Our quality mixed planting-substrates provide the right foundation for proper and successful
plant care.
The most important element of houseplant care is using the right planting medium.
Most herbaceous houseplants require a sufficiently loose, coarse, and well-draining planting-
substrate (“potting soil”). Examples of such plants include Epipremnum, Syngonium,
Philodendron, Monstera, Begonia, and Peperomia*. The root systems of these and similar
plants (especially within the family Araceae) do not penetrate deeply; they grow just below the
soil surface and in the loose, fragmented tropical soil, mainly in a horizontal direction. Due to
the tropical climate, the roots are almost constantly supplied with water, yet they do not rot
because the loose, well-ventilated soil prevents this by not absorbing and retaining large
amounts of water.
As a result, they can develop strong and large root systems only in loose and mixed planting-
substrates that contain components capable of storing some water. Good potting-substrates
and conditions together result in strong and large leaves, as well as rapid growth.
What could be a better choice for this than our own soil mixes? The best reference is our
valuable plant collection and our customers who repeatedly choose this mix for repotting their
plants. Thank you for choosing us!
A few important tips:
Use a pot at least 2-3 sizes larger.
Remove as much of the old substrate as possible, being careful not to damage the roots.
Once finished, water your plant and place it in a warm, bright, and humid environment (next
watering according to the plant's needs).
Leaf yellowing and temporary wilting may occur.
Do not fertilize for 3-4 months after repotting.
