Soilless potting mix, also known as soilless growing media or soilless substrate, is a type of growing medium that does not contain any natural soil. It is typically made up of a mixture of materials such as peat moss, coconut coir, perlite, vermiculite, and/or pine bark.
Soilless potting mix offer several advantages over traditional soil-based growing mediums. First, they are typically lighter in weight, making them easier to transport and handle. Second, they are less likely to contain pests or diseases that can harm plants. Third, they offer greater control over the nutrient and moisture levels in the growing medium, which can lead to better plant growth and health.
Contains micro and macro nutrients
soil less potting mix contains micro and macro-nutrients which are essential for the growth of plants. Nutrient-rich soil helps the plant give a good yield.
Has good water holding capacity
soil less potting mix has good water holding capacity. So the plants get much time to absorb the nutrients present in the water.
