TerraCottem Universal

TerraCottem Universal Soil Conditioner

TerraCottem Universal is the “original” TerraCottem soil conditioner. Since it was launched in 1993, the product has constantly evolved with better-performing polymers, fertiliser and carrier material to further enhance root and plant growth and reduce inputs. This is still the TerraCottem to use in most applications such as trees, shrubs, revegetation, annuals, perennials, roof gardens, horticulture and potting soils.

The product is a physical soil conditioner designed to increase the water and nutrient holding capacity of soils and growing media, increase plants’ root development, growth and survival rate and reduce the need for watering by up to 50%. The product is a dry, free-flowing powdery-to-granular mixture of cross-linked hydro absorbent polymers, growth precursors and volcanic rock enriched with soluble, slow-release and synthetic nitrogen fertilisers. The product has an absorption capacity of a minimum of 4500 g H2O/100 g in distilled water using Method of Analysis CEN EN 13041 and more than 95% of the water contained in the polymers is plant available.

The soil conditioning technology has to be mixed homogeneously into the root zone or growing medium.
