Better plants when growing Japanese maples in containers with DCM organic fertilisers
MINIGRAN® Technology is an innovative and unique granulation process for producing organic fertilisers in the form of mini-granules. Trials have shown that these unique mini-granules offer major advantages when used in potting soils and container cultivation. They improve rooting and thus lead to stronger plants.
The application of DCM ECOR® 5 MINIGRAN® Technology while growing Japanese maple in pots resulted in significantly better root development and denser plants. The plants were also more uniform. The goal, to cultivate Japanese maple 100% organically with a basic fertiliser mixed into the potting soil, was thus achieved.
