Ocean Forest Potting Soil: Cultivating Thriving Plants with Nature's Bounty

Ocean Forest Potting Soil is the ultimate potting mix that brings together the best of the Earth and sea to provide your plants with all the essential nutrients they need. Designed for containers and ready to use right out of the bag, this powerhouse blend is pH-adjusted to a range of 6.3 to 6.8, allowing for optimal fertilizer absorption and ensuring your plants' health and vitality.

The secret to Ocean Forest's success lies in its carefully curated composition. Earthworm castings, bat guano, fish and crab meal, composted forest humus, sandy loam, and sphagnum peat moss work in harmony to create a light, aerated texture that is perfect for both indoor and outdoor plants. This unique blend encourages strong branching and a sturdy, healthy growth habit, eliminating the need for nitrogen fertilizers at the initial stages.

For best results, it is recommended to feed your plants with FoxFarm's liquid fertilizer products, such as the OMRI-listed Big Bloom, during the growth and bloom seasons. This will further enhance their nutrient intake and promote vibrant, lush foliage and bountiful flowers.

Ocean Forest is the perfect choice for container gardening, as it is designed to be used straight from the bag, with no additional amendments required. Simply fill your containers, leaving an inch of space from the top, and water thoroughly after planting. For established container gardens, top-dress with a 3-inch layer of the potting soil and work it into the existing soil.

For trees, shrubs, and roses, select a container two to three times the diameter of the plant's root mass and three to six inches deeper. Place the root mass at the correct height, securely holding the plant in place as you add more potting soil around it, until the container is almost full. Press firmly around the perimeter, water thoroughly, and fill to the top.

To keep your plants thriving, follow the FoxFarm Soil Feeding Schedule, maintaining a pH of 5.6 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lockout and reduce stress. Flush your soil if you notice any signs of stress or color irregularities, and for coco-based media, flush every two weeks during the flowering cycles to prevent the buildup of unwanted salt residue.

With Ocean Forest Potting Soil, you can unlock the full potential of your plants, whether they're grown indoors or outdoors, in containers or in-ground. Unleash the power of nature's bounty and watch your garden come alive with vibrant, healthy growth.
