What is Light Mix® Peat Free?

Light Mix® Peat Free has been designed to offer gardeners, growers and horticultural professionals an ecological and more sustainable alternative to traditional peat-based substrates, allowing better control over plant growth.

When it comes into contact with water, the vital microactivity in the substrate is activated, generating organic catalysts that accelerate root development.

Peat-free composition

The components of Light Mix® Peat Free have been meticulously selected to replicate the advantages of peat, such as its lightness, aeration capacity and water retention.

This substrate is made entirely from renewable and sustainable materials, combining ingredients such as coconut fibre, wood fibre, composted bark, miscanthus, perlite and other organic elements.

How to use it

With Light Mix® Peat Free Free, you can apply higher doses of nutrients to any type of plant, even those that require additional feeding, without the risk of saturating the substrate and causing over-fertilization. The latter usually manifests itself through yellowing of the leaves and dry or burnt tips.

If you use an automatic irrigation system, it is essential to ensure that the water infiltrates properly into the substrate, as excess moisture could encourage the appearance of mold.
