Plagron Batmix - Premium Organic Pre-Fertilized Substrate with Bat Guano
🌱 Type: Organic
Nutrients come from natural sources (like guano, worm castings, or plant matter) and are broken down slowly by soil microbes before your plant can use them. This makes it very hard to overfeed or burn roots, and it builds long-term soil life over time. The tradeoff: it acts more slowly than mineral feeds, and nutrient levels can vary slightly batch to batch since it's a natural product rather than a lab-blended formula.
Rich, organic growth with a flavour boost. Plagron Batmix is Plagron's premium, organic pre-fertilized substrate enriched with bat guano — naturally rich in phosphorus and potassium — alongside carefully selected peat, perlite, and Plagron's signature worm castings, for abundant flowering and exceptional taste and aroma.
Why Growers Choose Plagron Batmix
Six Weeks of Organic Pre-Fertilization
Batmix comes richly charged with organic, time-released fertilizer (NPK 5.5-11-5.5) that feeds your plants for up to six weeks. Because it's so heavily fertilized, we recommend flushing with water before use if potting very young plants, or waiting 1-2 weeks before transplanting.
Bat Guano for Abundant Flowering
The star ingredient — bat guano — is naturally rich in phosphorus and potassium, giving plants a powerful boost through flowering and fruit development. It's also known for enhancing the smell and taste of the final product.
Built for Root Development & Drainage
A carefully selected blend of peat varieties and perlite creates an airy, oxygen-rich structure, giving roots room to develop and reducing the risk of over-watering thanks to excellent drainage.
Genuinely Organic
Batmix is suitable for organic cultivation, good for people, animals, and the environment. Rich worm humus supports vibrant soil life, helping your plants grow and flower naturally.
Trusted, Premium Quality
Batmix is one of Plagron's flagship substrates — rated 4.8/5 by growers for consistent, high-quality results.
