Our TopMix’s, some of which have added new Hortifibre, provides the perfect balance of aeration, moisture retention, and drainage, ensuring optimal plant growth and productivity. Choosing our high-quality products will set your nursery apart from the competition and provide your customers with the best possible plants.

How to Choose the Best Propagation Mix for Your Nursery

1.Buy from a trusted manufacturer:
Purchasing from a reputable manufacturer is crucial to ensuring your plants receive the nutrients and care they need. Manufacturers will often have different standards, and depending on your plants, some mixes won’t give you results. Be sure to purchase from reputable sources to ensure a safe, weed-free mix. Propagation mixes require exacting standards and specialised mixing lines.

You can trust that our RHP standard coir products are structurally stable, weed-free, and pH balanced for optimal plant growth. Our TopMix and Ellepot Prefilled Mixes are designed to meet your specific requirements, offering standard and custom-made blends that cater to your nursery's unique needs.

2.Choose a mix that provides proper aeration:
Selecting the right propagation mix is essential for promoting healthy root development and preventing issues such as root rot.

Our TopMix blends, and our Ellepot Prefilled Mixes offer the perfect balance of aeration, moisture retention, and drainage, helping your plants thrive. Proper aeration ensures that your plant’s roots have access to the oxygen they need for growth while also preventing soil compaction, which can hinder nutrient uptake.

3.Consider our range of TopMix and Ellepot Prefilled Mixes:
We offer various options for your nursery, including standard and high porosity blends and custom blends tailored to your specifications. Additionally, our mixes incorporate Nutri-Life Tricho-Shield, a biological inoculum of beneficial fungii, and Zeolite for enhanced cation exchange.

These innovative ingredients contribute to a superior growing environment for your plants. Our diverse range of mixes ensures that you can find the perfect blend for your specific plant types and growing conditions, allowing you to optimise the health and growth of your plants.

4.Embrace sustainable potting media trends:
Trends run the market. By choosing our TopMix Hortifibre solutions, you'll be aligning your nursery with the growing trend of sustainable and eco-friendly potting media by removing perlite and reducing the peat component.

Our products support healthier root growth and contribute to a greener future for our planet. As more and more consumers prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions, adopting eco-friendly practices in your nursery will help you attract environmentally conscious customers and set your business apart from competitors.

5.Evaluate the pH and EC ranges:
When selecting a propagation mix, it's essential to consider the pH and EC (electrical conductivity) ranges, as these factors can significantly impact plant growth.

Our TopMix and Ellepot Prefilled Mixes offer pH ranges of 5.4-6.0 and EC ranges of 0.5-2.0, providing an ideal environment for most plant species. Choosing a mix with appropriate pH and EC levels ensures that your plants receive the nutrients they need to thrive.
