A fine, lightweight mix designed for seed germination and the first growth of delicate roots. It combines PlantScraper's nutrient-rich BioActive Soil with ultra-light fine-grade perlite, keeping moisture, aeration and microbial activity balanced during the plant's most sensitive stage.
The 55/45 ratio combines a nutrient-rich bioactive base with very lightweight fine-grade perlite, creating a fluffy structure that retains moisture without losing aeration.
A nutrient-rich base that supports moisture regulation and microbial activity around young roots.
Ultra-light fine-grade perlite that keeps the mix lightweight, aerated and less prone to compaction.
The even texture surrounds seeds and delicate roots without the large, heavy pieces found in a chunky substrate.
BioActive Soil retains the moisture needed, while fine perlite supports drainage and helps maintain an open structure.
The bioactive base provides a nutrient-rich environment and enhanced microbial activity during germination and early growth.
Suitable for different plant types during germination and for young plant material that needs fine, aerated root support.
Sowing depth, temperature, light and moisture should always be adapted to the specific seed or cutting.
Once roots are established, repot promptly into a pot and substrate suited to the next stage of growth.
Use the mix directly in seed trays, plugs or propagation domes. Avoid firm compaction so the fine-grade perlite can continue to create air channels.
Add the mix loosely to the cells or pots and level the surface gently without pressing it down firmly.
Sow the seed or place the cutting at the depth and orientation required by the particular species.
Moisten the mix evenly and allow excess water to drain through the drainage holes.
Maintain the appropriate moisture level for the species and gradually increase airflow as the new growth becomes established.
Watering frequency changes with temperature, airflow, container and growth stage. In a closed propagation dome, also monitor condensation and do not leave the mix sitting continuously in standing water.
Ready-to-use mix in a resealable, recyclable bag.
Seed tray, propagation box, nursery pot, seeds, cuttings, plants, labels and tools are not included.
Store the bag in a cool, dry place and reseal it after every use to limit contamination and preserve the structure of the mix.
Organise multiple seeds or cuttings in a 12-cell box, or choose an individual nursery pot with a humidity lid to monitor one new root separately.

Compact 12-cell box with a clear dome and adjustable vent for organised sowing or rooting.

It contains 55% BioActive Soil and 45% fine-grade perlite. The bioactive base supports moisture regulation and microbial activity, while the fine perlite keeps the mix lightweight and aerated.
No. It is designed for seed starting, but is also suitable for cuttings and young plants that need fine, fluffy root support.
No. Use it directly in seed trays, plugs or propagation domes. If the contents have settled during transport, loosen them gently before filling the containers without firm compaction.
Keep the mix appropriately moist for the species, not permanently saturated. Check the substrate itself, condensation inside any dome and the condition of the plant; frequency changes with temperature, airflow and the container.
Store it in a cool, dry place and reseal the bag securely after use to limit contamination and preserve the structure of the mix.
