Melcourt introduces new additions to award-winning range

 

At Melcourt, we’ve been committed to formulating high performance, peat-free growing media, using responsibly-sourced ingredients for more than 40 years, earning us three Royal Warrants in the process.

 

Uniquely endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, and having been recognised multiple times as a Which? Gardening Best Buy, our SylvaGrow® range is widely recognised as the best peat-free compost on the market today. And for 2026, we’re offering even more choice for environmentally responsible gardeners.

 

SylvaGrow® Indoor Range

Now, you can bring outstanding SylvaGrow® performance to the great indoors. From cheese plants and spider plants to cacti, succulents and orchids, we have a tailored, peat-free mix to suit. Carefully crafted to support healthy indoor growth, these RHS-endorsed composts provide excellent structure, drainage, and moisture retention – everything your plants need to thrive indoors. Available in easy-to-manage 5l bags for convenient indoor use.

 

Horticultural Pot Dressings

Our new collection of horticultural grits and gravels have been developed to give your houseplants the perfect finishing touch. Perfect for pots and containers, our dressings help to lock in moisture and promote healthy drainage, while keeping your plants looking beautifully stylish. Available in handy 4kg bags for easy handling.

 

STOP PRESS!

We’re thrilled to announce that SylvaGrow® Houseplant was crowned as Winner at the Glee New Product Awards 2025 in the Growing Materials category – adding to our growing list of awards for outstanding performance!
