Growing Media for Healthy Root Development

Growing media—also called potting soil or potting mix—is the base that supports plants in pots, planters, and containers. A good mix helps roots get the right balance of nutrients, air, and water.

Whether you're gardening on a balcony, terrace, or indoors, the right medium improves drainage, holds moisture, and lets roots grow freely.

Choose from essential potting materials such as:

• Coco Peat for moisture retention
• Perlite for aeration and drainage
• Vermiculite for water‑holding capacity
• Clay Aggregate (LECA) for lightweight root support
• ECA 2–8 mm for middle‑layer drainage
• ECA 8–15 mm for bottom‑layer drainage
• Castor Cake for organic nitrogen
• Neem Cake for natural pest resistance
