Comment SOIL for links to ingredients! I’ve been using this mix for over a decade and it hasn’t failed me! It’s the perfect amount of moisture retention and airflow to roots. Can be used for indoor AND outdoor plants! Mix up a big batch & be ready for spring repots 🙌🏻 It’s truly the best houseplant soil mix I’ve found. The potting soil I use is high quality & nutrient dense, the bark is a great size and the perlite is dust-free! Do you have repotting plans? Mix up a batch of this first! Your houseplants will thank you 🫶🏻

This mix went VIRAL last year! As we head towards spring save this video for the all repots you’ll be doing. Potting soil: A rich, moisture-holding base that provides nutrients. Perlite: Lightens the mix and boosts aeration and drainage. Orchid bark: Adds chunky texture and airflow, helping mimic a plant’s natural environment. Horticultural charcoal: Supports drainage, adds nutrients, and keeps the mix fresh by absorbing impurities. Find everything you need in my link in bio!

👇🏽Here’s the simple formula I use over and over: STEP 1 (the first move): Start with 25L premium potting mix. This is your base — it holds nutrients and moisture so your plants aren’t starving or drying out too fast. STEP 2 (the “missing” step): Add 10L orchid bark. This is where most people mess up. Bark creates air pockets, improves drainage, and prevents compacted, soggy soil (aka root rot territory). STEP 3 (the fast win): Mix in 5 cups coarse perlite. Perlite keeps the mix light, fluffy, and well-draining — so roots get oxygen and grow stronger, faster. 🌱 Why this works for indoor plants: • Better drainage • More airflow to roots • Less overwatering stress • Stronger, healthier root systems • A forgiving mix for most common houseplants Save this so you don’t forget the ratio. And if you want simple, no-fluff plant care that actually works — my guide walks you through it step by step. Comment “GUIDE” and grab your copy. Peace out Plant People ✌🏾🤍 we’ve got this. 🌿 #houseplant101 #indoorplants #planttok

Repotting season is fast approaching, so let’s prepare some potting mix 🪏🪴 I use equal parts perlite, bark and coco coir from @soil.ninja (A GODSEND 🥹🙏🏽) and add some worm castings as a natural fertiliser. This chunky mix has NEVER let me down, works a treat for bird of paradise, monsteras, pothos, snake plants, ZZ etc. 🥹🙏🏽 #houseplants #plantsofinstagram #pottingmix #houseplantjournal #houseplantsuk

My go-to recipe ⤵️ 🌱 20L premium potting mix (I use Osmocote) 🌬 5 cups coarse perlite Why this combo works (and keeps plants alive): • Premium potting mix gives your plant the nutrients, structure, and moisture-holding ability it needs to grow strong roots — without compacting straight away. • Coarse perlite boosts drainage and airflow, stopping soggy soil, root rot, and that “why is my plant sad for no reason” spiral. Together? You get soil that drains well, holds enough moisture, and lets roots breathe — aka the sweet spot most houseplants thrive in. If you want to know when to tweak this mix, how it changes for different plants, light levels, or pots, it’s all broken down step-by-step in my plant care guide 🌿 👉 Comment “GUIDE” for the link and stop guessing. Remember, you’re not bad at plants, you just need a little guidance. Peace out plant people ✌🏾🤍 You’ve got this

My DIY soil mix. I mix together 1 - 12 qt. bag of FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil, 1 - 8 qt. bag of Perlite, & 1 - 8 qt. bag of Miracle-Gro Orchid bark together well. And store in an airtight container. I usually use Miracle-Gro Perlite, but tired a different one this time.
