CANNA Terra Pro Plus – Fiddle Leaf Fig & Statement Plant Soil
💥 CANNA Terra Professional Plus – Artisan Oxygenated Substrate for Statement Plants
Ultra-purity Scandinavian white peat and tree-bark blend. A fiddle leaf fig in a bargain-bin compost is like a racehorse in a field of mud: it'll live, but it'll never do what it's capable of. Big statement plants have big root systems, and those roots need two things ordinary compost runs out of fast: air and a steady supply of food.
Elevate your collection with CANNA Terra Professional Plus, widely regarded as one of the cleanest, most refined potting mixes in modern horticulture. CANNA blend top-quality Scandinavian white peat with natural tree bark in place of perlite, creating an airy, springy foundation for exceptional root architecture and explosive foliage growth. No floating perlite, no green algae flecks, just a clean, rich, forest-floor finish that looks as good in a luxury ceramic pot as it performs underneath.
🪵 The Cork-Bark Advantage: Nature's Oxygen Engine
Mass-market composts pack down into dense, suffocating mud. Terra Pro Plus doesn't, because of the bark:
- Perlite-free aeration: lightweight, naturally spongy, cork-like bark creates lasting air gaps throughout the pot, and unlike perlite it never floats to the surface.
- Natural antiseptic root shield: the tree bark CANNA uses has a natural antiseptic action, helping protect the root zone against the stagnant, waterlogged conditions that lead to root rot.
- Zero compaction: the structure stays loose and springy, pulling fresh air down to the root tips with every watering.
🌟 Key Features
- Pure Scandinavian white peat base: top-tier virgin white peat for an excellent balance of water and air, free of weeds and pests
- Extended 2–4 week starter charge (EC around 1.3): pre-fed with minerals, trace elements and chelates, fuelling established plants for up to a month before liquid feeding is needed
- Precision lime buffering (around pH 6.0): holds a rock-solid pH for steady nutrient uptake
- Forest-floor finish: rich, dark and clean, with no white perlite turning green over time
- Made to the RHP quality standard
🌿 Perfect for High-Value Collections and Heavy Feeders
- 🪴 Stately indoor trees: fiddle leaf figs (Ficus lyrata), rubber plants (Ficus elastica) and weeping figs that demand deep oxygen and real structure
- 🌴 Giant tropical statement plants: Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia), mature Alocasia and Colocasia, Kentia and Areca palms
- 🌶️ High-yield patio crops: super-hot chillies, sweet peppers, heirloom tomatoes and potted herbs
- ⚡ Precision growers: a clean, highly oxygenated base to pair with CANNA Terra Vega and Terra Flores
🌿 Terra Professional or Pro Plus?
Pro Plus (this one) is built for large, architectural plants that want the richer, longer-lasting feed and bark structure. For smaller, fine-rooted tropicals such as Calathea, jewel Alocasias, Begonias and ferns, our standard CANNA Terra Professional is the gentler, better-suited choice.
How to Use
Loosen the mix, fill the pot and firm it lightly. Water until a little drains out, then plant. Begin feeding with CANNA Terra Vega after 2–4 weeks, switching to Terra Flores for flowering and fruiting plants.
⚠️ Grower Note: the rich starter charge is designed for established transplants. Start unrooted cuttings and fresh seeds in a low-feed seed compost, then pot them on into Pro Plus.
🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: when repotting a big plant, go up just one pot size, around 5cm wider. A huge pot of fresh compost stays wet for too long around a root ball that can't use it yet.
📦 Boutique Sizes to Bulk Trade Sacks
- Hand-decanted boutique packs (Sample, 1L, 5L, 10L, 20L): ideal for flat living, windowsill repots and shelf collections. Each is carefully decanted from fresh, genuine CANNA 50L sacks into secure, heat-sealed, labelled packaging.
- Commercial sack (50L): the original sealed CANNA bag, the best value for large setups and full collection refreshes.
