Potting Mix Additives Market

Potting Mix Additives Market: Outlook

Potting is something that gardeners and plant growers need to do periodically for plant nutrition. Soil is an essential part of potting and thus, for healthy root development in plants, it is important to add good soil. Different mixes and additives are added to soil to enrich soil quality. Some potting mix additives often contain amendments including fertilizers and unique moisture-retaining crystals with high nutrients, through which plants feed. Over time, these nutrients can be drained by plants from the soil.

By adding a few mix additives, the used soil can be reused for potting. For example, adding perlite to the soil helps lighten the ground and delivers drainage. It can also help in increasing nitrogen levels in the soil by adding fertilizer with compost. Potting mix additives are developed to stay soft and not to compress too much in the containers. Particular potting mix additive mixtures are available for orchids, succulents, roses, and others. Perlite and vermiculite are common ingredients in potting mix additives, which are added to create an airier and less dense environment.
