DCM VIVISOL® soil improver creates an active, rich and varied soil life and improves the biological conditions in the substrate. In such an environment, plant roots develop better and plants grow easier and bushier. In a trial carried out with Erica darleyensis, this resulted in stronger pot plants of higher quality and less losses.
