PRO-MIX Organic Seed Starting Mix is a peat-based organic seed starting mix for indoor seed starting and cuttings, created to support reliable germination and strong early root development. This ready-to-use seed starting medium is specially formulated with all natural ingredients for clean, consistent starts.
Built for vegetables and herbs, annuals and perennials, this organic seed starting mix is designed around an even, workable texture that helps young roots settle in quickly. MYCOACTIVE technology is included to stimulate vigorous growth for greater stress resistance, helping seedlings and cuttings maintain steadier momentum during early development. That same MYCOACTIVE technology supports stronger roots leading to healthier plants with greater resistance to transplant shock, which matters when young plants move from starter cells into their next container.
Moisture balance is another core feature. This blend is formulated with coco fibre that helps manage moisture levels, keeping the mix from feeling overly heavy while staying comfortably moist for early-stage rooting. The same coco fibre component is described to protect roots from rot, supporting a cleaner, more stable root environment during the most sensitive phase of growth. For growers who want dependable starts without constant second-guessing, that moisture-management focus is a practical advantage.
Nutrition is kept simple and purpose-built. An organic fertilizer is included that gradually nourishes plants for up to 3 months, helping maintain steady early growth without turning a seed-starting setup into a complex routine. The mix is also OMRI listed for organic gardening, making it easy to place in an organic-focused indoor garden or seed-starting program where inputs matter.
The ingredients are straightforward and clearly defined: Canadian sphagnum peat moss, coir (coco fibre), perlite, limestone, organic fertilizer, and mycorrhizae with PTB297 technology. With its peat-based foundation, MYCOACTIVE technology, and seed starting and cuttings focus, PRO-MIX Organic Seed Starting Mix is a good fit for growers who want a ready-to-use organic seed starting medium that supports vigorous early growth, stronger roots, and moisture-balanced performance indoors.
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.
Coconut coir is important because it holds water while still keeping roots oxygenated, creating a more stable root zone that supports faster, healthier growth, and it’s unique compared to similar media because it combines soil-like moisture buffering with more controllable, predictable nutrient and drainage behavior.
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.
Yes, when soil is too acidic, limestone can help plants grow better by gently raising pH and supplying calcium so roots can absorb nutrients more smoothly. It’s unique because it fixes the root-zone chemistry itself, which can solve several “mystery deficiencies” at once, but if used when pH is already high it can trigger micronutrient lockout instead.
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.
Organic-based fertilizer is slower because its nutrients are released as the root zone breaks down organic particles over time, so it feeds plants through steady biological conversion rather than instant availability, which is what makes it uniquely good at supporting long-term root health and stability.
