SOILS AND FERTILIZERS: THE NUTRITION OF PLANTS FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

The choice of soils and fertilizers is essential to obtain excellent results. The nutrition of plants and flowers, starting from planting them in pots or in the ground, starts mainly from the roots.

Plants, flowers, fruits, lawns, vegetable gardens, balconies and terraces have got similar needs based on the type of plant, exposure and characteristics of soil and water.

We can give plants the opportunity to express themselves at their best by ensuring the right amount of substances and the right composition of elements.

In some cases, by combining more soils, fertilizers and mulches, irrigation and fertilization can be optimized by reducing the amount of evaporated water due to hot temperatures.

We are available to evaluate together the most suitable soils and the best fertilization plan based on your needs.

The fertilizers available are divided according to:

  • Formulation: liquid, granular, microgranular, soluble powder, pellets and flakes
  • Typology: universal, specific, biological
  • Characteristics
  • Period of use
The fertilizers on sale are products of Cifo, Flortis and Vigorplant companies.

We are ready to help you choose the most suitable soil for your plants from our Vigorplant brand selection
