Soil and soil mixes Monkey Soil

Clay, soil, soil and soil mixes from the best brands Canna, Plagron, Biobizz, Atami. Clean and pre-fertilized substrates for sophisticated plant cultivation.

Soil is a natural substrate for the vast majority of plants on our planet. The plant takes dissolved nutrients from it with the help of its roots and incorporates them into its processes for its best benefit. The disadvantages of clay from nature can be a low occurrence of nutrients, contamination with heavy metals, the presence of pests or diseases, the absence of beneficial soil organisms, etc. Therefore, it is better to choose a quality branded soil.

Advantages of growing in soil

Growing in soil is generally easier than growing hydroponically. Fertilizer consumption is lower, the soil substrate retains water well and allows plants to retain moisture for longer. Therefore, when growing in clay, you can water once every few days, while in hydroponics we water several times a day. When cultivating plants in soil mixes, it is recommended to always let it dry out after watering so that oxygen can reach the roots.

The soil substrate can be irrigated manually or by means of automatic irrigation. Autopot systems are best adapted to the individual needs of the plants. Growing in clay can also be done organically and ecologically.

The disadvantage of soil, especially in outdoor conditions, is the possible occurrence of diseases and pests. This risk is definitely greater than with hydroponic plant cultivation.

Where to find the best quality soil and soil mixes?

Branded soil mixes from specialists from Canna, Plagron, Atami, Biobizz, however, significantly eliminate these risks. Long years of experience and research together with strict production and control processes guarantee absolute safety and top properties for the cultivation of many types of plants or crops. An important part of quality soil is high-quality peat.

Some substrates contain nutrients for the first few weeks. There is no need to fertilize until the plant is strong. For example, Plagron Allmix or Plagron Royalmix contain nutrients for the first six weeks. These types of soil are more suitable for beginner growers. Plagron Growmix, on the other hand, will supply nutrients to the plant until the beginning of the flowering period (about three weeks).

Most quality soil mixes contain perlite for greater aeration.

Manufacturers also offer substrates with minimal nutrient content, which allow experienced growers to control nutrition and the entire growing process as accurately as possible. The basic Plagron Promix soil substrate contains perlite and vermicompost, but is nutrient-free. Plagron Lightmix, BioBizz Light-mix soil mixes contain nutrients only for the first week, Atami Janeco Lightmix for 4-6 weeks.

Soil mixes can be used repeatedly, but only with the help of effective soil additives and enrichers.
