Grow the healthiest veggies, flowers, fruit, and lawns. Ideal for plants with unique needs, all with the Searles Specialty Mix Range.
Looking for premium Australian-Made garden care products? Just ask your Local Garden Centre for Searles.
Searles Specialty Mixes take the guesswork out of growing sensitive or exotic varieties by providing a custom-engineered growing medium that replicates their natural habitat.
Using specific textures and pH-balanced ingredients, these mixes ensure that plants with distinct requirements - such as Orchids, Cacti, or Bonsai - receive the precise drainage and aeration they need, preventing root rot and ensuring spectacular results that standard potting mixes cannot provide.

Every Searles Specialty Mixes product gives you:
Uses specific ingredients like orchid bark, peat moss, or coarse sand to match the plant's native soil conditions
Specifically adjusted for plants that require acidic soil or more alkaline conditions to thrive
Provides the exact level of porosity or grit needed for delicate or specialised root systems
Includes specific low-phosphorus or high-potassium levels depending on the unique sensitivity of the plant variety
Pathogen-free mixes protect rare and sensitive specialty plants from soil-borne diseases and pests
