Soil mix advice

[Patrick Palms]

I have purchased some Golden form of Adonidia seedlings.     I saw some Ponytail mix for sale, is this mix also good for Adonidia seedlings?

 

Heres description of the Ponytail soil mix for sale:-

 

FORMULA 4 - ORGANIC POTTING MIX FOR PONYTAIL PALMS (Beaucarnea, Nolina)

 

 WITH NEEM ORGANIC FERTILIZER & COCONUT FIBRE DRAINAGE LAYER

 

2.7 Litres in a resealable, free standing, foil bag

 

SMILING WORM - FORMULA 4 POTTING MIX:  This unique blend has been developed for plants in pots, planters and containers. We have created a blend of 4 organic peat-free ingredients with the emphasis on good drainage. To complete the growing experience we include a bag of our amazing Neem organic fertilizer and a bag of our coconut fibre drainage layer. (Bag sizes according to volume ordered).

 

This offer comprises potting soil blend as follows:

 

1. Washed cocopeat with natural rooting hormones.

2. Fine grade coconut husk chips to retain air and nutrients in the soil.

3. Silica rich rice hulls which stimulate cell development in roots and shoots. They are also the recognized organic alternative to Perlite.

4. Coconut husk shell charcoal to absorb toxins and provide excellent drainage.

 

And for added value:

 

5. Natural NPK Neem organic certified fertilizer in a separate bag. We do not mix it in the soil in advance to give you the flexibility to suit the needs of your plants. Neem fertilizer is made from the seeds of the Neem tree (Azadirachta Indica). Our Neem is delivered to us every week, so you are assured of fresh, potent fertilizer. It produces amazing results with any kind of plant.

 

6. We include a bag coconut fibre. We don't know of any other soil supplier who includes this useful feature. Use it as an organic drainage layer for your plants. Simply place one inch (2.54 cm) in the bottom of the pot before adding the potting mix. It will help prevent the mix from being washed through when you water your plants and provide a growing zone for deep roots. It also helps to prevent insect infestation through the pot drainage holes. 

 

Most potting mixes contain up to 40% moisture. We don't think customers should have to buy old water. Our mixes are supplied almost dry. Add fresh water when your potting process is finished..
