Recommendation


Substrate and fertilizer for a large part of B & B plants. 

Bedding and balcony plant substrate: 

  • 95% peat (10% black peat) 
  • 5% clay content 
  • 300 gr PG Mix 
  • 1 kg Osmocote 5-6 months 
  • ph value of water measured 1: 5: 5.6 
  • ph value kcal measured: 5.2

Substrate for primula (+ extra FE!) and pelargonium (no extra Fe!) 

  • 90% peat (10% black peat) 
  • 10% clay content 
  • 300 gr PG Mix 
  • 1.5 kg Osmocote 8-9 months 
  • ph value water measured 1: 5: 5.8-6.3 
  • ph value Kcal measured: 5.5

Setting Dosatron to 1.0% with 1kg fertilizer to 10 liters of water gives about 1.5 EC = 1 gr fertilizer per liter irrigation water. 

Regular and adapted rehydration is crucial for cultural success. 

Fertilize from the moment the plants are well rooted. For Mittelzehrer z.B .: with 1 gr fertilizer / L by casting. Standard recommendation on all B & B plants alternately fertilize „balanced“ and „stressed potash“. 

Regularly take soil samples and check the EC value (salinity)! Measurement - 1: 5 / Substrate to distilled water - Weak drawers - Medium-Eager - Heavy duty to 250 EC - to 350 EC - to 500 EC pH Check at least 1x during culture!
