Healthy potted plants begin with the right potting mix. To help you make the right choice, the Australian Standards logo for potting mixes was developed by a peak non-government body in Australia. This logo is only applied to potting mixes that have been independently tested and certified as containing an appropriate mix of nutrients, in a suitable base material, to meet the needs of potted plants. Look for the black Standardsmark logo which denotes a "regular grade" potting mix and the red mark which denotes a "premium grade" potting mix. Both grades are your assurance of consistent quality with the "premium grade" having superior nutrient levels, water holding capacity and wettability.
