UAB Promesse de Fleurs fertiliser for geraniums and flowering plants, 500g box

The 'Promesse de Fleurs' organic fertiliser for geraniums and flowering plants maintains soil fertility and provides all the essential elements for the floribundus of these plants. The presence of a root growth stimulant promotes establishment and rooting, while the richness in organic matter of this fertiliser allows for a gradual and sustained release of nutrients: window boxes and balcony planters are abundantly flowered and adorned with vibrant colours. This fertiliser is environmentally friendly and is suitable for use in organic farming.

Geraniums and other balcony plants grown in pots benefit from regular fertiliser application, especially as they are cultivated in a small volume of substrate whose nutrient reserves are quickly depleted by the plant. They require a fertiliser low in nitrogen but rich in potash and magnesia, two nutrients that promote flower production and enhance their colours. This 'Promesse de Fleurs' organic fertiliser NF U 42-001, in the form of spreadable granules, is derived from the decomposition of living matter. Its formulation is NPK 3-2-5 with MgO, meaning it contains:

- 3% total nitrogen (N), of which 2.5% is in the form of organic nitrogen from composted plant and animal matter (oilseed cakes, fruit pulps, composted poultry manure, feather meal, hydrolysed bone and meat meal), for slow and gradual release, and 0.5% mineral nitrogen, directly assimilable by plants. This element contributes to the development of the non-reproductive aerial parts of the plant, particularly the leaves and stems.

- 2% total phosphorus (P), which strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.

- 5% potassium (K). This element plays an essential role in root formation, flowering, and fruit development. It is vital for life and directly participates in the formation and growth of cells. Activating over 80 enzymatic systems, it promotes sap circulation and enables the transfer of sugars and proteins to the roots and organs such as seeds, fruits, and tubercles. A well-rooted plant will better withstand drought and environmental stresses.

- 1% total magnesium oxide (MgO) or magnesia: this element promotes the assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. It helps to intensify flower colour and the flavour of fruits and vegetables.

The role of the root growth stimulant is fundamental: it promotes the root dynamism of plants during establishment and creates a favourable environment capable of inducing the formation of numerous, highly ramified roots. The development of plants is thus boosted, both in terms of vegetation and flowering or fruiting. A plant with a developed root system will better withstand water shortage and absorb nutrients present in the soil much more effectively.

Use: for all flowering plants cultivated in pots or containers on the terrace or balcony, from March to October. Before planting: spread and then mix into the soil during cultivation. During cultivation: spread and then incorporate into the soil with light raking and water.

• For plantings: spread 120g/m² before preparation and then 60g/m² during the growing season: total 180g/m² per year.
• For plants already in place: apply 3 times a year at 60g/m².
• Plants in pots: apply 3 times a year at 10g per 10 litres of potting compost.
