decent base nutrient, for your general supply of N, P, K, and micro-elements! Here, Aptus offers

For even better results
Read on to learn about a few more products you may want to consider adding to your mix as
well.
Enzyme+
If you want to go the extra mile and keep your roots clean and in tip-top condition to
maximize uptake, you should add Enzym+ to your mix too. It has the added benefits of
stabilizing the EC in your medium, preventing salt accumulation, as well as feeding your
microlife.
- Improved nutrient absorption
- Decreased nutrient lock up/out
- Root & medium cleaner
Soil care
We are convinced of the benefits of a healthy microlife population in our substrate, and so
should you! Microbes keep the soil in good condition, protect your root system, produce all
kinds of beneficial compounds, help to break down nutrients in the soil into forms your
plants can take up, and the list goes on. Most of our products stimulate the microlife, and
some contain specially selected strains of bacteria and fungi, like Micromix Soil, Micromix
Drip, and Mycor Mix. These products are great to kickstart the life in our substrate but
also to reinoculate the medium.
