ICL Levington Ericaceous Container Nursery Stock CNSE Compost 75lt

ICL Levington Ericaceous Container Compost CNSE 75L is a CNSE-grade ericaceous mix designed specifically for acid-loving plants grown in containers. With a deliberately low lime content, it creates the optimal rooting environment for your acid-loving favorites while keeping magnesium, sulfur, and trace minerals balanced for vibrant growth.

Ideal for plants that thrive in acidic soils, this 75 litre bag is tailor-made for:

• Heather, Rhododendron, Camellia, and Pieris in pots, patio planters, or container gardens
• Container nursery stock that benefits from a predictable, consistent pH range

Key benefits and why it matters

• Acidic pH for robust acid-loving plants: Maintains a pH range of 4.4–5.0 to support optimal nutrient uptake, brighter foliage, and more abundant flowering.
• Low lime formulation: Specifically engineered to prevent lime from creeping into the root zone, preserving acidic conditions essential for heathers, rhododendrons, camellias, and pieris.
• Optimized particle mix for healthy roots: Blended so 40% of the particles are 0–10 mm and 60% are 6–12 mm, delivering good drainage and air circulation while preventing soil compaction.
• Nutrient-enriched starter feed: Contains added nutrients—180N, 92P, 299K—to support establishment in new pots and ongoing growth in container settings.
• Starter fertilizer compatibility: Based on a CNS general starter formula to give your ericaceous stock a reliable early boost without overwhelming sensitive roots.
• Traceable packaging: Generic packaging carries the product identification code AERI75LE for consistent sourcing and verification.

Practical use tips

• When potting up, fill containers to about two-thirds with this compost, plant, and then top up to the rim to ensure stable moisture retention without oversaturation.
• Water consistently to keep the roots evenly moist, as acid-loving plants prefer steady moisture rather than drought stress.
• Avoid adding lime or lime-containing amendments after potting, as the low-lime formula is part of what maintains the correct acidity.
• For ongoing health, re-pot every couple of years or refresh topsoil with additional Ericaceous Container Compost to maintain pH balance and nutrient availability.

Whether you’re establishing new container specimens or rejuvenating existing ericaceous pots, Levington Ericaceous Container Compost CNSE 75L delivers a precise acidity level, reliable drainage, and a nutrient boost designed to help acid-loving plants flourish. This is the practical, purpose-built choice for gardeners who want predictable results from their heathers, rhododendrons, camellias, and pieris in containers.
