Royal Gold Potting & Propagation Mix - 1.5 cu ft - Peat-Free - 0.5-0.05-0.1

Fine Peat-Free Mix for Starts and Containers - 1.5 cu ft

Coarse media can leave small propagation cells uneven and slow young roots. This mix uses a finer texture with perlite to balance air and water around delicate roots. It is peat-free, with coco fiber as its first listed ingredient.

The 1.5 cu ft bag suits hobbyists and regular indoor growers who start seeds, root cuttings or fill containers in batches. Larger operations can use it as a propagation medium alongside bulk media.

Key Features & Benefits

• Peat-free formulation — built on coco fiber and aged forest products instead of peat.
• Fine texture — fits small propagation cells and supports delicate root development.
• Perlite for aeration — helps air movement and drainage in the root zone.
• Lightly amended — includes worm castings, kelp meal and other meals for a start, and works with most fertilizer programs.
• Flexible use — works indoors, in greenhouses and outdoors, straight from the bag or as a custom base.

Who Should Use Royal Gold Potting & Propagation Mix
