How to Apply TerraCottem Universal in 3 Easy Steps
When it comes to revegetation and landscaping, success depends on more than just planting. Preparing the soil properly and giving plants the best possible start is what makes the difference between thriving growth and disappointing results.
That’s exactly why we’ve created a short educational video showing just how easy it is to apply TerraCottem Universal in the field. With three simple steps, you can improve plant establishment, save water, and ensure stronger, healthier growth.
What Is TerraCottem Universal?
TerraCottem Universal is the original and most widely used soil conditioner in the TerraCottem range. It’s a carefully balanced mix of:
-
Hydroabsorbent polymers that store water like a sponge and release it back to plant roots when needed.
-
Fertilizers with trace elements to feed plants during the crucial early months.
-
Volcanic rock carrier that improves soil structure and aeration.
-
Root growth biostimulants that trigger cell elongation and help roots develop faster and deeper.
Together, these components create a healthier soil environment that supports long-lasting plant growth—even in challenging conditions.
Why Use TerraCottem?
Using TerraCottem Universal isn’t just about convenience—it’s about measurable benefits:
-
Save up to 50% water by capturing and storing rainfall or irrigation.
-
Encourage deeper root systems that make plants more resilient to drought.
-
Work in poor soils—even degraded, sandy, or rocky sites.
-
Enjoy lasting results, with active ingredients working for up to eight years.
-
Scientifically proven and independently certified for water efficiency.
These benefits mean that revegetation projects, landscaping efforts, and even home gardens achieve better survival rates, improved growth, and reduced maintenance.
The 3-Step Application Process (as seen in the video)
-
Mix TerraCottem Universal into the backfill soil in each planting hole.
-
Plant your tree, shrub, or seedling as usual.
-
Water thoroughly to activate the polymers and give roots the best possible start.
That’s it—no special tools, no complicated procedures. Just a simple addition at planting time that delivers long-term rewards.
Real-World Results
Trials and fieldwork consistently show the benefits of TerraCottem. In one project, Alders planted with TerraCottem grew nearly twice as tall as untreated plants within the first year, with better bud retention and overall vitality.
From large-scale revegetation projects to small-scale landscaping and gardening, TerraCottem has been helping professionals and communities achieve greener, more resilient outcomes for decades.
Ready to Grow Smarter?
The difference is clear: with TerraCottem Universal, you give your plants the water, nutrients, and root support they need to establish faster and thrive longer.
