garden: potting soil for terraces and balconies

Growing your own plants, flowers or vegetables in the city is a passion shared by more and more gardeners. The success of these soilless plantings depends largely on the growing medium used. Terrace and balcony potting soil is a solution designed specifically to meet these constraints. Packaged in a practical set of two 20-litre bags, it makes all your plantings easier, whether in a planter, container or pot. Its rich and balanced composition ensures optimal growth, promoting the development of a dense root system and increased resistance to climatic hazards.

An expert formula for healthy plants

The quality of a potting mix lies in its ability to provide a healthy and nutritious environment for the roots. The mixture of this special terrace potting soil combines several elements for an optimal result. It contains blond peat and Greenpeat, known for their excellent water retention power, thus limiting the need for frequent watering. Compounded softwood bark and powdered clay are added to optimize soil aeration and nutrient fixation.

The addition of biochar and a microbial preparation such as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strengthens plant resistance and improves nutrient availability. These elements are valuable assets for the vitality of your plants. This formulation creates ideal conditions for the proper development of your plants. Whether it's for a climbing rose, a collection of herbs or an annual flower bed, this soil is the starting point for generous blooms and lush foliage.

The choice of simplicity and efficiency

This potting soil is a turnkey product. Its simplified use makes gardening accessible to everyone, from amateurs to the most experienced. Simply fill the container with this substrate, install the plant in it and tamp down slightly. For planting in containers, it is recommended to place a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom for perfect drainage. This growing medium is specially designed to help your plants overcome periods of water stress, whether it's forgetting to water or a high summer heat. This is the guarantee of stronger and more autonomous plants.

• For large plantings in containers or pots more than 40 cm deep, fill the container two-thirds full, install the plant and its stake, then top up with the potting soil.

• For potted plants, annual repotting in spring helps to renew the substrate and give a boost to their growth.

• If you are creating beds directly on a terrace, check the load-bearing capacity and the waterproofing of the soil before placing a layer of potting soil of at least 20 to 40 cm.

An environmentally friendly solution

In order to offer products in accordance with sustainable gardening practices, this soil is certified for use in Organic Farming (UAB). It is enriched with an organo-mineral fertilizer that provides essential nutrients (NPK) at a regular rate, allowing for a healthy and continuous feeding of your plants. The high proportion of dry matter and organic matter in its composition make it a high-quality growing medium, which contributes to soil health and plant vigour.

Tips for optimal use and long-term care

After planting, copious watering is essential to compact the soil around the roots and ensure a good recovery. The maintenance of potted or planter plants requires special attention to watering. Water regularly, especially during hot and dry periods, but don't let the water stagnate. Three weeks after potting, a liquid fertilizer or a long-lasting coated fertilizer will complete the action of the potting soil, ensuring vigorous growth. For an aesthetic touch, you can cover the soil with decorative bark or plant small bedding flowers around large plants.
