Features
This composition ensures consistent drainage even after repeated irrigation cycles. This is essential for camellia, which is sensitive to waterlogging. The slightly acid pH (5.2–5.8) matches the range that camellia requires. The species is particularly sensitive to incorrect pH and to hard irrigation water.
Micromax provides a complete set of microelements. This prevents the deficiencies typical in this species during long growing cycles. The PG Mix starter fertiliser supports the re-establishment phase. The wetting agent helps the first re-hydration of the root zone after repotting.
Camelia is suitable for containers from Ø 14 cm and above. You can use it for cold greenhouse production and for the annual repotting of mature plants. The peat is selected from Baltic origins, consistently from the same fields, to ensure lot-to-lot quality.
