Seed & Cutting Compost with 20% Perlite – Peat-Free (Expands to 15 Litres)

Give your seeds and cuttings the professional start they deserve. Trialled and approved by Kings’ Horticultural Director, Andrew Tokely, our New & Exclusive Seed and Cutting Compost is a high-performance, peat-free alternative designed for superior germination and healthy root development.

Traditional composts can often be too heavy or nutrient-dense for delicate new growth. Our specialized formula features a fine-textured coco coir base enriched with 20% added Perlite. This combination ensures the perfect balance of moisture retention and aeration, preventing "damping off" and encouraging vigorous root systems.

Whether you are a competitive exhibitor or a home gardener, this compact, eco-friendly block provides a sustainable, space-saving solution for your potting shed.

• Fast Germination: The fine texture allows delicate shoots to emerge easily and roots to establish quickly.

How to Use

1. Place the compact block into a large bucket or wheelbarrow.

2. Add 5 litres of lukewarm water.

3. Wait a few minutes for the block to swell and absorb the moisture.

    

4. Break up any remaining lumps to create a fine, fluffy texture.

5. Sow your seeds or insert cuttings immediately—no need to re-wet!

    

Expert Growing Tips

• Feeding: This compost contains a gentle amount of feed to support early growth. We recommend starting a liquid feed program approximately 3–4 weeks after germination, once the first "true leaves" appear.

• Watering: Coir-based compost can often look dry on the surface while remaining moist underneath. Use the "finger test" to check moisture levels before watering.
