Key Benefits of using Canna Terra Professional
- Superior Root Development: Exclusive, high-value organic ingredients like airy peat moss promote exceptional root development and the formation of thicker, stronger stems, leading to more resilient plants.

- Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: The balanced pH and complex structure facilitate efficient nutrient absorption, maximising your plants' access to vital elements.
- Disease Resistance: This natural and homogenous product is free of harmful viruses and soil diseases, contributing to overall plant health.
- Increased Production: Faster metabolism combined with low sickness rates ensure an increased production, leading to potentially higher yields.
- Eco-Friendly: The plastic packaging material of Canna Terra Professional is 100% recyclable.
How to Use Canna Terra Professional
- Preparation: Loosen the Canna Terra Professional in the bag.
- Potting: Fill your chosen pots or containers with the loosened medium, gently compressing it slightly.
- Initial Watering: Add water until a small amount begins to drain from the bottom of the pot. This ensures the medium is adequately moist for planting.
- Planting: Carefully place your seeds, seedlings, or mature plants into the prepared Canna Terra Professional.
- Watering Schedule: Depending on the size of the pot, growing conditions, and the plant's growth stage, adjust the amount of water given to the needs of the plant in question. Under normal conditions, adult plants typically evaporate 4-6 litres of moisture per square metre per day.
- Pot Size for Larger Plants: For larger plants, consider using 5-litre pots or larger, as the increased volume provides a more constant root environment.
- Drainage: If using a run-to-waste system, ensure sufficient drainage. A thin layer of clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot can further improve air circulation and drainage.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and do not expose to temperatures below 4°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Canna Terra Professional and Canna Terra Professional Plus?
Canna Terra Professional contains a blend of upgraded black peat, granulated peat moss, and perlite, making it a high-quality all-round potting mix. Canna Terra Professional Plus, while not detailed here, typically features a more refined blend, often including white peat and specific tree bark for even higher performance and is generally aimed at more experienced growers seeking advanced properties.Is Canna Terra Professional suitable for all types of plants?
Canna Terra Professional's characteristics make it highly suitable for virtually every form of cultivation, accommodating a wide range of rapidly growing vegetable, herbaceous, fruit-bearing, and flowering plants. Its balanced properties make it an excellent choice for general cultivation.Do I need to add extra nutrients when using Canna Terra Professional?
Canna Terra Professional is a nitrogen-rich potting mix, providing initial nutrients to support early plant growth. However, for optimal and continuous development, especially during the vegetative and flowering stages, it is recommended to transition to a complete nutrient line, such as the Canna Terra range (Terra Vega and Terra Flores), after the first few weeks of growth.Can I use Terra Professional with seeds and cuttings?
While Canna Terra Professional is a high-quality potting mix suitable for general plant cultivation and can technically be used for seeds and cuttings, it is highly recommended to use Canna Terra Seed Mix specifically designed for these early stages.When should I transplant from Canna Terra Seed Mix to Canna Terra Professional?
Once your seeds have germinated and developed a good root system, typically after they have two or three pairs of true leaves, they can be successfully transferred to Canna Terra Professional or Canna Terra Professional Plus to continue their growth to maturity. For cuttings, once they have established a robust root ball, they are ready for transplanting.SKU: 1052Free delivery on orders over £60*
