Ingredients

The Espoma Organic Seed Starting Mix is a high-quality product made up of organic ingredients:

• Sphagnum Peat Moss: This ingredient provides the light, fluffy texture that promotes good root development.
• Perlite: A lightweight material that enhances drainage and keeps the soil from becoming too dense, which inhibits access to air by the roots.
• Limestone: This is in the mix to adjust the PH of the mix so it is friendly to the plants.
• Yucca Extract: It has been discovered to improve the water holding potential of soils, with beneficial results on enhancing plant hydration.

How to Use

The Espoma 8qt Organic Seed Starting Mix is easy to use and works well for starting seeds, rooting cuttings, and transplanting young plants.

Starting Seeds

Fill a shallow container with the seed starting mix to start seeds. Plant the seeds at the depth suggested by the seed packet and keep the soil moist, but not wet, by following the instructions on the back of the seed packet. The container should be put in a warm place with lights and they will start to sprout.

Rooting Cuttings

Use it for starting seeds, cuttings or for rooting cuttings; dip the cut end of the cutting in rooting hormone (if desired) and stick it in the Espoma Seed Starting Mix. Keep the soil around the cutting in contact and let it not lack moisture. The cutting will eventually grow roots and turn into a thriving plant.

Transplanting Young Plants

Once the plants are no longer seedlings and start to take root and grow, they can be transferred to bigger pots or transplanted directly into the ground. The Espoma Seed Starting Mix is the perfect foundation for the young plants to grow, giving them a strong base to grow for an extended life.

Summary

Espoma Organic Seed Starting Mix gives the plants the best start. Great for sowing seeds, rooting cuttings or transplanting seedlings into containers. Featuring natural and organic ingredients including Myco-tone® for enhanced root development, this seed starting mix is an ideal blend to enhance stronger plant growth.
