Potting Mix
The right potting mix makes the difference between plants that survive and plants that thrive. Different plants need different mixes, and getting it wrong is one of the most common reasons potted plants struggle.
We carry potting mixes for every application: general-purpose blends for most plants, specialist orchid and cacti mixes, seed-raising mixes for propagation, and bulk options for large projects. All our mixes meet Australian Standards certification.
When choosing a potting mix, look for the red tick on the bag. This means it meets Australian Standards for quality, with the right balance of drainage, water retention, and nutrients. A premium mix with slow-release fertiliser and water-holding crystals will give you the best results with less effort.
Potting mix breaks down over time, so repot plants into fresh mix every 1u20132 years. If your potted plants seem to be struggling despite regular watering and feeding, old potting mix is often the cause.
For container gardens and large pots, a premium potting mix pays for itself in healthier plants and less replacement. For seed raising and propagation, use a fine-textured seed-raising mix that stays evenly moist.
