Bedding Plants
Bedding plants covers a vast array of fast-growing plants, typically annuals, that are used to create temporary, colourful displays in flower beds, borders, and containers. They are often planted in mass for a visual impact and are used in various growing situations, including flower beds, borders, containers, hanging baskets, and even for creating formal or carpet bedding designs.
Bedding plants are relatively straightforward to grow but due to the large array of cultivars available, the different growing methods and the introduction of perennial species into the bedding plant category, different nutritional needs are now required along with building in strength and resilience so the can adapt to the new homes in once sold and replanted into different substrates or soils.

Products for Bedding Plants
Bio-Chel Initiate
Bio-Chel Initiate is a concentrated liquid lignin complex created to aid the establishment of plants and crops in both soils and substrates by rapidly generating a healthy and energetic rootzone in both sown and transplanted crops. Initiate is 100% organic active plant lignin means its acceptance by seeds and plant roots could not be higher so application efficacy is assured.
Fortify Cu
Fortify Cu (7-16-0+1.5% Cu) is a unique formulation of nitrogen phosphorus, copper and halide ions which complement each other to support plant growth, support crop health and reduce yield loss. With programmed application Fortify Cu will aid vascular flow, support root growth, maintain established shoot growth and reduce susceptibility to disease infection.
MAS-Power Active Grow
Active Fruit is a high potassium foliar nutrient package designed to specifically increases the number, size and quality of all fruits. Using a unique package of specifically chosen elements and natural plant extracts, Active Fruit will also aid crop and plant quality, health and tolerance to abiotic stress factors. Active fruit contains the most readily leaf accepted form of potassium plus generous levels of support compounds, plant phytohormones, vitamins and amino acids specifically aimed at supporting fruit development.
Fortify Maxx
Fortify Maxx builds on the success of market leading biostimulatory technologies such as Fortify Cu and Fortify XD and introduces a brand-new technology to growing. Fortify Maxx is a package of three chelated micronutrients and unique to Engage, plant extracts called ‘Phenophites’ taken from specific plant species naturally attuned to withstanding higher levels of abiotic and biotic stress. The nutrition and phenophite package increase the natural production of phenolic compounds to significantly limit a plants susceptibility to stress of any kind.
Sion
The overuse of inorganic fertilisers and pesticides has massively reduced soil biology to the point where the need for silicon nutrition has established. Plants only take up one specific form of silicon which is silicic acid. Engage developed the use of a new form of stabilised silicic acid and this is Sion.
At 21% Silicon, Sion is highest available liquid silicon in the world and delivers silicon at such high levels its use rate is only required 0.25-1.0L per hectare. Using Sion regularly will support the optimal growth to strengthen all plant tissues to reduce susceptibility to any stress and reduce susceptibility from pathogen infection and insect predation.
Sentinel
Sentinel is a 10% targeted foliar Silicon is based upon the delivery of mono-silicic and salicylic acid to the crop. This is the only form of silicon plants will accept and its affects are highly beneficial to hardy nursery stock crops. Once applied it is used by the plants help to build resilient cells which act as a physical barrier for the crop to help reduce both susceptibility to disease infection and predation from insect pests.
Pure Mix
A range of high quality water soluble N:P:K, secondary and trace elements blends specifically created to meet the needs of irrigated crops using only the purest ingredients and blended to the highest standards for use in all irrigation types.
Pure-Mix offers a range of analysis to cater for all crops and all growing conditions and comes in two forms, standard and water tuned (acid), to optimise soil and growing media pH and nutrient availability.
The Pure-Mix range is extensive with multiple standard/acid analyses bespoke analyses upon request and trace element mixes. All are created without the need for help in dissolution and come without dye unless required.
