Give Your Garden the Right Foundation

Does your garden struggle to support acid-loving plants? If your Azaleas, Gardenias, or Proteas aren’t thriving, the issue might not be your gardening skills—it’s likely your soil’s pH. Many South African gardens, especially in Pretoria, have alkaline or neutral soils, which can starve these plants of essential nutrients.

The solution? Culterra Acid Compost. Specifically designed to create the perfect environment for acid-loving plants, this premium compost is the easiest and most effective way to transform your soil. Whether you’re planting new shrubs or trying to revive struggling greenery, this organic blend ensures your garden gets exactly what it needs.

At Green Cube Maintenance & Landscaping, we’ve worked with countless estates, business parks, and commercial gardens, and we know how vital soil health is. By using the right compost, you can achieve vibrant growth and flourishing blooms without the frustration of stunted plants or yellowing leaves.

Why Acid Compost is Essential for Your Garden

1. Corrects Soil pH for Acid-Loving Plants

Most commercial gardens in Pretoria naturally have neutral or alkaline soil, which can be detrimental to plants like Hydrangeas and Camellias. Culterra Acid Compost is formulated to lower the pH, ensuring these plants absorb the nutrients they need for strong growth and colourful flowers.

2. Promotes Sustainable Plant Health

Unlike chemical-based soil treatments, Culterra Acid Compost is 100% organic, meaning it improves soil structure while enriching it with essential nutrients. This not only helps plants grow but also supports long-term soil fertility and microbial activity.

3. Enhances Nutrient Absorption

Even if you fertilise your plants regularly, improper soil pH can block nutrient absorption. With this compost, you eliminate that problem, ensuring your plants take in the right balance of nutrients for optimal growth and resilience.

4. Prevents Common Growth Issues

Yellowing leaves, weak stems, and poor flowering are common signs of nutrient deficiencies in acid-loving plants. With the right compost, you prevent these problems before they start, keeping your garden lush and full of life.

5. Easy Application and Lasting Results

Applying Culterra Acid Compost is simple—just mix it 1:1 with your existing soil when planting, or use it as a top dressing around established plants. It provides ongoing benefits, gradually improving soil quality and plant health over time.

FAQs About Culterra Acid Compost

1. How do I know if my soil needs acid compost?

If your acid-loving plants show yellowing leaves or weak growth, your soil may be too alkaline. You can test your soil’s pH with a simple kit from a garden centre, but if you’re unsure, using acid compost as a preventive measure is always a good idea.

2. Can I use Culterra Acid Compost for all plants in my garden?

No, this compost is specifically designed for acid-loving plants. If you have plants that prefer neutral or alkaline soil, consider using a general-purpose compost instead.

3. How often should I apply acid compost?

For best results, mix it into the soil during planting and reapply as a top dressing once or twice a year to maintain soil acidity and plant health.
