Fertilome Seed & Cutting Potting Mix

Standard potting soil is often too dense for delicate new roots and may contain larger particles that impede germination. This mix uses fine-grade ingredients to ensure consistent contact with seeds and cuttings, promoting faster root development.

No, this is a specialized propagation medium designed to be lightweight and sterile. It focuses on providing the ideal physical structure for germination rather than nutrient density, which can sometimes burn young, sensitive roots.

It is not recommended. This mix is specifically engineered for the propagation phase; it lacks the nutrient profile and structural density required to support larger, established plants over the long term.

The fine horticultural perlite creates tiny air pockets throughout the soil. This high air capacity prevents the mix from becoming waterlogged, which is the primary cause of 'damping off' and other fungal diseases that often kill seedlings.

This mix is intended for soil-based rooting. If you are transitioning cuttings from water to soil, this blend is excellent because its light texture allows roots to adapt to a solid medium without being smothered.
