What Type of Soil Do Calathea & Maranta Like?

In nature, Calathea and Maranta plants sprawl along rainforest floors where it's warm and humid and where they only have little sunlight. It can be tricky to recreate such conditions at home, but with our water-retaining calathea maranta mix this becomes less of a challenge.

Why choose our Premium Calathea & Maranta mix?

Water-retention properties: 

Moisture-loving plants will show an immediate reaction to insufficient hydration. Ingredients like lava, zeolite, and vermiculite ensure the soil remains moist, absorbing excess water and gradually releasing it as the soil begins to dry.

Airy and light composition: 

Even though Calatheas and Marantas love moisture, they are also susceptible to root rot. It is easy to misjudge their watering needs because these plants are sensitive to a lot of factors such as temperature, humidity level and drafts, with over- or underwatering them as a result. Our calathea potting mix combines ingredients such as pumice and activated charcoal to promote efficient drainage, reducing the chances of root rot.

Bioactive nutrient source: 

By pre-treating coco coir, our base component, we ensure that every nutrient added to the pot is readily available for your plant's absorption. With worm castings rich with beneficial bacteria and fungi, and an added boost of vital soil microorganisms like Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes, Azotobacter and others, your plants gain a strong defense against stress and diseases. We also add Mycorrhizae into the mix – a fungi that creates a symbiotic relationship with your plant's roots, greatly improving water and nutrient uptake. Zeolite's ability to lock in and gradually release nutrients, ensures that your plant has enough nutrients for one month after repotting.

What Type of Soil Do Cacti & Succulents Like?

Why Choose Our Premium Cacti & Succulents Mix?

Strong Drainage: 

A high percentage of non-porous grit and horticultural sand in this cactus soil mix ensures that excess water drains well through the holes at the bottom of your pot and doesn’t stay in the soil too long. Although these plants don’t like moist soil for long periods of time, make sure to water your plant thoroughly when time comes to mimic the rare pouring rains in the desert.

Reduced Moisture retention: 

With lowered amount of coco coir content, which typically retains water, our succulent soil mix is perfectly balanced to avoid oversaturation, letting the roots breath freely.

Bioactive Boost: 

By pre-treating coco coir, our base component, we ensure that every nutrient added to the pot is readily available for your plant's absorption. With worm castings rich with beneficial bacteria and fungi, and an added boost of vital soil microorganisms like Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes, Azotobacter and others, your plants gain a strong defense against stress and diseases. We also add Mycorrhizae into the mix – a fungi that creates a symbiotic relationship with your plant's roots, greatly improving water and nutrient uptake.

What type of soil do Aroids like?

Plants like Monstera and Philodendron are coming from hot and humid tropical forests and thrive in a potting mix that mirrors their native jungles — well-draining yet sufficiently water-retentive to maintain their tropical vibrancy.

Why choose our Premium Monstera & Philodendron mix?

Optimal Aeration: 

The choice of coarse grade ingredients in our monstera soil mix creates abundant aeration. This chunkiness is vital for creating air pockets that foster healthy root development, allowing the roots to spread and breathe easily.

While these tropical wonders appreciate humidity, they really despise waterlogged roots. With a balanced blend of zeolite, bark and pumice of different grain size, our soil mix for philodendron and monstera provides good drainage to minimize the risk of root rot. At the same time, ingredients like bark also ensure that your plants stay hydrated for up to two weeks.

What soil do Ficus plants like?

Why choose Premium Ficus mix?

 Aeration and good drainage: 

Roots of Ficus plants will enjoy this light potting mix. Components like lava and pumice have different grain sizes so that excess water can pass through easily preventing root rot. This Ficus soil mix will remain loose and won’t compact overtime.

Stability and moisture distribution: 

Regardless of the size of your Ficus, coarse ingredients like bark ensures the stability your plant needs to grow tall. In addition, these components together with a coco coir base ensure moderate water retention as Ficus plants don't like their soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Nutrient-rich bioactive soil: 

By pre-treating coco coir, our base component, we ensure that every nutrient added to the pot is readily available for your plant's absorption. With worm castings rich with beneficial bacteria and fungi, and an added boost of vital soil microorganisms like Bacillus sp., Actinomycetes, Azotobacter and others, your plants gain a strong defense against stress and diseases.
