Ingredients
Knowing what’s in Sunshine #4 is key to understanding why this mix is used for growing plants. The perfect mix of these materials provides the plants with everything they need to grow up healthy.
- Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss: A key ingredient that adds moisture retention and promotes air space and soil structure.
- Horticultural Perlite: This will allow better drainage and aeration, preventing the mix from becoming too compact. It means there’s ample oxygen for the roots to grow strong and healthy.
- Dolomite Lime: Dolomite lime adjusts the pH of the mix and provides the correct acidity level of the growing medium for most plants.
- Mycorrhizal Fungi: The included beneficial fungi in this blend form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots to enhance nutrient and water uptake for overall plant health.
- RESiLIENCE®: This innovative technology promotes a plant’s resistance to stress (e.g., drought, extreme temperatures).
- Wetting Agent: The wetting agent aids in the soil's mixing ability with water, keeping moisture more regular for plants.
How to Use
Sunshine #4 is the professional’s choice for premium, professional quality potting soil, purposefully created for the gardener who seeks simply the best in a blend.
- Fill the pots or containers with Sunshine #4, make sure that you have a small hole at the top for water. Make sure the container has proper drainage so the excess water can drain out; this prevents root rot.
- Water well after planting to moisten the soil completely. Keep the mix moist but not wet, which will promote root growth without overwatering the plant.
- Waiting a couple of weeks after planting to begin fertilizing the plants will ensure they receive the nutrients to grow. Use a balanced fertilizer to continue to encourage the plant's growth.
