Sta-Green® Products Encourage Beautiful Blooms
ATLANTA - A house just isn't a home without plant life, which can include hanging flower baskets, green houseplants and container gardens. In order to have the best blooms on the block, the Sta-Green® line of growing media offers solutions that provide the most ideal conditions for gardening.
When plants are grown in containers or pots, a media free of soil is preferred to provide an adequate balance of water, nutrients and oxygen. Various container and potting mixes include growing media that is formulated to meet the needs of specific plant types.
In addition to potting soils, the Sta-Green line of growing media includes a variety of products to improve soil characteristics, providing an ideal foundation for lawn, garden and landscape plantings. These planting mixes encourage beautiful blooms and lush foliage while keeping soil moist. The planting mix products are amendments used to improve soil for in-ground gardening.
With spring right around the corner, the makers of Sta-Green products have mapped out a chart to easily determine the correct amount of soil to purchase for each container size and type.
