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
