FAQs
Can I use this for plants other than bulbs?
This formula is specifically optimized for bulb needs; while it will not harm other plants, they may thrive better in a standard multi-purpose compost.
Does this contain peat?
No, this product is 100% peat-free, utilizing high-quality fibre alternatives.
Do I need to add extra fertilizer?
No, the compost is already enriched with slow-release nutrients designed to feed bulbs through their growth cycle.
Is it safe for indoor bulbs?
Yes, it is perfectly safe and effective for indoor planting, such as forcing hyacinths in winter containers.
How should I store the 10L bag?
Keep it in a cool, dark, and dry area, and ensure the bag is tied shut to prevent the compost from drying out completely.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs are showing signs of rot.
Ensure the container has drainage holes and avoid overwatering. The compost should be moist, not wet.
Plants are wilting despite moist compost.
Check that the roots have not been damaged during planting and ensure the bulbs are not planted too deep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, ensure your containers have adequate drainage holes to prevent excess water from sitting at the base of the bulbs. When planting, do not pack the compost too tightly; the fibre structure works best when loose enough to allow for gas exchange. For long-term care, keep the compost consistently moist but not saturated. Because the compost includes slow-release feed, you generally do not need to add supplemental fertilizer during the first few months of growth. Store the remaining product in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed tightly to maintain the moisture balance of the fibre blend.
