Fafard's Seedling and Seedling Potting Soil is specially formulated to support the early stages of the vegetative cycle, where the precision of the growing medium is crucial. Its balance of sphagnum peat moss, coconut fiber, and natural amendments creates a stable environment that promotes consistent germination, even root development, and the rapid emergence of the first leaves.

Its fine, airy structure ensures optimal contact between the seed and the substrate, while maintaining a constant moisture level without saturation. This controlled water management limits the risk of water stress and supports root development in seedlings and cuttings, whose tissues remain sensitive to environmental variations.

Recommended use
  • Sowing vegetables in pots, multi-cell trays or terrines
  • Propagation of indoor and ornamental plants
  • Tray microgreen production
  • Transplanting young plants into pots before final repotting

Moisten evenly before use and avoid excessive compaction in order to preserve the porosity necessary for the development of rootlets.
