Heather Earth for Hydrangeas and Japanese Maples - Or Brun 20L

Special Potting Soil for Heather Plants Or Brun : the ideal substrate for acidophilic plants

The success of so-called "heather soil" plants is based on a fundamental biological parameter: the acidity of the soil. The special potting soil Heather Plants Or Brun, available in a 20-litre bag, has been specifically formulated to meet the requirements of acidophilic plants. This growing medium recreates the conditions of a fertile undergrowth, providing an environment conducive to the flourishing of the most delicate roots. Whether it is for installation on a terrace or for landscaping in the garden, this potting soil guarantees a stable structure and controlled acidity for the dazzling health of your beds.

Natural acidity for a bright bloom

pH is the heart of this product. With a value of 4.9, this potting soil provides the acidity essential to plants that do not tolerate limestone. This chemical characteristic allows acidophilic plants to properly assimilate nutrients, thus preventing yellowing of the leaves (chlorosis). This substrate is the expert solution for a wide variety of plants:

• Flowering shrubs : Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Camellias.

• Ornamental plants : Japanese maples, hydrangeas, magnolias.

• Small fruits : Blueberries.

  Thanks to its rich composition of forest heather soil, it offers a supple texture that promotes a dense and prolonged flowering.

Noble and environmentally friendly composition

The Or Brun formulation (reference OBRTSPDB20N) relies on high-quality components to ensure sustainable growth. It incorporates authentic forest heather soil, bark for aeration and blond peat from sustainably managed areas. This structure ensures excellent air circulation at the roots while maintaining optimal water holding capacity (592 mL/L). By choosing this potting soil, you are opting for a product that can be used in organic farming, respectful of the natural cycles and biodiversity of your garden.

Organic fertilization for vigorous development

To support growth from planting, this soil is enriched with an organo-mineral fertilizer NPK (4-6-10) of natural origin. Dosed at 0.5 kg per cubic metre, this nutrient supply is specifically balanced: rich in potash to strengthen the colour of the flowers and phosphorus to stimulate the root system. This gentle and progressive nutrition avoids any risk of burning for the hair roots, which are particularly fragile in azaleas and camellias. The substrate thus ensures a rapid recovery and constant vigour throughout the seasons.

Repotting and Container Planting Tips

The use of this 20-litre format is particularly suitable for repotting subjects in tubs or pottery. For the best results, follow the recommended method:

1. Preparation : Select a pot that is about three times the volume of the current root ball.

2. Installation : Place a layer of potting soil at the bottom of the container.

3. Installation : Place the root ball in the center, without breaking the soil block.

4. Finishing : Fill in the empty spaces with the special Heather Plants potting soil, tamp down lightly to eliminate air pockets and water thoroughly (if possible with rainwater, not calcareous).
