PRO-MIX(25)

Help your garden thrive with Pro-Mix

Sometimes plants fail to thrive, even if you water them regularly and place them in sunlight or shade as directed. Before you decide gardening isn't the right hobby for you, promote optimum plant and flower growth with Pro-Mix potting mix. This all-purpose growing medium nourishes roots, helping your seeds sprout into lush, healthy greenery, vegetables or floral blossoms. Walmart Canada carries an assortment of Pro-Mix products, so you can produce resilient plants in your home or garden.

Protect plants with Pro-Mix

Despite your best intentions, many indoor and outdoor plants may struggle to flourish. When regular soil or a dedicated crop rotation schedule fail to provide the results you want, give Pro-Mix a try. This popular potting mix encourages plant growth by nourishing the root system with nutrient-preserving ingredients. If you need an economical option for roses, vegetables or trees, try a slow release formula that gets sprinkled over soil mixes or dirt. 

Nourish flowers with quality ingredients

While roses often do well with a slow-release formula, other flowers may do best with a water-soluble formula or a liquid concentrate. Encourage floral development by combining a fast-acting medium with water and gently pouring it over roots, or dilute an easy-to-measure liquid concentrate for even application over larger areas.

The active ingredients in Pro-Mix products include vermiculite, which promotes nutrient retention, and natural peat moss, an organic matter derived from peat bog. Perlite improves water holding capacity, making it easier for your flowers to get the nutrients they need.

Sprout seedlings in an all-purpose growing medium

When you need to sprout seedlings fast, reach for a transplant-friendly medium that speeds up the growth process with contaminant-free mycorrhizae. Biofungicide thwarts the growth and spread of plant pathogens, so your seedlings are strong enough to handle the transplanting process. Consider a water-soluble formula from Pro-Mix that works fast and does not burn the roots of your tiny sprouts.

Choose the right tools and accessories

Pro-Mix products help nourish your plants, flowers or veggie garden, but you also need the proper tools and accessories. Good potting practices begin with an appropriate pot equipped to handle your plant's growth. Plants expected to grow tall may have large, strong roots, which can crack or damage a small pot. Tiny sprouts may disappear in the mound of soil required for an urn or large planter. 

You may also need tools for your soil mix, such as a shovel and rake. Invest in a sturdy pair of shears if you plan to snip veggies or herbs straight from the vine, and consider a pair of latex gloves to keep your hands clean and dry as you work. Gardening boots help keep muddy soil from damaging your socks on rainy days.

Other options for potted plants

Many gardeners and plant owners work with potting soil and fertilizer, but you may also want to try mulch, rocks or sand for your collection. Consider the growth habits of your plants before you make the switch. You can also try planting seeds in a decomposable planter or transplant tray rather than placing them directly in the ground or attempting to remove them from compact containers.
