  • Our Plantura Organic Ericaceous Compost is designed specifically for acid-loving plants, including hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, blueberry bushes and more. It has a lower soil pH, which these acid-loving plants prefer.

    Peat is ideal for many acid-loving plants since it has a lower pH value and improves the soil’s water retention capacity, which helps to supply water to the plants, especially during the hot summer months. However, peat is also a very valuable raw material, which is why we have consciously chosen to make a peat-reduced ericaceous compost that is as sustainable as possible while also ensuring your acid-loving plants flourish and produce lush blooms.

    Ericaceous compost is exclusively recommended for acid-loving plants, such as hydrangeas, rhododendrons, azaleas, blueberries and cranberries. For growing classic ornamentals such as geraniums and petunias, we recommend using our Plantura Organic Flower Compost.

    What is Plantura Ericaceous Compost made of?
    Our ericaceous soil is peat-reduced and consists of 100% natural raw materials. As a result, it saves up to 50% CO2 during production when compared to conventional ericaceous composts. Our ECOCERT-certified animal-free and organic compost contains peat, xylit, coconut and wood fibres, high-quality compost, lime, magnesium fertiliser and another mostly organic fertiliser. This acidic compost also contains valuable minerals for a healthy soil life.
    What is the packaging made of?
    Our compost comes in Blue Angel (German eco-label) certified packaging that is made of 80% environmentally-friendly recycled plastic known as recyclate. At Plantura, we believe that plastic is an extremely valuable raw material that should be recycled whenever possible. We therefore ask that you put the empty bags in your recycling bin or take them to your local plastic recycling centre or collection facility.
    When do I need to apply fertiliser?
    Plantura Ericaceous Compost comes pre-fertilised. Apply some fertiliser after about 2 months to ensure your plants continue to receive all the nutrients they need to grow well and produce lush blooms and aromatic fruits. We recommend using either our animal-free Plantura All Purpose Plant Food or our Plantura Hydrangea Food, which is specially formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of hydrangeas.

    Frequently asked questions

    Our ericaceous potting soil contains 15% black peat and 15% xylit/white peat. The peat content ensures that the soil’s low pH level remains stable.

    Yes! Our organic ericaceous compost is also ideal for blue hydrangeas. It should be noted, however, that the blue colour is caused by mineral fertilisers containing aluminium sulphate rather than the soil. However, because aluminium sulphate is a chemical that is not permitted in organic farming, none of our products contain it.

    Plantura Ericaceous Compost has been specifically developed for acid-loving plants and hence has a low pH of 4.6 to 5.4.

    Yes, our acidic compost is made of natural ingredients and is pet-friendly.

    For the sake of the environment, our ericaceous soil is peat-reduced. As a result, you will need to water your plants a little more frequently, but with less water. Overall, you end up using the same amount of water as you would have had if you had used a non-peat-reduced compost. Water whenever the top layer of soil feels dry.

    As our organic ericaceous compost is peat-reduced, it saves up to 50% CO2 during production when compared to conventional composts.
