PRO-MIX® HP® AGTIV REACH® is a high porosity growing medium for growers who want better drainage and root-zone airflow. This soilless growing medium is a peat-based growing medium built for consistent starts and steady growth in containers.
The foundation is fibrous sphagnum peat moss paired with coarse perlite, creating a structure that supports good drainage, high air porosity, and low water retention. A coarse particle size and low bulk density help keep the mix light, open, and responsive across a wide range of container sizes. Calcitic and dolomitic limestone and a wetting agent are included to round out the formula for reliable performance in professional production environments. The overall profile is made for watering flexibility and crop seasonality, especially when conditions change across the year.
In day-to-day growing, PRO-MIX® HP® AGTIV REACH® dries out more frequently than general-purpose peat-based mixes, which can make it more difficult to overwater crops. It is also well suited for low-light and high-humidity growing conditions where heavier mixes can stay too wet. Because it holds less water, it supports improved leaching of fertilizer salts during crop cycles, helping keep the root zone in a more balanced range for ongoing growth.
Biological support is built in through AGTIV REACH® and a beneficial endomycorrhizae inoculant. AGTIV REACH® technology develops the root system, supporting plant root systems while encouraging a larger, more effective rooting area. As roots expand, it enhances nutrient and water uptake, which supports more vigorous and healthy plants with steadier growth momentum. This is a good fit for annuals, foliage plants, and potted flowering plants, plus greenhouse vegetables, vegetable transplants, and young plant propagation when you want a high porosity growing medium that stays airy and drains cleanly.
Calcitic limestone raises overly acidic soil toward a healthier pH range while adding slow, steady calcium for stronger roots and sturdier new growth. It’s important because pH controls nutrient uptake, and it’s unique because it buffers the root zone gradually instead of acting like a fast, temporary calcium boost.
Canadian sphagnum peat moss is important because it holds moisture evenly while still supporting air spaces that roots need for oxygen, which makes watering and nutrient uptake more consistent. It is unique because it naturally trends acidic and acts more like a moisture-and-structure foundation than a nutrient source, so it changes root-zone balance in ways other base ingredients do not.
Dolomitic limestone is both a gentle pH buffer and a slow source of calcium and magnesium, which is important because pH stability controls how reliably roots can access nutrients. It’s unique because it supports magnesium at the same time it neutralizes excess acidity, helping you avoid the common situation where pH improves but growth still struggles due to a weak calcium-magnesium foundation.
Perlite is important because it increases root-zone oxygen and improves drainage, helping roots stay healthy and active; it’s unique because its main benefit is physical structure and airflow—not nutrients or moisture storage—so it fixes “too wet and compact” root problems in a simple, predictable way.
Mycorrhizae form a living partnership with roots that expands the plant’s effective root reach, helping it gather water and hard-to-reach nutrients more efficiently. They’re important because they improve steadiness and stress tolerance over time, and they’re unique because they physically connect to roots and build a fungal network in the root zone rather than acting like a direct nutrient input.
A wetting agent helps water spread and soak evenly through the root zone instead of beading up, running off, or channeling through one path, which makes hydration and nutrient flow more consistent. It’s important because it improves the water delivery system rather than feeding the plant directly, making it uniquely useful when the real problem is uneven wetting and dry pockets that can mimic deficiencies.
