Description

The soil where lemons feel at home on the Mediterranean coast. BIGOS is professional BIOVITA growing medium for plants that do not tolerate wet feet: citrus trees, olive trees, lavender, rosemary, oleander and figs. Its light, porous structure with coconut fibre, bark and fired-clay aggregate drains excess water, while the added starter fertiliser feeds plants for the first 4–5 weeks after repotting. The 8 l bag is the ideal amount for one large tree or two–three smaller pots.

At a glance

  • Capacity: 8 l
  • Form: ready-to-use, loose, multi-component growing medium
  • Composition: coconut fibres, composted bark, vermiculite, fired-clay aggregate, professional fertiliser

  • Intended for: lemons, oranges, limes, mandarins, kumquats, as well as olive trees, rosemary, lavender and other Mediterranean plants
  • Use: planting and repotting plants in pots and balcony planters
  • Starter fertiliser: sufficient for approx. 4–5 weeks; afterwards, feed with citrus fertiliser
  • Yield: 8 l is enough for approx. 2–3 20 cm pots or one 30 cm planter

What makes this product stand out

Citrus and Mediterranean plants originate from stony, dry soils – in ordinary, peat-based universal soil, their roots quickly suffocate and rot. BIGOS addresses this at the foundation: coconut fibre and composted bark create a loose, durable framework, vermiculite stores water and nutrients, while fired-clay aggregate ensures constant drainage and aeration even after many months in a pot. The growing medium does not compact, form a crust or pull away from the sides after drying out.

A pH of 5.5–6.5 is exactly what citrus plants prefer – in more alkaline growing media, they stop absorbing iron and turn yellow. The professional fertiliser in the mix meets plants’ nutritional needs for 4–5 weeks after repotting, giving the roots time to establish in the new growing medium without the risk of overfertilisation.

How to use it step by step

Preparation: choose a pot 2–4 cm larger than the previous one, обязательно with drainage holes. Spread 2–3 cm of expanded clay or pumice over the bottom – Mediterranean plants will reward you for every bit of additional drainage. Gently mix the growing medium in the bag and, if it is dry, lightly moisten it.

Planting: remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the outer roots and position it so that the root collar (where the trunk transitions into the roots) is level with the growing medium – do not plant citrus trees too deeply. Fill the empty spaces with BIGOS growing medium, gently pressing it down with your fingers without compacting it.

Watering: water thoroughly after planting until water runs out through the holes, then pour away any excess from the saucer after 15 minutes. Water again only when the top 2–3 cm of the growing medium has dried out – usually every 5–10 days, depending on the season.

Feeding and repotting: do not fertilise during the first 4–5 weeks – the growing medium contains a supply of nutrients. Then, from spring until the end of summer, apply citrus fertiliser every 1–2 weeks. Repot young trees every year and older ones every 2–3 years, preferably in early spring before new growth begins.

Uses

This growing medium is formulated for all citrus plants grown in pots – lemons, oranges, limes, mandarins, kumquats and calamondins – as well as for olive trees, figs, pomegranates, rosemary, lavender, oleander, bougainvillea and thyme. It is suitable for planting citrus seedlings and other exotic plants grown from seeds that have just outgrown the seedling stage, and for filling balcony planters with Mediterranean herbs. For plants that are particularly sensitive to overwatering (olive trees, lavender), you can additionally mix it with perlite or pumice in a 3:1 ratio.

Gardener’s tip

Repot citrus plants in February–March, just before the growing season begins, and do not increase the pot size “just in case”. In an oversized pot, the soil around the roots remains wet for a long time, even in a well-draining growing medium like BIGOS, which is the easiest route to root rot and leaf drop. It is better to repot more often, increasing the pot by just one size.
