In This Episode

On this episode of Your Greenhouse Home - The Podcast, Jessie and Annie talk about the components of a good potting mix and how to create 5 custom soil mixes for all your planty needs.

The foundation of any healthy plant starts with one thing – the soil. A proper potting mix ensures that your plant has everything it needs including micro and macro nutrients, aeration (oxygen), and water retention.

Topics Covered:
  • The components of houseplant potting soil
  • The potting mixes we carry and their important differences
  • Why the right soil is important
  • Why it can be good to make your own mix
  • Our in-house created custom soil recipes. More information, and detailed recipes, can be found on our blog post here: Tonkadale's Custom Indoor Plant Soil Recipes
  • Mycorrhizae fungi and their role in soil
