TerraCottem universal

Physical soil conditioner

Grow healthier plants using significantly less water

TerraCottem universal is an advanced soil conditioner designed to optimise plant growth while reducing irrigation requirements. It combines water-absorbing components, plant nutrients and growth stimulants that work together to improve root development and plant establishment — even in poor, degraded or challenging soils.

By improving soil structure and water retention, TerraCottem universal delivers a dual benefit: healthier, more resilient plants and water savings of up to 50% compared with conventional planting methods. This makes it particularly well suited to projects facing drought stress, climate variability or limited water availability.

As the original TerraCottem product, it is suitable for a wide range of applications including trees, shrubs, revegetation projects, annuals, perennials, roof gardens, agriculture, horticulture and potting soils. It helps ensure successful planting outcomes where soil quality or climate conditions would otherwise limit growth.

For flowering plants, TerraCottem universal promotes more abundant and longer-lasting blooms, improved drought resistance, and reduced wilting during dry periods.
