Seramis Clay Granules 1 x 15 L

Product Information

Seramis produce a nutrient suitable for use with houseplants, for all other plants we recommend General Hydroponics Floraseries range. General guidelines for growing in hydroponics are:- The porous granules distribute moisture evenly to the roots and provide optimal oxygenation. The roots grow into the porous surface of the granules, extracting water and nutrients as needed, whilst being optimally supplied with oxygen. If the roots are not cleared from the old soil, then it’s okay. Do not get hung up on this process, “Seramis” goes well with other soils. The blue paper and the substrate are connected through an opening in the lower part of the Watering Indicator. If the substrate is moist, the paper will absorb water and the indicator display will be blue. When the substrate becomes dry as the water is absorbed into the plant, the Watering Indicator no longer receives any water and the colour will change to "red".

Although eggs, larvae and mold do not survive in this formulation, this problem cannot always be avoided using rainwater. Rainwater contains micro-dust, which gradually accumulates between the soil granules, and pathogens feel quite comfortable in these intervals. Therefore, do not use rainwater when watering orchids.

Keep your soil from drying out by covering it with a 3 cm high layer of the granules. The light colour of the granules reduces heat retention, and the granules help prevent an infestation of fungus gnats and prevent weeds. Also, the disadvantages include the low availability of the material: “Seramis” can not always be seen on the shelf of a flower shop. How to use Seramis for orchids?

Mix the granules with normal potting soil to loosen it and aerate the root balls of your plants and increase their access to nutrients. We recommend a mixing ratio of at least 10% organic plant granules to soil. The higher the percentage of granules, the better the water storage. According to the representatives of the Seramis company themselves, the complex is suitable for all types of orchids, although according to the personal experience of some flower growers, this is not entirely true. In their opinion, it is preferable to use a mixture for phalaenopsis. Many florists have managed to grow Cattleya, Wanda, Dendrobium, Miltonia orchids using this product. Gently lower the dried roots with a flower into a new pot, filling the entire container with the Seramis mixture. Do not cover aerial roots.
