Description
Blend #8 is a specific soil combination with additional perlite. It's made from the original Nectar for the Gods recipe but with 50% perlite added to improve drainage. This makes it great for growers who feed their plants frequently. The soil is mixed in small batches, which can help keep the quality high and consistent.
How It’s Made
Every bag of Blend #8 is meticulously prepared for the highest quality possible.
- The soil is added in increments to ensure a good mix.
- Coconut coir is washed on the premises with rainwater. It is also treated with limestone to bind up salts, which is friendlier to plant roots.
- After bagging, the mix is allowed to stand for 5-30 days. This aging also helps “cool down” the soil and allows beneficial microbes to get a foothold. The mix becomes more neutral and safe for roots.
Applications
Mix #8 is good for many growing applications inside or out.
- Containers and Pots: This soil is ideal for fruits, herbs, and vegetable plants in pots or containers. It provides them with the perfect combination of water, air and nutrients.
- Seedlings and Clones: Young plants do well in Blend #8. It is light, soft, and easy for roots to grow through.
- Houseplants: If people grow indoor plants and routinely give them food, they find this medium user-friendly.
- Greenhouses and Nurseries: Because it’s mixed in small batches, growers know they’re getting every bag exactly the same. This makes it ideal for nurseries that require uniformity.
Packaging and Storage
Nectar for the Gods Blend #8 is available in 1.5 sqft bags. Every bag is resealable to preserve the soil from drying out or contamination. To keep it fresh:
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Use within one year.
- After opening, seal the bag or move the soil to an airtight container.
Eco-Friendly and High-Quality
This soil is created for the love of the environment and the plants.
- Sustainable Materials: Coconut coir is sourced from a renewable resource and rainwater rinsing conserves freshwater.
- Low Salt Content: Due to buffering and rinsing, the mix is very clean and has a low salt content, making it safe for plant roots.
- Local Aging: By allowing the mix to “age” before selling, the soil is already safer and more balanced when it reaches the grower.
Final Thoughts
Nectar for the Gods Blend #8 is a high-quality potting soil designed for those who feed their plants every day. Its high perlite content contributes to excellent drainage, and its natural ingredients feed the plants slowly and safely. In indoor gardens or outdoor containers, Blend #8 is the go-to blend for plant health and fast growth.
