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.Instructions for use: to be used as a growing medium, also to be used as structural material and a carrier substance; designed to improve the absorption and retention capacity of water and nutrients. There are some more nuances when using “Seramis”. Experienced growers give several additional recommendations for the use of soil. 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:- These granules made from 100% natural clay that improves their water storage capacity and is ideal for raised beds, balcony & potted plants. Decide for yourself whether you want to mix the granules into the soil, use them as a final layer, or use them pure.

Seramis clay granulate can be used as an alternative to soil and coco when hand-watering. It can also be used as an alternative to regular clay pebbles or coco in a hydroponic system.

The organic plant granules can also completely replace your potting soil. They store water well to reduce your watering needs, especially on hot days. You should not consider “Seramis” a nutritional composition. When using it, the plants also need to be fed regularly. For flowers grown in “General Purpose Seramis”, any complexes are suitable. If “Seramis for Orchids” is used, then it is required to fertilize the flowers only with dressings from the Seramis line. When transferring a culture to a new fertilizer, it is necessary to wait until it is completely starved, and only then start using the new composition.

Prepare nail scissors or garden pruners sterilized in alcohol, Seramis substrate, disinfectants for sections (alcohol-free preparations or activated charcoal are suitable), a plastic container larger than the previous pot, and a moisture indicator.

The Watering Indicator turns from blue to red when there is 20 – 25 % moisture remaining in the pot. 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.The Watering Indicator does not, however, indicate the amount of water required, it only indicates the correct time to water. SERAMIS® Plant Granulate is made of high quality, refined clay which replaces the usual soil substrate when re-potting your houseplants. The granules absorb a vast amount of water, holding and dispensing it when the plant needs it. The porous granules hold the water in their pores, just like a sponge. Among the shortcomings, the high cost of raw materials is noted, however, all growers agree that the price is fully justified, especially given the possibility of reusing the mixture. The granules contain phosphate, potassium and amino acids, as well as nitrogen, encouraging healthy plants, naturally.
