Bushier and more resilient potted lavenders with DCM VIVISOL®

DCM VIVISOL® MINIGRAN® soil improver creates an active, rich and varied soil life and improves the biological conditions of the potting soil or substrate. In such an environment, plant roots develop better and plants grow more easily. This results in stronger, healthier potted plants of higher quality. Plants are bushier and bloom more abundantly.

Trial: DCM VIVISOL® MINIGRAN® in container-grown lavender

In a trial carried out with potted lavender, the soil improver DCM VIVISOL® MINIGRAN® was added to the potting soil. Adding this soil improver stimulated soil life in the pots. The plants showed better rooting, which stimulated nutrient and water uptake and increased plant resilience.
