Melcourt | Horticultural Potting Grit | 20kg | (1, 20kg)

Melcourt | Horticultural Potting Grit | 20kg | (1, 20kg)

Q: Is this suitable for planting bulbs and seeds with along side compost?

I bought this specifically for planting crocus outside, as they tend to rot in our heavy soil, so using a handful of grit to both underneath and above the actual bulbs cures the problem. Snails and slugs don't like this too ! As far as seeds go, grit will make compost drain quicker and some compost, especially peat based, tend to waterlog and even get green mould on the surface of pots, so I always add grit when using any compost in plant pots, I vary the amount of grit though depending on what I am planting. I use this grit with seed compost when planting small seeds, like aquilegia for instance and I always get good germination. Another thing I use it for is my cacti, in fact I use 80% grit to 20% cacti compost, just to make sure they get good drainage. Hope this answers your question !

Q: is this ok to use to pot up citrus plants?

Citrus plant do not standing in water, this grit added to the soil adds to the drainage. If possible water with rain water, especially if the plants are kept indoors.

Q: Is this ok for ericaceous plants?

I only use this grit for my succulent plants and also cacti, as it gives good drainage, but I have only ever used ericaceous compost for my azaleas. I would suggest not to use it, but if you contact the company direct they may have a more reliable answer for you.

Q: Would this be ok mixed with regular compost to repot yucca houseplants??

For house plants I would probably use perlite with the compost.
