of potting mix containing sphagnum peat moss, perlite,
vermiculite, sand or sandy loam soil and/or pumice (Mix

a. Apply AGGRAND 4-3-3 every
two weeks in summer and every four weeks in winter
(For cacti, apply a very weak solution several times
a year).
b. Apply AGGRAND 0-12-0 several
times at monthly intervals in spring and fall.

at certain times of year or even continuously when
AGGRAND 0-12-0 is applied regularly (Every month
in summer and every two months in winter).
d. Apply AGGRAND 0-0-8 sparingly
along with the 4-3-3 every month in summer and every
two months in winter.

f. There is no need to apply
Liquid Lime when you are using AGGRAND 0-12-0 in

g. In spring and fall place
potted plants in sink and leach with plenty of fresh
water (At least one gallon of water for each gallon
of soil).

compost or earthworm castings once in spring and
once in fall after leaching (Use one cup for each
gallon of soil).
i. When potting or repotting
your plants, blend in one cup of compost or earthworm
castings per gallon of soil; wet soil while in mixing
tub with a solution of AGGRAND Liquid Lime and AGGRAND
0-12-0 until soil is well wetted; after potting
