Become a TerraCottem distributor
What do your clients do when…
What if with a simple gesture at the time of planting, they give plants the extra help to start off the right foot instead of struggling to germinate or survive transplant shock?
Many of our clients are faced with less-than-ideal growing conditions on site. Others want to make sure the newly planted plants & trees will survive, even with erratic rainfall and high temperatures.
At TerraCottem we provide solutions to individuals, organisations and professionals who are committed to creating more fertile soil and a greener planet as part of the solution to the challenges presented by climate change.
Today the company offers 4 different soil conditioners which are distributed worldwide through a network of wholesale suppliers.
Each soil conditioner contains nutritive, growth stimulating and water absorbing components. They all work in synergy to stimulate root development and plant growth, even in poor and degraded soils.
Not all soils are conducive to good plant growth. Prolonged droughts and irregular rainfall are limiting factors for plant growth. The TerraCottem soil amendments provide more fertile soil for sustainable, healthy root and plant growth and allow water savings up to 50%.
The TerraCottem soil improvers nurture, protect & hydrate plants. Nurture is also how we describe our collaboration with our distributors and how they care for their clients. In 2023 we celebrated our 30th anniversary and we work hard as a team, more than ever, to keep on giving a bespoke service to our “wholesale” distributors.
Niels Vandevelde – Tuinen de Jonghe, Belgium:
"The extra investment in soil conditioning generally does not weigh up against the total cost."
Pavel Okénka - FLORSTYL s.r.o., Czech Republic:
“Beyond the savings in maintenance, TerraCottem plays a crucial role in ensuring successful plant establishment. In similar projects, we might typically expect up to a 15% loss in plants. However, with the use of TerraCottem, we've managed to reduce this loss to nearly zero in the bio-corridors we've established. Even in cases where TerraCottem isn't specified, we use it to lower our maintenance costs. For us TerraCottem is a guarantee that plants will establish, survive critical periods and grow well.”
Jeroen Myny – Myny Tuinprojecten, Belgium:
"We used TerraCottem a few times in gardens where we had to lay turf. The difference was evident. Mainly because we had to water less. And in summer, those lawns stay greener, even during fierce droughts. We haven’t stopped using it since then.”
Kim Van Havere – Disaghor Group, Belgium:
"TerraCottem is a tool to give new rooftop plantings a good start."
Javier Gómez Garcimartín - tree officer at Seville City Council's Parks and Gardens Service, Spain:
"TerraCottem increases the water availability for the trees. It gives us a guarantee so that we minimise the need to replant trees."
Luis Gonzalo Moscoso Higuita – Forestpa S.A.S, Colombia:
“I did a lot of trials of my own and concluded that it was a product that had what I wanted: macronutrients, microelements, very good addition of volcanic rock, biostimulants and, on top of that, the water retention granules in a high percentage. In TerraCottem I found the product that has it all in one.”
Giles Dehem – landscaper, Belgium:
“The soil conditioner promotes strong roots, acts as a water buffer and is active up to 8 years. The grass stays green longer with TerraCottem.”
Eric Bouton – Head of Green Spaces department at City of Calais, France:
“We work with very short lead times to achieve good plant development and high quality flowers. This soil amendment gives us a near total survival guarantee. We obtained the 4th Flower at Entente Florale this year (2017) partly thanks to the Ephemeral Garden boosted with TerraCottem. For gardens exposed to wind and sandy soil TerraCottem is a real asset for success.”
El Cadoso – olive tree plantation, province of Seville, Spain:
“During August when temperatures were above 40ºC, we couldn’t irrigate for five days because of a breakdown in the irrigation system. Thanks to the application of TerraCottem, the plants did not suffer excessively and perfectly withstood the water stress, avoiding a great loss of plant material and investment.”
Stefaan De Smet - Horticultural officer at the City of Oudenaarde, Belgium:
“The renowned trade fair Flanders Technology International brought TerraCottem to our city, which was during the early stages of the company. We were keen to try this new technology to improve our work. Very early on we saw our maintenance costs drop and since then we have continuously used TerraCottem in our annual planting.”
Dylan Keam – Greenkeeper, Bundaberg Golf Club, Queensland, Australia:
“Since we put TerraCottem into the tee, it established a very nice dences, plain tee surface – the golfers love that!”
... about how TerraCottem has helped professionals create sustainable planting projects while saving on maintenance and water.
"As a fertiliser and soil consultant, I have known TerraCottem for over 10 years. As a wholesale supplier to landscapers, it is part of our standard range. The soil is the basis and that is exactly the philosophy that TerraCottem expresses. The innovative and sustainable character of the product fits in perfectly with our range, with which we help gardeners to make future-oriented and responsible choices."
"We have been working with the whole range of TerraCottem for many years now. The excellent quality and fantastic results that both professional and private customers achieve are the best advertisement you can get. TerraCottem – the right soil improver for extreme conditions."
"It is a great joy to hear how satisfied our clients are. On top of that the cooperation with TerraCottem international, Carol and her team, is very pleasant and we get full support. As climate changes, the temperature rises and there is more lack of water during summer, we have the perfect tool in the form of TerraCottem to help satisfy our customers. And that gives satisfaction to us as well."
"We’ve been stockist for TerraCottem over 25 years. We’ve enjoyed a very successful relationship. What we fundamentally like and are most impressed about the business TerraCottem is how they market themselves and promote the brand. That in turn helps us immensely when we sell TerraCottem to our UK customers."
"We sell a lot of TerraCottem to gardeners and local councils as people are increasingly seeing the benefits. We have more and more dry spells, hot summers and water is becoming scarcer. This makes TerraCottem a very interesting product that provides added value."

Each TerraCottem soil conditioner contains nutritive, growth stimulating and water absorbing components.
They all increase the water and nutrient holding capacity of soils and growing media, increase plants' root development, growth and survival rate and allow water savings up to 50%.
TerraCottem soil conditioners work at the plant’s root level. They are mixed with the soil when planting.
TerraCottem universal is the “original” TerraCottem soil amendment. Since it was introduced in 1993, the product has constantly evolved with better performing polymers (also know as hydrogel, water storing granules or super absorber), fertilisers and carrier material to further enhance root and plant growth and reduce inputs. This is still the TerraCottem to use in most applications such as trees, shrubs, revegetation, annuals, perennials, roof gardens, horticulture and potting soils. |

TerraCottem turf soil improver contains zeolite a 100 percent natural volcanic mineral that helps increase soil fertility and water retention. The product’s benefits are further boosted by the inclusion of turf specific fertilisers and humic acids which have a positive effect on the soil’s water holding capacity,, structure and microbiological activity. All this, to get quicker grass establishment, enhanced root growth and sustainable plant growth and improve the quality of turf, seeded grass and sprigs. |

TerraCottem arbor soil conditioner has been developed specially for tree and shrub planting. Central to this latest formulation are the new generation polymers, the inclusion of humic acids to further increase the soil’s water retention capacity, structure and microbiological activity and tree specific fertilisers (with a lifespan up to 12 months) balanced with a starter fertiliser for rapid plant establishment and a synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. All this, to ease early tree acclimation to the planting area, enhance root and plant growth and increase tree survival rate whilst reducing inputs and replacement costs. |
||
TerraCottem complement soil amendement has been specially formulated for applications in flower beds and horticulture previously treated with the “universal” soil conditioner. TerraCottem complement replenishes the components that have been consumed by the plants during the previous growing season and those lost each time a crop or annuals are pulled from the soil. Due to its application the nutrient and water holding capacity of soils and growing media is kept in optimal conditions. |
