Peat Substrate Mixed
for Container Size

Pots under 15 liters (~4 gallons) are common for houseplants, herbs, succulents, and young plants. These smaller containers dry out quickly and limit root space — so they need a mix that supports balance and health:

  • Retains moisture without becoming soggy.
  • Provides enough aeration to prevent root rot.
  • Lightweight and well-draining for easier maintenance.
  • Nutrient-rich to sustain steady growth in tight spaces.

Large pots (15 liters or 4 gallons and up) tend to compact, hold water unevenly, and get heavy. Mixes for these containers use coarse structure to keep soil open, moisture-regulating components for even watering, and lightweight additives to reduce bulk.

  • For containers 15+ liters (or 4 gallons and up).
  • Coarse structure – prevents compaction and keeps roots breathing.
  • Moisture regulation – ensures even water distribution throughout the pot.
  • Lightweight additives – reduce overall weight for easier handling.
Generic mix won’t cut it

Root space, drainage, and moisture retention all shift
with pot size, and a generic mix won’t cut it. Peatman
formulas match your setup, from trays to large planters.

If You...
have ever used the wrong mix before
Poor drainage, compaction, or weak root growth – all signs the substrate didn’t match the setup.
– or frustrated over inconsistent results
The first batch worked. The second didn’t. Sound familiar? We keep it stable.
...felt stuck choosing
Too many options. No clear answer. You just want something that works for your plant and system.

Even the best substrate won’t guarantee success if the conditions aren’t right. What matters is having the right mix for your setup. Consider the ‘what’ and ‘where’, that will help us determine the best formula for your substrate.
